Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

On this day in 1997, "I'm Afraid Of Americans" by #DavidBowie was released as a single with six remixes including versions with #IceCube, #Photek and #TrentReznor of #NineInchNails - who also appeared in the official music video.

A meme from the video game Team Fortress in which one character is in shadow saying "I fear no man... But that thing (referring to a second character)... It scares me". Character one is Bowie, character two is Reznor, both of them taken from the music video for "I'm Afraid of Americans"

Talking of 80s visions of dystopia, I'm passing home thru Gateshead metro station. Could be any villainous corporate lair.

Host and headline act Necro Noise deftly weaves electro bangers with a vibe of 80s schlock horror and cyberpunk origins. TechNoir on Halloween 1985.

Can... Can you vote for Mr Nibbles?

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Huge postpunk vibes from Cherry Knowle, who cover The Fall right out the gate. Jangling guitars, merciless machine backing and heartfelt, howled vocals. Punk morals vividly on show. www.instagram.com/cherry_knowle

You could try and steer him with strategic requests, but I think the crowd comes first and they're primarily alt/goth/80s in Newcastle. This night I'm at now might be more your thing! Much more electro

No way, I've heard from people online easily ten years older than you and still going strong. See ya on the dancefloor!

You've been to Shinji's nights before so you know he's a savvy DJ with very broad tastes. Like in this thread he tries to bridge old and new, trad and bleep, but crowds being what they are I'd say he's at least sixty-forty playing old school over new tech.

Two nights out back to back, I'm just torturing myself at this point. But great to have so many alt events on!

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black).

be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends.

life is for the living. do it scared.
