At the end of the night, I ask a Russian/Israeli kid in my building who is talking about afterparties that go on until 10 in the morning sometimes in Moscow, 'is it the drinking or the dancing they can't get enough of?' And he answers it is the dancing. How is there that much rhythm in people's bodies? In the US, people go out at 10, and theyre out of there by 2, or even earlier if getting lucky that night. And how is there that much rhythm for freaking house music? That shit is so predictable: boom boom boom....*weird unsequenced interlude sounds gradually getting louder until the beat comes back and SLAMS down* and then back to boom boom boom. EVERY song is the same repetitive drone, there's no words, just noise. What is the appeal here? I can deal with a reggaeton or dancehall (isn't that better? at least there is variation!) mix but house is just plain boring, and that's all they played tonight, save for a small downstairs room. I don't even want to write this entry, I keep procrastinating, it's not interesting. I'm listening to house music right now and it is irritating me, and pushy waiters, ah! All house music is is the disco of the modern day except there's no tangible talent involved. I still don't get what is so great about clubs. I go and I dance but I only have minimal 'fun' I just find it a waste of time and boring. It's difficult to drink because you have to wait at the bar for ages until someone gives you the time of day, then you're busting moves while holding a glass full of liquid the splashes around, then there are people moving this way and that. Let's couple that with it's loud as hell and you can't hear a thing when people talk so you can't even have a conversation. I dance in the big group for the first couple hours and I just feel like an idiot though I sure not to let it show. I'm not sure whether any of the girls are into me, I try to search with eye contact but I don't get much read so I figure it's safer not to try, esp because I only known everyone a few weeks. I'll walk through the crowd next time instead of staying in the same area for hours on end. So finally, I talk to one girl in the group and she say she getting tired of the techno and says they play R&B downstairs so I suggest we go there, and we do, and we dance on and off, but she has her own moves which she seemed to like to do but it was fun. I wasn't sure if I should try for anything, I don't know, then we went upstairs it was after 3am at this point. We danced a bit more and I gave her my phone number. My priorities are screwed up. Why am I worried about phone numbers? I'm here for less than 4 months. Ech, God guide me please, I am a lost soul. Put me in a bar, I am a creature of tongues, not rhythm. Then these girls I saw earlier in the night were dancing O so I decide to try to make it over there and I exchange names with 2 of them and talk a bit with 1 but it's so loud. I'm listening to reggaeton now. Finally I say I have to levae and I have no idea what she said so I decide 'can I give you my number?' and shesays something I certainly cant hear so after a little I'm like forget it and I still don't know what she says. Ech it's that time of night where my eyes don't stay open... til next time...
Sorry needed to include the fact that I am 22 years old and I would always rather a bar with some friends and with a good live band then the club. Why does it always take people til their mid to late 20s to figure it out? Maybe I'm just an old duffer... Here's to LIVE music!
