From the Dug Out and dreads to DMZ and dubstep: 10 classic club nights

From www.guardian.co.uk at 09/12/11 03:42 PM. 0 comments.

A Radio 1Xtra series is documenting the history of classic club nights. Its maker, Emma Warren, lists the 10 most important institutions of the last 25 years

Throughout history there have always been examples of the creative genius that can develop when interesting people come together â€' think of Bletchley Park in the second world war, for instance, or the Bloomsbury Group. Or of an outsized rave in Milton Keynes called Sidewinder that unwittingly became a cradle for the nascent grime scene.

Over the last three decades, the foundations for Britain's internationally renowned club culture were built in a handful of sweaty basements, spawning endless new genres. Without these specialist club nights, record stores and pirate radio stations, we would never have had 1992's comedy rave anthem The Bouncer, MCs wouldn't be winning Brit and Mercury prizes and no one would have ever heard of dubstep (so big in the US that Korn claim to have started it).

Here are 10 club nights that changed everything.

1. Wild Bunch at The Dug Out, Bristol

DJ Milo, Nellee Hooper and Daddy G started playing hip-hop, electro and old-school funk at warehouse jams and house parties in Bristol in the mid-80s before moving to The Dug Out. Wild Bunch parties were so good, they were accused of killing the local live music scene, and their bassbins were so powerful you could hear their carnival sets from the other side of town. Like many classic clubs, it attracted a...

Open thread: what are your least favourite lyrics?

From www.guardian.co.uk at 20/10/11 01:47 PM. 0 comments.

Tell us which lines make you cringe the most

Earlier today we asked you, via the @guardianmusic Twitter feed, to suggest songs with notably bad lyrics. Here's a few of the responses we received:

@JLucas86

"baby baby baby baby baby, baby baby baby baby baby, baby baby baby baby baby, baby baby baby baby baby" Ashanti â€' Baby.

@fuzzcaminski

David Guetta/Akon's 'Damn Girl! Damn, you's a sexy bitch, sexy bitch! Damn, you's a sexy bitch!' Deep, powerful, inspiring!

@HIPHOPMANNEQUIN

"Thank God it's them, instead of you" â€' Band Aid song. Quite heartless when you think about it.

@20thcenturymarc

Robbie Williams' "I look like Kiss but without the make up" (good) and "that's a good line so take it to the bridge" (bad).

@petefrasermusic

"You can be the DJ, I can be the dancefloor, you can get up on me" is the weirdest metaphor for sex EVER.

@benkenyon

"I know you're really busy and I know you got plans, but are u really too busy for a sun tan?" Hang ya head, Dizzee.

@daninfrance

Razorlight's "She asked me my name, so I told her what it was". Good stuff that, Jonny.

@kylelonsdale

"I was looking for a job and then I found a job" has never struck me as Morrissey's finest moment.

@TribalFighters

Once saw an ex-Corrie actor launching his folk career. Sample lyric: "I'm making a correction, I'm losing my erection."

@Tara_Majumdar

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?"...
