THE NORTHERN SCENE USED TO BE A HARD PLAC3E TO CUT YOUR TEETH,NOW EVERYONE HAS A VIEW ,A HUGE COLLECTION,GREAT DJ ETC,I AM NOT ONE TO DENY ANYONE THEIR VIEW BUT I DO GET SICK OF READING THE CONSTANT SHITE ON HERE. THEIR SEEMS SUCH A LACK OF EMPHASIS ON THE MUSIC AND A 80% PERCENT EMPHASIS ON WHOS WHO,VENUES,DJS,FADS ETC. I COME ON HERE SINCRERLY BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WITH MASSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF BLACK AMERICAN SOUL MUSIC [NOT NORTHERN SOUL MUSIC,WHATEVER THAT MAYBE?]I FEEL HUMBLE SOMETIMES WHEN I READ STUFF AND LISTEN TO THE CONSTANT STREAM OF NEW STUFF TO MY EARS VIA THE VARIOUS THREADS ON THE MEDIA SECTION FROM GOOD PEOPLE WHO JUST LOVE BLACK MUSIC IN WHATEVER FORM. AS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE ON THE SCENE I DONT THINK THEIR VIEW IS LESS VALID DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEIR HAVE NOT PAID THEIR DUES ,I WELCOME YOUNG PEOPLE AS LONG AS THEIR STAY AWAY FROM ME[i AM VERY INTORLENT MOST OF THE TIME ANYWAY] IN A CERTAIN KIND OF WAY THIER CAN SEE THE SCENE IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT AND THAT CAN BE REFRESHING ALBELT A TAD ANNOYING SOMETIMES. AS I GET OLDER I MOVE MORE AWAY FROM THIS SCENE DUE TO THE FRACTIONS,ELITISM,BULLSHIT,AND THE CONSTANT NEED FOR THE NEXT BIG RECORD [F--K ME WHEN ARE SOME OF YOU GONNA WAKE UP TOTHE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES BLACK MUSIC CAN OFFER,INSTEAD OF SPLASHING OUT ON BIGGER RECORDS MOST OF WHICH HAVE HAD THE ARSE SPUN OUT OF THEM FIRST TIME ROUND ANYWAY. BAZ A SEE YOU ALL AT PETE LAWSONS MEMORIAL [GOOD THREAD JOAN]

THE DEEP AND SWEET THREAD IMHO IS THE BEST THREAD ON THE SITE,MINDBLOWING FLIPSIDES,UNKNOWNS,SWEET SOUL FROM THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES,CHECK IT OUT.DEEP SOUL IN ABUNDANCE ID RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. BAZ A
