THE FIRST 4:30AM BONUS POST!!!!!


ok, so i just got back from a place called TURNMILLS, everyone and there mother was there. it was MSTRKFT's record release show and not only did they play but there were guest DJs from the Klaxons, the Gossip, the New Young Pony Club, and Hot Chip. From this experience I can say that i am officially done with whatever this new rave scene thing is. i mean old rave looked stupid from the start and nobody had problems distinguishing that but i feel that there are things that throw people off on the new rave. 1. day glo- it seems fun, its brighter than bright, it plays fun tricks under a black light, and i'm sure it seems really silly while you're on ecstacy; however, when you take a closer look it is nothing more than a tragically aggressive color. it's not inviting, it's piercing and it has the ability to invade your personal space from across the dance floor. 2. bands like the Klaxons, the Gossip, etc. etc. DJ these fucking masquerades. these perveyors of pop trade in there wonderful melodies and happy-go-lucky tunes for drum and bass drones that are boring and never ending. it's called being fucking lazy when you just play the same poor excuse for a beat over and over again for hours and hours. the test is this: if you can listen to electronic music that you can dance to even when you're not dancing then you know its awesome examples: dan deacon, !!!, lcd soundsystem etc. 3. ecstacy- i know it should seem simple and eventhough i've never done it i've spoken to many that have and basically when you're on it EVERYTHING IS AWESOME, if you are not already weary of people who think that everything is awesome then you are not enough of a skeptic for this day and age. any environment that you can only tolerate under the influence, especially of something life threatning such as ecstacy, should probably be avoided. all i can say is that in places such as these the results are sad and disheartening not to mention expensive (15fuckingpounds). that and i basically had to will myself not to fall asleep so i could see MSTRKFT's set which started at 2am. ok well enough bitching at the moment i'm sure i'll talk about it in the video to come, and just to show you how awesome i think i am here is a picture of my hair high fiving the wind from atop primrose hill where you can see quite a bit of london.
