Some of the best gigs I've seen were at the Zodiac - Sleater Kinney, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Scritti Politti (& Silver Mt Zion them Luke Haines/John Moore in the old downstairs bit at the old Zodiac); though the place really changed when it became a Carling/then O2 Academy. Whereas once they served something like Staropramen, you then got horrible overpriced piss in plastic cups.

Magazine was really good there as it was upstairs; the sole time I went downstairs was when I saw Super Furry Animals and it is a bit weird. Not helped by folk crammed in the bars and an audience wanting them to play songs from the 90's (amusingly enough they did play 'Northern Lites', but in the style of Husker Du).

Weird that I used to go to gigs in Oxford lots - the last time was either Magazine or Ladytron...I do tend to frequent Bristol and Birmimgham now....
