Such constructive criticism...

Then what would you consider "good music" to be? I'm curious. It really is all a matter of opinion, you could say "music that I like" instead of good music, because to some people music you consider good is an assualt on the ears, whilst on the other hand you might hate someone else's music taste.

I'm rambling.

My point is, it's a matter of taste. I happen to think the music played in moshulu is wide and varied, depending on the night.

Take flying circus for example, it really is anything goes. Where else will you hear Counting Crows, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Britney Spears, System of a Down, Europe, OutKast, Gina G, The Killers, Meatloaf and Ghostbusters played in sequence? If that's not varied I'm not entirely sure what is...

On fridays yes the music in the main room is heavier, but if you go to the back room it's quite the opposite. Hats off to that man who introduced me to Apocalyptica by playing their version of Metallica's Fade to Black, the ultimate chillout.

I've not been to moshulu for a long, long time... i used to go for about a year after the palace closed *sob*, but now I always end up in Exodus... Sometimes upstairs at o'neills is good, but like everyone ahs said, sometimes it's a bit of a nightmare getting served at the bar...

I've never been to Moshulu, i usually go to Exodus instead cos i only go into town on a saturday night really and i don't fancy the sound of "air guitar". There are a lot of annoying people in exodus but big Dave plays some good songs (he's pretty good with requests) and i don't find the bar that much of a problem either. I need to get in earlier for the better songs though. And there are too many Razorlights fans and older indie fans (when indie meant wearing a shit sunhat) who wanna hear Oasis, the Mondays and Stone Roses.

i used to love moshulu but it's getting to be a bit boring now, since i only go on friday nights, it gets a bit repetitive...
as for exodus, just no!

Every time I've been to Moshulu, it's been full of people that dress like they're sixteen years old, i.e like their favourite chart bands of the moment, and it annoys me everytime. These people are the same types that get drunk and are over apologetic towards you if you bump into them. The common phrase is "sorry man" or "sorry dude" followed by a pat on the back. It's good meeting new people when you're out, but when these types start talking to you, they're only interested in mentioning how much they’ve drank and how many local rock stars they know, or how much ‘crazy shit’ they’ve done. They will also ask you questions that they're obviously not interested in hearing about like, "so what're you studying man?" or "so where'd you work dude", they’ll then reply with “oh right, cool man”. They're all cocky aswell. From past experience (I don't speak to them now) if you get onto the topic of music and you tell them you don't like their favourite chart band of the moment, who they're trying desperately to copy but will abandon when they go out of season, they generally come to the conclusion that, either you don't know shit about music, or that you've got shit taste in music. They’ll tell you “ohhh it’s all good man”. Everytime, for the rest of the night, when you walk past one of these morons, they’ll shout out some stupid comment at you, or give some stupid hand salute, or try and shake your hand, in the hope that you think they’re cool, or other people are watching.

Then there are the snobs who look down at people who dress in comfortable clothing that doesn't stand out. Tends to be people that get called 'goths' by ignoramuses, some would call themselves ‘goths’ as they own one album by their 'favourite' band The Cure (Disintegration), wear black nail varnish, black eye liner and black clothing. Some of them want to be perceived as miserable, by sitting by themselves, drinking in a corner, deliberately trying to look miserable. Some of them want to appear weird, or zany by making non-sensical comments, some even try to come across as pretentious, without fail.

Infact, there’s too many groups to mention. Some of the bar staff need to learn some manners aswell. They like to pretend they’re working in The Cathouse in Glasgow.

I remember a girl with metal attached to her face, a tartan skirt, and a half shaved head gave me a dirty look once because I was smiling.

Exodus is probably just as bad, but the drink’s a lot cheaper and my friends go there, but Rob is not my friend.

That was entertaining.

Moshulu, Moshulu, Moshulu.

I'm surprised you rememeber your nights in Exodus, even when you walk upstairs.

We had a bottle bar next to the DJ booth for a while, but it didn't get used much for practical reasons.

Personally I'd prefer it if the club was a wee bit bigger, but it's still a very special place.

Oh, and the barstaff are wonderful, so nyer to everyone who said they weren't.
