craigy2: How's Your Scene?

eternium 10.13.10	The closest good scene to me is in Athens, GA, which is very vibrant and where the University of Georgia is, which is an alright school. If I were you, I'd try New York or California.
craigy2 10.13.10	haha where's good in canada? i can actually go there (ottawa, guelph, vancouver and london) but im not sure i want to. convince me.
BigTuna 10.13.10	if you're into really any type of music I'd say head to the northwest - places like Northern Cali, Portland, and Seattle. Portland and Seattle both have HUGE music scenes.
deathofasalesman 10.13.10	Canadians have free health care and a low crime rate. Americans have a surplus of bums and douches. I'm proud to be a Californian.
eternium 10.13.10	Cause California is a completely different country. Oh, and you better be voting for prop 19.
Dryden 10.13.10	YEAH GUYS
xfearbefore 10.13.10	Canada sucks in terms of sheer amount of groups and musical diversity, sure you've got great cities like Montreal but then you've got hundreds and hundreds of miles of nothing. In New England, where I'm located, the primary musical focus is hardcore/metal/punk and to a lesser extent hip-hop. Here in Rhode Island we've got a pretty good scene, some great local ska bands around Newport, some excellent death metal and post-hardcore groups in Providence as well as a small but thriving punk scene led by the legendary anarcho band Dropdead who've basically made up the scene in Prov. Places to check out in Prov would be Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel and The Hell Room (awesome venue for metal/punk). Also in Pawtucket this place The Met just re-opened and have been booking shitloads of major and indie acts, lots of great groups and artists coming through there. Also, Boston. Best damn metal/punk town in the US.
deathofasalesman 10.13.10	"Cause California is a completely different country. Oh, and you better be voting for prop 19." Hell yeah it is. And I can't vote.
craigy2 10.13.10	Wow, thanks, man, very useful. I can go to Providence in New England, am yet to check their website out. Sounds like a cool place though. Cheers
BigTuna 10.13.10	Are there any schools near Portland you could go to? Because seriously almost every single tour makes a stop there, and Seattle/Northern Cali are close by. Seattle's has pretty much every scene imaginable, and Portland is heavy on the indie/electronic/ambient artists.
craigy2 10.13.10	Reed College, but apparently it has a very, very high level of achievement and without putting myself down too much I don't know if that's right for me. I could go to the Uni of Oregon in Eugene...some girl was raving about there earlier
BigTuna 10.13.10	yeah I've heard good things about the University of Oregon...don't know how its history program is though. I'm actually from Michigan, where we have an okay music scene (Detroit for a ton of hip-hop obviously, Chicago close by, some punk/hardcore in Grand Rapids), but I have a couple friends in Portland and am constantly jealous of all the shows they get to see.
craigy2 10.13.10	I'm actually gutted I can't go anywhere near Chicago (Bears' fan) I have heard great things about its music scene. I'm researching all the history programs as we speak - although I'm not limited to History I could do something really abstract as long as it is still 'academic' i.e. no Introduction to Scuba Diving unfortunately. I shit you not, the scumbags down the road from us at Essex can take a module in 'David Beckham Studies'
eternium 10.13.10	I bet the Boston area scene is badass.
tapitforever 10.13.10	dont come to the university of florida
patroneyes 10.13.10	philly scene pretty much slays
cvlts 10.13.10	seattle scene. served.
SeaAnemone 10.13.10	Maths are awesome... so area few others from your area. I'm in Baltimore, music scene here is nice I guess, especially if you're into quality post-hardcore. The big advantage of Baltimore though is that it has its own quality stuff, but Philly and DC are also in very close vicinity, makes for an awesome trifecta.
TheBloodTypo 10.13.10	Boston has some good schools, and damn near every band plays up there. I have some friends going to Northeastern University there.
patroneyes 10.13.10	PHILLY PHILLY PHILLY PHILLY
bungy 10.13.10	seattle scene. served.
craigy2 11.13.10	1) Uni of Massachussetts 2) Uni of Oregon 3) Temple (Philadelphia) 4) San Francisco State Uni 5) Goucher College (Baltimore) were my five choices in the end, thank you very much, guys!
craigy2 11.25.10	I'm going to San Francisco! I found out yesterday and am stupidly excited. Thanks for all the input here and happy turkey day!
climactic 11.25.10	north jersey aka shit lots of scene kids/bands and shitty local acts. my town is pretty good though, lots of good punk/ska stuff. some bands from here are The Number 12 Looks Like You Streetlight Manifesto Titus Andronicus Senses Fail Symphony X Misfits
Thane 11.25.10	Come to Norway, we have shitty young Black Metal bands, terrible pop-groups and guys trying to be all mathy. That is all.
