Im sat here 00.02 sat night mrs out on works do, and im just playing on PC and thinkin and listening to tunes and i put on Asmo Dam the dance and it brought everything back not just the memory but the feeling the rush and just the euphoria of them days, the gone days that cant be relived and thats a twat cause if anything I want those days back. I remember going to me cousins in me mum car I was about 14 and I remember FF a tape to the part where asmo came on and getting well into the tune getting me mum to listen to it and although she liked the tune she didnt feel the music, she could see the reason why i loved it so much and looking back and listening to it now it wasnt just the music that made old school what it was, it was the people the times the vibe and that lives on in all of the true old school kids, that vibe will never leave any of us, we'll all hear a tune one day when were older and we'll all smirk and memories will come back to us about those days that cannot be relived and thats what keeps it ticking on, but clinching onto memories or the past is supposed to be bad and were supposed to move on cause were supposed to move with the times and shit. Well ive always thought of myself as an exceptopn to the rule and im happy stuck in 1991 cause thats where my heart is and thats where im at my peak and thats where the rush of my life happened and memories of that era are there never to be relived and most certianly never to be forgoten.

Too put thing blunt my life has turned out nothing like i ever expected it would yet i never had any expectations, and theres only 1 thing in my life that im certian of and thats my love for my son and the music that i grew up with

Im in shock.........cam has a serious side!

I know what you mean fella, cos Ive been pondering this same thing lately. I cant say I was a proper oldskool raver, you know, hearing a party on the grapevine and meeting at petrol stations, or even going to many clubs before 1994 - although I had been into the hiphop/dance music since about 1987, cos I was too young.

I dont have memories of hazy 1991/2 raves, although I sometimes wish I did, but other things that happen in life still make good memories, and the simple way life was back then is always going to be looked back on fondly, and little things like going to EasternBloc, Manchester Underground in the Corn Exchange in 1991/2 (on the x43 buss for 2 quid) which was a huge adventure and exciting each time, skateboarding BBC Curbs at manchester, hanging in town with my older brother and his mates on long summer days listening to tunes, skateboarding, with our heads into the special thing dance music was back in 1991/92. It was like belonging to a special club to enlightened individuals.

I cant express how much dance music means to me, its like I was born for it or something! lol. Its deep rooted, and thats without being in the clubs/raves in the heyday. Its suprising how without having the memories of this which makes up so much of the scene, the music still means so much and my brain is connected on all sockets direct to the core.

Boy am I glad I ant into goth, thrash, punk or pop! lol.

The funny thing with memories though is it gets a sort of haze, not really specific, but a rememberance of an era with often names and faces from the past you cant quite recall anymore...I wish I had a camcorder back then! lol.
Infact, Im thinking of getting a digi-camcorder in the sales!




Cam > lol.


See ya,
