msoprano Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 aight peeps i hate to admit but clubbing in nyc has become terrible....with the close of twilo, the tunnel and limelight clubbing for the music has become horrible....yes i admit when i knew shit about music and when i liked to pop bombs exit was the place to be...but now that im an educated music lover exit is the worst place to be.....i like vinyl but its to small for my tastes and like ive said earlier i cant even have a drink in there if i wanted....i like clubbing on a large scale and seeing the dancefloor filled to capicity is what its all about.....now roxy is supposed to get the phazon but who the hell knows in this indusrty...if they do i hope they really put that space to use and start bringing in the likings of dj's like carl cox, marco v, pvd just to name a few......ive been clubbing for about 4 years now and this is by far the worst it has ever been,....there are no more choices and every club sounds the same with the same music being playedd.....waaaaaack if you ask me....sorry but this is how i feel.....

Xpander Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I really have to disagree with you there, Mike. To tell you the truth, I consistently have dilemmas concerning which parties to go to and which THREE parties of the other parties on the same nights I gotta miss... It's all about where're yer lookin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycmuzik Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I dont have any complaints about Vinyl. Granted it might get packed sometimes but the music cant be beat. Last month at Howells was perfect for anyone that was there. Also Shelter is bringing in alot of good dj's. IMO, I think the "scene" is moving away from these superclubs and more towards the smaller places..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aphelion Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 "History tends to repeat itself. Clubs close clubs open, people complain. A new club opens then becomes the in club and gets too packed and prices go up, people complain. A club closes for whatever reason, people complain.

Although it seems like quality has gone down, there's always something for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loch Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 humor me and just play along. it sounds trite and i'm in one ofmy moods, so here goes.there are much to complain about, least of all, the clubbingselection in ANY city, from ANY era.in the grand scheme of things, clubbing is just to pass the time,to hang with your friends, to let loose, to LOSE yourself in themusic, to feel free and uninhibited by the other demands and constraints of your daily life, to feel the bass that beats insynchronicity with the organ that's called your heart, to hear themelody that lifts your whole being into a feeling of floatytranscendence (i won't even mention to get cracked out, to getwild and crazy, to hook up with the opposite sex)...it can befor ANY of the reasons stated, but the point here is that it'sall a momentary escape. we all have our fair share and are allguilty of taking part in that, myself included, whether it isindulging in music or indulging in a $200 bottle of wine ormaterialistic possessions.point here is that a complaint about anything indulging or the lack of flavor of a particular "indulgence" bears no merit.aren't we so lucky to be able to complain about the luxuries inlife.(of course, i'm writing this as i'm drinking my $1,500 bottle ofLouis xii cognac in my $500 Tiffany glass sitting on my $3,000,leather chair on a $15,000 persian rug in a $4,500/mo soho loft,complaining about the fact that i can't afford the $2,000 bottle ofcognac, $800 glass...)i realize you're just shooting the breeze with that statement, andwhile i empathize with that statement, in the grand scheme ofthings....well, you know how the saying goes.just shooting the breeze back at'cha. signed,having-a-self-depravation-moment-but-pretty-soon-will-hypocritically-go-out-and-bitch-about-everything-else-just-like-the-next-guy.

cintron Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 NYC isn't losing clubs. NYC is losing VIBE.Vinyl has it but it's nowhere near what it was and it's fading fast.I'm sure other places have it as well but people dont remember Twilo for the poofy couches, nicely built bars and VIP area.We need that feeling back in NYC. It's becoming stagnant.We need a new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebby Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Im sorry Mike, but cant you just be happy with what we have.... all most of the people on this board do is bitch b/c they are professional clubbers or experts of music... jeez... just enjoy it or dont go to clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoozi8 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Mike maybe it's because YOU NEVER GO OUT TO HEAR IT you have to go experience new music and different venues instead of just hitting Roxy friday night with the same old beat music.....

cesarleo Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 I can understand Msoprano's perspective and what he means. However, this city still has some of the best DJ's the world has to offer.....hopefully soon we'll see something fresh on the scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
