I was joking, but getting bored of a record is a function of the record as well as frequency, surely? Disliking something just because lots of people like it and will dance to it every week (I'm assuming it would be taken off rotation if it was a floor-clearer) would be the essense of indie. Not that I'm actually accusing you of this.

No, it wouldn't. Any more than getting fed up of the Glasshouse Stores if you always ended up going there would be 'indie'. Dancing to pop is a social context as well as a music one.

Bearing in mind that I've never understood the London disdain for picking a pub and sticking to it...

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Erm because environment can impact interaction in interesting and unpredictable ways?!

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

But so can lots of things! I never had a dull night in Dublin, where 75% of the time we would end up in the Lord Edward (paucity of options also a factor, I suppose), and I can't think of any time off the top of my head where which pub we were in had much of an effect on enjoyment in London.

Which is all a tangent anyway.

Why would anyone in their right mind want to drink in the same pub all the time when there are hundreds of them out there?

that's not active/conscious disdain tho, it's just that everybody has their 'needs'. i agree tho in that it is infuriating when a pub is suggested but then one or two others crop up following that, with no real good reason.
