Slam Dancing

[PrimeCutsLtd]

I used to go to a lot of hardcore shows back in the day. The nastiest pit I ever dealt with was Bad Brains an City Gardens in Trenton. The crowd was frenzied. My 140 lb body was getting tossed around like a wet rag. 10 years go by and I was at some show, I forget the band, but now I'm the 200 lb. guy slamming into people. Big difference. I have no problem with slam dancing at shows as long as the music warrants it. Just don't slam dance at a Juliana Hatfield show. Ha! Also, I always thought it was weird when people would slam dance to a dj spinning punk rock or whatever. Something wrong about that.

High school graduation toga party in this chick's garage, TSOL comes on and boppy dance party turns into spastic human pretzels bouncing off the walls. I know the suburban whiteboy experience has been shot to shit the past 20 years in favor of anything remotely "urban", but fuck it...that shit was as much fun as anything I've done since.

Oh shit. This is perhaps a thread of its own.




So what do I do in the wake of this thread? I go out and happen upon a most awesome grunge girl who for whatever reason is into me. She played me Blind Melon and told me stories that made my own most crazy stories sound like a mere high school football practice. She's naturally a little rough around the edges, but a welcome surprise compared to all of these straight-edged suburban chicks I've been consorting with as of late.





Thank you, Strut, for the timely synchronicity.

Lol, now you giving me a hard time too!?! geez.





Harvey said he wanted to thank us for the good timing. I tried to PM him to tell him I am saving up for a house and a rescue organization. So, if the relationship is a success he could send thanks to my apartment. You see, I was the first one to start this thread. Btw, I am a boy, not a gal.

Most hardcore bands I've seen encourage it.

Not Fugazi though, when i saw them they stopped playing until everybody calmed down, and Ian MacKaye argued with some guy for awhile
