Moooooo! Well ....I wouldn't be so harsh myself Rob. I mean, even despite the fact that I agree what you're saying raises an important point, isn't it better for UR in some form to be playing somewhere, than nowhere at all?
You can be sure that lots of possibilities were discussed before what actually happened occurred, and similar discussions are ongoing, take it from me. There are lots of variables to consider and it really isn't so cut and dried (these days?) as to where a worthwhile bunch a people can get a worthwhile gig at a particular space in time ... tomorrow it might well be the 'so-called underground' (Plus don't forget the Outlet thing!) -----Original Message----- From: Robert Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 July 2006 15:27 To: Martin Dust; 313 Detroit Subject: RE: (313) did anyone go to... Well it's all very well huffing and puffing about being underground, but it's a little rich when they refuse to play for underground promoters in London and instead play at a soulless cattlemarket that's the clubbing equivalent of Sony. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Dust [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 July 2006 12:57 To: 313 Detroit Subject: Re: (313) did anyone go to...
