here's some photos I took years ago during my first summer holiday home from london...pretty 'real' I think
http://autumningothenburg.blogspot.co.uk/2009/08/home-sweet-home.html

You Real England smalltowns which actually have railway stations, you don't know how good you have it. Or maybe the areas which got thoroughly Beechinged are insufficiently Real for this thread.

(Enjoyed the photos btw.)

it would be nice to think pointy men's shoes were a dispiriting vulgarity contained only to england

The street with 18 betting shops

THE MUSIC ROOM CREW

Then: You ever sit down and wonder who actually likes Muse? Or Biffy Clyro? Or John Frusciante? Well, consider that every school in the country has at least three guys who wear Fender T-shirts and spend their lunch breaks arguing about the correct way to play the "Under The Bridge" intro. And that there's, well – I dunno – a lot of schools in the UK, and you begin to understand these bands' popularity. At first, I wasn't sure they were still a "thing", but then I looked at the line-up for Reading this year and instantly realised that these young men were still ploughing their own furrow. Still got love for Flea, still not loving electronic beats.

Now: Unsurprisingly, in this troublesome economic climate, it seems most of them are still refusing to give up the snuggly world of education; still enrolled in various obscure universities (Buckinghamshire New, Anglia Ruskin, Glyndŵr) doing studies in obscure technical bullshit (RPG Design, Turf Technology, Josh Homme studies). They all grew wavy ponytails, started Reddit accounts and became the "rock" guys you see in every Wetherspoons; studded wristbands, 3/4 length pleather jackets, talking about UKIP and dragons.

They resent fashion in all its forms; every T-shirt has to refer to something else, be it a band or a Red Dwarf character. The strange thing about this particular subculture is that it doesn't seem to be something that people grow out of. We've all had our stages with different scenes, but mostly they're just fleeting obsessions with a rebel ideal. For guys like this, it seems to be more of a long-term lifestyle choice – a monastic vow of uncool.

that is c&ped from a mostly not very good article on vice.com but anyway

one night recently after missing the last train back from a suburban London town of debatable realness I ended up at the only place where drinking could be prolonged, a night at the local rock club. It was remarkable, exactly the same as it would have been in 2001 except everybody's a bit fatter and a bit balder and a lot more empty inside.

rock club people always seem reasonably affable to me except odd one with genuine booze/drugs/mental health issues

Reading

EMINEM
Chase and Status
Foals
White Lies
Brand New
Twin Atlantic
The Blackout
Lower Than Atlantis
Mallory Knox

i only know three of those and one of them is from an ilx thread clowning a bbc sound of 201x thread

and one of the others is eminem

i think i know the same 3 as you and i only know what 1 and a half of them sound like

Mallory Knox sounds like a short lived US detective show from the 90s

rock club people always seem reasonably affable to me except odd one with genuine booze/drugs/mental health issues

the rock dudes in my old market town (7,000 people) were good guys who would seek out and stand up for the other youngish oddballs and misfits in town - as a mere badly dressed indie geek I felt honoured to tag along with this ragtag bunch of metallers + eastern Europeans + about half of the very few non-white people in town

then you go to the rock pub in the nearest 100k town (except you don't in the one I'm thinking of / living in now, because it's closed down) and the bar staff all completely blank anyone not in the exact same regulation leathers, band shirt and haircut as everyone else there. and everyone there would be white, since I brought up race in the first paragraph.

speaking of white I think I first heard of White Lies in the same month as another White Something band and now I can't remember if I used to like them or if I'm thinking of someone else

Yes. ^

After hearing the religious revivalist Gypsy Daniels attracting crowds with his shout of ‘I've got heaven’, Monolulu adopted his own slogan ‘I've gotta horse’, sometimes alternating with ‘Black man for luck’.

[Jeffrey] Bernard had brought with him a box of Black Magic chocolates and offered the famous tipster a ‘strawberry cream’. Unfortunately, Monolulu started to fatally choke on the chocolate. Bernard backed out of the ward bidding farewell.

xp if I express my disappointment at that not being a website dedicated to Oxford drum'n'bass I won't be veering off topic right

There were some great photos on that link earlier, particularly the one where it looks like Hendrix has stepped out of the tardis at the 1923 Epsom Derby. They're gone now, must have been some copyright issue.

ignore I clicked on the wrong link.

I once saw a guy do the whole of "Star Trekkin'" by the Firm pitch-perfectly in a karaoke bar in Ilfracombe, Devonshire.

I sniggered at this standard xenophobic thread title on a football message board: "Hope Andy batters the pole now."

The Camerons - along with their children Nancy, Arthur and Florence - shared a private lunch with the estate’s owners before heading to the main arena at the festival.

The Conservative leader was then seen admiring a stall of colourful tutus with eldest daughter Nancy before the family were whisked away from the festival’s campsite.

The festival boasts music across four stages and also has an exclusive VIP area.

On the festival’s website, the 'eclectic and eccentric' event is described as a 'dynamic summer festival disguised as a country fayre - a lovingly crafted, top notch, very English open air party, tailor-made for the whole family'.
