Ok so I rarely hit Oxford st or go out at all for that matter(when I do I end up there) but just out of curiousity is there anywhere that actually plays decent music?
Seems to be a resounding no!
I mean I generally end up at Palms because everywhere else is just obnoxious bass beats and a remarkable lack of lyricism, but even that was shitting me to tears with its lack of Debbie Harry and its Kylie Overkill.
I managed to catch the Rock thing they had going at the flinders a couple of times but it was few and far between and ended up dying anyhow.
When I lived in Melbourne and was in sexual/gender purgatory they had Q&A which was awesome, and I used to hang at Aaliyah with my lesbian housemate which was half decent too, and barring the pretentious “seen to be scene” vibe, 77 used to at least have some pretty good music.
I mean I’m sure I’m coming off as a whiny bitch but honestly I don’t understand how people can go do the same thing every weekend on the strip and not get sick of it(my rationalization is that there are more than likely drugs involved)
I mean I hear a lot of people talking about how awesome stonewall is but I’ve only been there three times now and every time I’ve found it offensive to the state of nausea.
Can someone help me please? Otherwise I think I’m just going to give up on Australia for somewhere to have a good time.
Alternatively does anyone know any D.J.s that play music other than techno/electronica, I’d be willing to find a space and also have a lot of friend who are of all Gender identities that would frequent such a place.
I don’t mean to poo poo, but this is really not my thing and I’d like to find places and people that share my idea of fun, it’s not a lot to ask is it?
Variety is the spice of life but there doesn’t seem to be that much going around these days.
Basically this video is summing up my thoughts and feelings
