kinda bored. decided 2 make a random video. put my mom’s black panty hose over my face and make it seem ‘more conceptual.’ I decided to pick a poppy, upbeat song by the Crystal Castles that would make it EZ 2 dance 2. I’m a pretty artistic bro, so I just wanted a nontraditional song that would allow me to showcase innovative dance moves that u usually can’t execute at a local dance club without ‘pissing off’ bros who are just there to ‘grind on bitches.’
Wish more ppl would realize that dancing is actually an art. It’s not just a drunken display of ‘expressing urself.’ I miss 2k7. Back then, it seemed like more ppl let themselves d.a.n.c.e. :-(
“People Don’t Dance No More.” -the Raptures
I came up with an original poem
“dance like no1 is watching
love like u’ve never been hurt
sing like no1 is listening
live like itz heaven on Earth”
Just want 2 dance like no1 is watching
but record it on my Macbook
then upload it to youtube
and let ppl watch it
guess i knew they were watching the whole time
even tho they weren’t rlly there
Actually just designed a tshirt which I will market to ‘Christians’ and miscellaneous ‘generic white people.’

srsly tho.. do yall think that ‘dancing’ will ‘come back’, or has it been dead+inauthentic since the disco implosion?

Watching you dance reveals more about you than anything you’ve ever written on HRO. It says you’re a top in your dreams, a bottom in real life, your parents never took you to Disneyland, and you think Bring It On is this generation’s West Side Story.

Why is it that Christians tend to wear those kind of shirts even if they don’t even know how to dance properly? Time to write an essay for my Sociology class.

@derryck,
this song is now a modern classic. they had stolen samples in unreleased demos from 2004 so who cares because it was never shared or released but my question is why is he wearing “black-face” in the video

@corydan,
CRYSTAL didn’t cry when 50 Cent stole their track Courtship Dating for Ayo Technology. They actually said “We don’t give a fuck” in some magazine.
They paid Trevor Brown 14 blog years ago:

@thom,
So if an embezzler gets mugged, it’s cool for the embezzler to carry on robbing on a higher scale?
also, as much as I hate timb too, he didn’t rip off crystal castles. used a sidstation, they ’sound similar’ where as cc ripped off trevor brown directly and profited off his work and the whole chanel thing but yknow whatevs. enjoy making yr weak rationalizations, gon go make some stirfry nummers

@corydan,
LOL, using Chanel in jpegs only and selling a few t-shirts with stolen art like every punk band on Earth probably to pay for gasoline VS. being ripped off in the biggest rap song of 2007 Feat. *NSync even though the cc version was out in 2006 and has the same exact beat/chords/Sid sound. it’s O.K. yall no one was hurt in the war

sometimes I don’t ‘get’ yall
how many times do hro cmmntrs have to argue about the authenticity of Crystal Castles?
and it always ends with an altbro saying how many times he would ‘tug off to her in a day’
yet someone always has to post a cmnt saying ‘Crystie Castie st0le da tunes !1′
