I don't get that edgy pre-club feeling anymore, about to go see Prins Thomas, maybe the fact i have no pre-conception of what he'll play makes it harder to be excited, maybe the fact my brain no longer anticipates mdma is also a factor. Who knows, who cares, we'll keep going through the rituals until we know its really over I do remember that bus journey all right, we even shared it a few times, with a sneaky can or two on the way!, just enough so you don’t need to take a piss for 40 mins or so.

I agree with what you're saying - I actually have fond memories of getting the 67 bus into town on a Friday or Saturday night. Maybe it was just the joy of moving further and further away from Celbridge! Really good post.

Was just listening to one of them - 'Spheere' by Marc Marzenit. Has such an intensly powerful energy about it. Nice artwork too http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=958938 I have many many records that have a kind transcendental role similar to the ones you talk about here.

I had a similar tingle inducing music/time/location fusion moment this week whilst walking to work on a beautiful spring morning listening to 'Halfway Home' from the new TV On The Radio album, Dear Science. I find it incredibly difficult to articulate these moments of cellular level joy, particularly as the tend to invariably incur whilst I am plugged into my headphones amidst a snarl of bodies on public transport. There's something deliciously liberating about having these intense moments of aural connection whilst locked in a moving box full of strangers. It can almost make you feel like you are somehow removed and above the 'lab rat on a conveyor belt' feeling of the daily commute to work.

I love the ritual of listening to music before going out. I often get really super nervous before I head out, edgy, like I'm about to make a speech or something.

Sometimes this completely transcends the actual night and lately I've found myself getting itchy feet half-way through to go home and play my own! I'm definitely getting older....
