    Now, on the subject of obscure 90's stuff, any one else fond of a spot of GbV?

    shame, there's some right cycling to be had round here :)

    All them bigs hills :wink: Actually Hull Thursday Club met just outside of Cottingham where I was staying. I've ridden around Market Weighton/Pocklington before, really nice round there.

    Ferens or The Lawns?

    I was in Downs Hall at the Lawns for my first two years.

    The lawns. I got shoved in a fucking cupboard in one of the nurses bungalows, which did have it's benefits 8) Only problem was I'd walk around the kitchen in my boxers eating cereal and find people on the path looking at me funny. I kept forgetting the bungalows were a good few feet lower haha. However my cousin got a room in Ferens and it was fucking massive and the building was really nice. One of my main gripes was the fact I was sometimes bussing it into Uni 4-5 times a day due to a crap time table, the gym and the swimming pool being down near the Uni, and the fact Cottingham was pretty quiet on a night. There was some right wankers about too. I remember getting offered out by a few lads from London after telling them I was from Boro (apparently Boro is pretty rough. I said it wasn't so bad...)

    Just don't think I wanted to be there at the time to be honest, back at Uni now doing Applied Sports Science, so that's going hand in hand with my cycling so it keeps it interesting for me (doing quite well too!). I knew I probably should cut my losses and go home when the nurses in my flat begged me to come on a night out with them, and I simply replied that "I was going to sit in my room and listen to The Jam" instead.

    Then again at the time every song on Setting Sons pretty much summed up how I was feeling at the time. Still love that album.

    Malkmus' first album was passable, but the latest one was crap. Have tickets to see Pavement in May in London - can't wait. One of the few bands I never got to see 'first time round'. If I had my way and could pop back to the 90s and go to see three bands I missed it would be:

    - Cracker
    - My Bloody Valentine
    - Tindersticks (first album only)

    Saw MBV in 1990 - but who the hell are Cracker? :?: I missed them entirely.

    I think the building started shaking on its foundations. It was loud.

    Prior to that, the next loudest thing I'd hear was Fear Satan, on the Young Team tour, at the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh.

    They've got louder. Saw them in Manchester in Dec 2008, couldn't hear properly for 36 hours. I think it was Fear Satan did the damage there too!

    Academy 1, touring the Hawk is Howling? I was at that too - it was a cracking gig.

    That was the one! I got "shhhhhh"'d at by some beardy studes about 10 years younger than me for talking during the quiet bits while they were trying to get stoned.. RAWK!
