An email flew across UK new media types today, exhorting people to take part in a flashmob to celebrate 20 years of acid house. Or as most people would term it, acccieeeeeeeeeeeedddddddd - courtesy of D-Mob's We Call It Acieed, which was probably the closest mainstream charts got to it. But to hear people twittering and muttering about it, apparently everyone was simply getting on down t'acid house in the second summer of lurve (1988). Except unsurprisingly, I was trapped in my parents' bedroom probably not doing much except watching TV and imagining that simply every cool kid was getting on down t'Acid House in the big cities. And they probably were.
Personally, out of D-Mob's ouevre, I preferred D-Mob & Cathy Dennis - C'mon get my love. And to think she went on to write some of Kylie's greatest hits. Ahhh, the 1980s...
