Apparently the whole club smelled of fresh paint. They must have rushed to get it open. Oh and you *totally* stole "Madchester deniers" from my brain. I was going to give my post that title, but I logged onto the tinternet only to discover you'd beaten me to it. Very bizarre coincidence. Great minds and all that... Autechre, indeed.

Looking forward to the over-the-top, name-dropping, fawning review in a certain web-based magazine. My spies tell me a certain portly 'publisher' attended the opening party. Can't wait Spot on.

I can now simply point people to it and say yeah, what he said. A friend forwarded me on the press release for the club's big launch night and it had that quote on it from Tony Wilson: "This is Manchester... we do things differently here." If only. We don't do things differently at all, we just keep doing the same thing over and over and over. Ha, you’ve written the blog post I was going to write pretty much down to the letter.

But how does any of this explain (or excuse) the success of Elbow and Doves? Just a thought. Not close enough to any scene to actually know the answer, by the way.
