Lazer Sword and Megasoid

From what I can gather they call it "Turbo Crunk". We were originally introduced to the style as "LaserBass", as described in The New Yorker of all magazines, but Peter prefers a blend of the two names, which brings us to "LaserCrunk". Hopefully time will sort out the nomenclature. In the mean time, here's a link to another blog where this issue is dished out with contributions from Megasoid themselves. There's also some tunes.

ballet and other gang related activites

I, tuffstuff, started a ballet class this week. I know what your thinking, " wow, he's so cool ", but the truth is ballet, so far, has been very difficult and a little embarrassing. I can tell that I am a very long way from achieving ballerino status. I bought tights and adance belt yesterday for an intimidating sum of nearly 70 dollars! Oh, what's a dance belt you ask? It's pretty much a black thong with a bunch of padding in the front. So, I got to wear my first thong yesterday. It's really not that bad. They've always looked so uncomfortable to me in the past but now I understand. I've been wanting to do ballet for years and now I'm doing my best to make it happen. I has been a scary at times getting up in front of the whole class and fumbling gracelessly through the motions. I'll get over it I suppose.

Also...

We're starting a dance gang. Richard, Lija, Peter, and I went out to the club last night and spotted recruits. This is how I see it going down. We build a tight gang of dancers and take our mobile sound system downtown to challenge other dance gangs and their sound systems. No cars. That last part might exclude some people but cars suck so who cares. We can have choreographed moves to certain songs, matching jackets, alter-egos, maybe even resurrect the whole trading card thing. We'll build crowds and reputations. Sounds great.

Pet Shop Boys and street dancing.

Jt here..

I've got the Pet shop Boys on right now someone warned me about them but "sooner or later this happens to everyone" (he just said that, I thought it fitting). There's supposed to be a street party on Friday this week, "sooner or later this happens to everyone" (he just said that again) and we're going... I think. Peter is supposed to be making fliers today or something, but we still haven't got a sound system running yet. That seems to be the most important part, not the fliers, but fliers are pretty cool sometimes, builds hype.

A remix of West End Girls just came on. It's slow and smooth with choppy robot drums. This I like.
