I was in a band called Sensoria (because we were all Cabs fans, obv). We were aiming for a cross between "Snake Hands Forever"-era Head Of David and Ministry, everyone thought we sounded like the Sisters. THIS MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH OUR SINGER BEING AN ELDRITCH CLONE. We played with The Hunters Club and it all went a bit wrong somewhere - I remember being smuggled out to avoid fights. Which didn't stop us getting signed that night. Gary and I eventually ended up in Goat Science, which was more or less the Varikose Veins with me on bass (them having mutated into Forkeye).
For anyone trying to work out who I was generally, I was the DON'T LAUGH YOU FUCKERS painfully thin guy with the pretty long hair who used to hang about with Claire With The One Arm (she was friends with my ex-wife).

Yes.
But I tend to think of it as Shadow as we only ever played the Shadow mix, because the Krush version was rubbish. Shadow made it good. It's got a sample of Prince Geno and the Tailor Mades at the end too, which is great.

HI DERE!
We HAVE to do this
right, YES. how? anyone?
Right, pick a city first. Glasgow or Edinburgh? Then we can work on logistics from there.
btw, I absolutely do not want to be a student again under any circumstances ever.

No it wouldn't because I'm not talking about the late 90s and I'm not naming not particularly good bands. But whatever.
(that thread is awesome, btw. Also I have discovered that I actually own a single by Blaggers ITA. And that Matty Blag is now dead)

Revive, since some drunken japery in the pub last night has led Grimly and I to start discussing the possibility of making Club 30 Something a reality.
I found this thread by googling for "teethgrinder" :-)

I'd like to start an indie disco.
And when all the cool indie kids had come inside with their cool indie haircuts, blazers and ironic lunchboxes I'd lock the doors, nail their palms to the walls and play Reign in Blood over and over again until they all bled to death.
I don't think that's unreasonable.

I don't know what's more depressing, the fact that all my friends are into the NME anthems and not much else, or the fact that the anthems haven't moved forward or changed AT ALL in five years. Seriously, if I was paying £5 a week every week I'd at least want to hear something beyond a "will this standardised iTunes playlist do?" effort.
Club 30 does sound pretty amazing.

Do you mean "student anthems" or do you mean music that actually gets played at students unions, in my experience they're entirely different apart from that 2004-2007 period when it would've been all the Fratellis and Razorlight and Bloc Party and what have you. Only Kings of Leon, Mumford & Sons and yer sub-MGMTs have really done much since then.
The last time the charts felt this disconnected from guitar music was around 1999-2001, which was when I was a student. And the non-cheese nights at my union were playing chart 2-step, eurotrance and the occasional US RnB or hip-hop crossover. My guess would be that this year's student anthems are Katy On A Mission, Pass Out, the two Roll Deep number ones, some of the Magnetic Man stuff and Kanye/Gaga/Black Eyed Peas.
