Afflecks

I did not realize they were.

But now I think of the TingTings, imagine them like shopping at Affleck's Palace in Manchester, you know, that big secondhand store.

Oh, the TingTings were really an embarrassing like new rave.

I know it's not that, that wasn't their style of music, but that just makes me think of the term new rave and like, glasses with though like lenses in and like remember that time oh wait i'm looking at the star bar and it says top of star bar occasional casual or secondary performances and segments were filmed directly from or themed around the star bar setup such as boy band a1's performance of caught in the middle in early 2002

My heart is in danger

dangerFirst heard that one on the cassette I got from, uh, Rod Chard and Dave Withers back in the day when they had the store in Afflecks Palace over in Manchester.

Stranger.

That's Alda Ray, My Heart Is in Danger.

You couldn't keep me out.

Like Affleck's Palace-

Yeah

... getting those leather jackets.

Not, not, it's completely different building use.

It reminded me loads of if Affleck's Palace people lived in Affleck's Palace.

[laughs]

If anyone doesn't know-

Look-

... what Affleck's Palace is, it's a place-

I was gonna say

...

It's on this Canal Saint-Martin.

And it's basically this, how to describe it? If you've ever been to Affleck's Palace in Manchester, it's kind of like that.

It's this multi-story kind of... subtropical bohemian space where you have artists, you have little thrift shops, cocktail bars, which 14 year old won't be able to enjoy, but good brunch spots.

And as far as I'm aware, it's not really been ruined or taken over by Instagrammers and TikTokers like so many of these places.

Yep

... uh, you know, and I'll, I'll enjoy going to places that I, I feel are ostensibly queer, like Afflecks Palace.

Um, or, you know, places where- I can chill a bit and I'm not gonna have to put all my attention on a show.

Mm-hmm.
