night life in cheonan is unlike anything i have ever experienced before. it is not like it is dead and it not exactly pumping with excitement, but there is an energy floating around that can be tapped into. apart from the street vendors peddling their goods, one would either find themselves in a pc bang (pronounced bung), a hof which is similar to a coffe shop that dabbles in both caffeine and bad beer, or a bar. the other night we stumbled across a gem...
the rolling stones music bar is an eclectic little bar that specializes in 60s and 70s rock for your entertainment whilst knocking back a few settlers. it is comprised of a few tables, one long bar, one wall full of 12 inches (records), and two mammoth speakers that look as though they are from the 50s! and kim doesn't mind letting you know that they are still as loud now as what they were back in the day.
our night commenced with some led zep from the album 'II', and it escalted from there. initially i thought this was pretty cool, but then kim handed me some paper and said 'requests!' right then, what are you made of kim?
i started easy with some elvis. no problem as he found the 'e' section and easily cross faded blue suede shoes into ramble on. 'nice' i thought, and decided to test him a little. 'black sabbath - paranoid?' i wrote down for him. to the 'b' section and again another fade in. yeah this guy is informed.
ok then, 'thin lizzy - boys are back in town?' to the 't' section! is there no stoppping him! ok let's step it up! 'sex pistols!' i ask and receive. blondie, the same. springsteen - satisfied. roxy music - too easy. bowie, talking heads, ramones! is this guy a walking history jukebox? is there nothing he can't do? can he leap tall speaker stacks in a single bound? deflect silver record styles' off his chest? i should think so!
by this stage we had spent our money on the slightly expensive beer, but it was worth it. every damn won of it. i shall never forget the look on kim's face as we walked out of the rolling stones music bar with thin lizzy playing in the background. last night a dj did indeed save my life.
