Dreamtime

Finally made it to Cabaret Nocturne last night and had a great time. It seems to be the mirror image of most other clubs i've been to over the years - industrial and Mansony stuff to listen to early on then gothy stuff later just as you get restless and want to dance. Even the industrial wasn't too doofy, and i could quite enjoy that once i get over the momentary sense of panic that each bleepy beat is setting the tone for the rest of the night. The company was excellent too, a little loud to talk, but you get that. It's nice to be reluctant to leave a club because i'm having such a good time, instead of hanging around not wanting to leave on a down note and hoping it's going to get better.

Hell, i'm in such a good mood today i'm even enjoying listening to some industrial music at the moment (after taking a liking to what was playing in the background at the Goth Garage Sale today), which is much better than the times i used to listen to it because it was the most suitable soundtrack for the foul mood i would be in after having it shoved down my throat for a night.

If only it were on a Saturday night, it'd be perfect.

You've nailed it. Fantastic.:)

Nocturne is good, isn't it? I'm so happy there's a bit of a backlash happening against the wave of EBM that threatens to engulf the scene. Glad you had a good night; it was nice to see you there - and your hair rocks.:)

Cabaret Nocturne is the new (ish) club on at Dream on Fridays. The music's not bad (less industrial than most places) and the atmosphere's pretty good, as far as i can tell from the one visit at least. i'm hoping to go there as often as i can before it goes the way of all things and becomes another EBM dance party.

i found out about that garage sale on acg and it was also mentioned on the Melbournegoths list on LiveJournal (worth joining if you're not already - Cabaret Nocturne is advertised relentlessly there too). They had a bit of clothing, many brand new t-shirts (but all in XL sizes which i never end up wearing) and a kazillion CDs (which i managed to stop myself buying, though i did stare at them for about 20 minutes out of habit) (i probably would have broken my 'enough with the CDs already' rule, but only for a handful of bands which they didn't have). We ended up just getting a few t-shirts and some dog collars and nick-nacks, but managed to spend about $50 anyway.
