Martin,
I don't think Alan was dissing us Brits to be honest - more Muzik magazine
if anything, which is a load of toss these days. I reckon his post should've
been read with a bit more humour.
It's a bit lame to be tracing the demise of UK clubland back to the USA by
way of capitalism too.
The real divide is good / bad music as opposed to underground / overground.
Country and Western could be seen to have a pretty 'underground' following
over here (me and mates anyway) ;-)

The only thing they like in London is cheese trance, that is, if you
believe what you read in Muzik.

With all respect Alan, dont tar everyone with the same brush. the only thing
americans like is puffy and garth brooks, if you believe what you read in
billboard.
promoting sterotypes dismisses the creative minority.
i've always given the US the benifit of the doubt. despite the vast global
commercial outpourings. So uk clubland has gone commercial? Who's the
original capitalists? U_S_A?
the real divide is under/overground...nations are irrelevant.
And where would detroit be with out the original support and sales from the
UK?
but i would agree Muzik is in a state at the moment. At least Jockey Slut
keep things in perspective.
