Advantages: Cheap, fun, laid back, friendly. Disadvantages: Loud, moshing may result in injury
Despite going out to all the posh bars and clubs in London my favourite place to go out is The Furnace in Swindon. It's the only 'alternative' club in Swindon. It plays a wide selection of rock, indie, emo, metal, pop, grunge, ska and punk music.
They have DJ nights which are over 18's only and on band nights 14+ year olds are allowed in until 10:30 pm when the DJ starts up again. I've been going to Furnace since I was at college and I've always had really fun nights.
Bands: They have some pretty good bands playing live. Coming up they have bands such as Napalm Death and Captain Everything playing. Band nights have a great atmosphere, it tends to be really busy and loud but also really, really fun. Recently Hell is For Heroes, Spunge and The Subways have played.
Moshing: I haven't actually moshed at Furnace for a while but it ...
Advantages: Eccentric rock played in a grandstanding style; Eleanor's voice Disadvantages: A highly mixed bag of tricks, the lyrics are as strange as ever
Widow City marks the return of Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger, the duo whom The White Stripes could have been - had they been just that bit more adventurous. The FieryFurnaces, as they are gloriously known, make garage rock in the same mould of the Stripes. Yet after their first album they began moving out and expanding their musical vision. Their subsequent album Blueberry Boat took the idea of short sharp songs centred around grizzly guitar and cut it up with scissors, before sticking the pieces into a blender and mixing the whole thing up with some keyboards and synths, before taking out the resulting gooey whatever and putting it on record. And yes, that truly is the most drawn-out metaphor I've written this year - hurrah! That album had songs which split up into shorter songs, and rambled around aimlessly before reforming into ...
Advantages: A good tasty bitter. Not too strong. Disadvantages: Only available as a guest ale where I live.
Mmmm?I just tried a really nice beer. It relaxed me after a rotten day at work and made me remember that the world isn?t quite as bad as I thought it was. This beer isn?t especially strong, but it managed to take the weight of the world from my shoulders! What is this miraculous beverage?.... Adnams Bitter!
~~~WHAT IS A BITTER?
A bitter is a brew made from a lot of hops, giving it a bitter flavour! Bitters are generally reddish amber to copper in colour and aren?t too fizzy; they aren?t carbonated too much in the brewing process. They are usually quite dry and are one of the most popular styles of beer drunk in British pubs. There are lots of different brands of Bitter; they vary considerably in quality, taste and texture, but that was a general guide to recognising them?.the other big give away is that they are often called ...

Album Notes
The restless and endlessly inventive brother/sister outfit the Fiery Furnaces proved astoundingly prolific (two EPs and three full-length releases) in their first three years, and along the way received both critical accolades (for 2004's BLUEBERRY BOAT, in particular) and critical drubbings (for the 2005 extended family affair REHEARSING MY CHOIR, in particular). The band's fourth full-length, 2006's BITTER TEA, might be the album to unite the warring factions, however, as it's arguably the most focused and fruitful realization of the Fiery Furnaces' unique aesthetic. Combining the left-field, visionary shape-shifting of BLUEBERRY BOAT with the pop smarts of '05's THE FIERY FURNACES EP, BITTER TEA is a colorful, careening sonic journey that fascinates and unsettles. The music touches on back-to-childhood whimsy, musical theater sing-alongs, gnarled sonic freak-outs, and melodies that embed themselves for the long term. Like each of the band's albums, BITTER TEA takes time to absorb, but repeated listens confirm the general suspicion that the Fiery Furnaces are one of the most consistently creative and challenging bands of the 2000s.
