nyc nightlife in nov 1998 10 years ago:

nov 3 1998 downtime hosted a night of local house takent incl dave hollands, IQ, astro glide, odyssey & no skills. Downtime is now called Rebel.

nov 5 1998 a perfecto night at irving plaza with paul oakenfold headlining & esthero opening. Oakey rocked in 1998 but he only hits nyc about once/year in 2008 :(

nov 6 1998 carl cox was at twilo with laurebt garnier! stayed til 6 am for coxy ***3/4 of 5 stars
I still listen to coxy every week [wmc at space 2001 today!] but he only plays pacha once/year ... the dj/nightlife scene has changed so much from 1998 ....

nov 14 1998 tiswas at don hills with bender headlining here are hi-lites of nick marc's set: mondays hallelujah, song 2, sympathy for the devil, charlies opportunities, loaded, help, she bangs the drums, there she goes, i cant explain, under my thumb, girlfriend in a coma, mersey paradise, supersonic, panic, trash, miss you, girls & boys & live forever. ***1/2 of 5 stars . Tiswas was great in 1998 but I think Sorted at Barbary is a lot more happening , based on last Friday night!

nov 21 1998 tiswas with smittys, jesse dorsey & nerve generation playing. nick marc played these brit hits: metal mickey, green onions, age of consent, shiela take a bow, sex machine, stuck in the middle with you, build me up buttercup, bigmouth, the only 1 i know, my gebneration, monkees theme, substitute, 19th nervous breakdown, 1 way or another, wake up boo, and these boots are made for walking. Ive gone to tiswas a couple of times in 2008 but there was nothing much going on ....

nov 25 1998 a thanksgiving eve dance event at hammerstein, underworld with carl cox opening up. 2 survivors of 1998's DJ/electronic culture, for sure !

nov 28 1998 tiswas with hipslide and altra playing. heres nick marc's setlist: this charming man, animal nitrate, charlies white shirt, theres no other way, chems leave home, satisfaction, stutter, elephant stone, miss you, bang a gong, venus, parklife, babies, night train, mbv even when you sleep, town called malice, rapture, new generation, only love can break your heart, & fools gold 1994. *** of 5 stars . last friday at Sorted I most enjoyed 'happy hour' and interpol's 'slow hands.'

and in the news:
Nov 7 1998, Kate Moss was admitted to the Priory clinic in England for Alcohol, Cocaine & sex addictions. Doesnt matter, kate was great in 1998 and a decade later she's the greatest model of all time. Kate 4-Ever !!!!!
* the Dow Jones IA rocketed to an all time record of 9,374 the wweek of Nov 17 1998. how times have changed, eh?
