a friend gave me some Squarepusher live at Coachela, on
DivX and i fucking loved watching him makes faces etc.

What fucking upsets me is the lack of crowd movement. There
he is playing the bangingest tunes and everyones just
stareing at him nailed to the floor. Thats fucked up!

I noticed it too at WARP/Hackney a few years back - Vibert
and AFX jungle soundwar with fuck all people giving it
loads.
I don't know about you lot but when i'm at a heavy
electronica gig i bang my fucking head off and over here,
the crowd does as well.
So are US/UK lacking in the dance gene or what? I got only a
few examples so educate me, chums!

hahaha, i can imagine. did you read that afx interview in
wire. he said that he don't get how some people who attend
his gigs just stand there and stare at him...apperantly he's
thinking of coming to some gig and not play anything and
just stare at the crowd instead :)

it's either they're all dugged really bad or they shouldn't
be there in the first place imo.

I enjoy gigs such as the one reflex mentioned as far as
human movement is concerned!

the drugs are stopping people dance as far as i can
tell!

maybe they're taking the term "braindance" a bit to fucking
litteraly. *slosh slosh slish

i've still got red paint from the fence on my belt-buckle
from when I was at the Xploding Plastix gig! I jumped so
much, and i was being pressed towards the fence (FRONT ROW,
MUTHAFUCKA!), i pretty much scraped the fence clean of
paint.

people who stand nailed to the floor are probably secretly
bootlegging the show and consequently don’t want to
disrupt the mic, thats how it was wih me, other wise i would
have broken out into a dance fit

I gotta dance when the music warrants it, but its odd when
nobody around you is doing it. Oh well.

its the only way for me to enjoy a show! if i just stood or
sat there, then i was bored for a reason...... but man i
love to move around..... to music, its a one of a kind
feeling.

sometimes people get into it and dance, they did at the
plaid show

not at the prefuse show though

I usually dance a bit, sometimes it catches on though,
someone has to be brave enough to start and hope others will
follow

I saw Aphex Twin at All Tomorrow's Parties 2002 in LA (UCLA)
and the front rows of packed Richard d. James look-alikes
and music elitists simply flexed (to hold their spot) and
stared at the man. I was with my friend (who remained up
against the barrier, straight-jacketed by smelly no-dancing
enthusiasts) and the atmosphere AFX was creating was killed
by these immovable wads of self-restraint.

Roughly 1/6 of the audience danced. And my seventeen year
old ass danced like I had never danced before (retardedly,
surrounded by frowns and rolling eyes).

It was one of the funnest moments of my life. Good god, if
you ever have the opportunity to see AFX, dance, man,
dance!
