  We should develop an independent frame of mind, and that's whatthis club is for, indepedent fun-loving people who are *fed-up* with pop music

	do you need to join a club to do these things ?

	Will you support african drumming bands,  atonal music,
	etc, or will you prefer to go on drinking binges, and
	lose consciousness whilst listing to what is often refered to as
	'grunge music'.

	Alternative music is perhaps music the majority
of people do not wish to hear.  The main problem I have with
what many people term 'alternative music' is that it seems to be
more appropriately described as 'an alternative to music'.
