GLASGOW Fridays

Mel (ofthc Tunnel) and the infamous Steven Sleepman on PR. play rap. ltalo house. techno and upfront dance music in well-trendy atmosphere. Meanwhile in the smaller room a more laid-back (but not soul) atmosphere prevails. I Club Sanctuary at Reds. Strathclyde University. 9pm-2am. £1 .50 (£1 ). House. garage and a bit ofsoul. I Crash at the Cotton Club. 11pm—3.30am. £3 (£2 with matric card). After a highly successful birthday party and Radio One‘s accolade as ‘the best Friday night out in Britain'.

TURNTABLE
This issue Jlm Downie who DJs at ZFD at Fury Murry’s on Mondays and Greed at The Maylair on Thursdays chooses live tracks, without even mentioning Nirvana once, assured to put a smile on his lace any day of the week.
1. The Beatles: She Said She Said. John Lennon teaches the world how to write a classic pop song and retain all the style and quirkiness missing from current efforts.
2. The Cranes: Tomorrow’s Tears. Sod the ethereal and haunting tags, this is just plain SCAREY.
3. Mercury Rev: Carwash Hair. It may be Dean Wareham oi Galaxy 500’s guitar that sets this appart lrom its
peers. Whatever, a very appealing song.
4. Sonic Youth: Rowche Rumble. Typically wonderfully grungy cover oi an early Fall song.
5. KLF: Chill Out. Really an album, but for me a long song best suited to bedtime and a mug of scalding cocoa.
