“Stay tuned for a dreamy synopsis of
yester-night grooves and affairs. Staring a beautiful stranger”
I’ve became friends with this
girl who is a solo musician and also plays in a band! We were actually acquainted through Instagram,
when I posted a picture of these pins I made for my favourite band Sticky Fingers
(practically half the reason I wanted to come to Australia!!!) anyways she’s invited me to a few of her gigs
and it’s been pretty radical! I feel like the internet makes us all like second
cousins or step siblings. Shout out to Courtney aka La Vif Music.
Check out her tunes!! She just is
Talent. *notice the capitalization of the “T”
Saturday night I went to see
her in her band doing a B52’s cover set at this basement club called Tokyo Sing
Song. It was full fledged 80’s in body mind and spirit. Everyone’s dressed up,
which in this era of hipster fashion we’re basically always dressed in 80’s
attire. But when boobs are painted into abstract art on the wall and couples
are dancing to “Come on Eileen” YOU
REALLY FEEL LIKE YOUR IN THE 80’S. When
I say dancing, I don’t mean grinding or just jumping with your hand in the air
and ending with a dab. I mean .. shaking, twirling ,kicking just undefined
movements that are somehow carried out gracefully thanks to the magic that lies
within all great 80’s pop songs.
This is something I usually do
while I’m cleaning or making food so to do it with a group of equally energetic
people is a really beautiful thing.
I don’t know what it is but the cheesier the
80’s tune the weaker I am in the knees. Needless to say Saturday my knees were
jello thus allowing my dance moves to be ever so gnarly. I requested this song
I love “Lowdown by Boz Scaggs”. (It’s from the 70’s another musical
favourite) So I’m really into the funk
when this guy comes up and says
“Can you teach me how to dance
like that”
I’d like to take a minute to
say he was beautiful and in this moment I felt I truly honoured. And I said
“You just gotta feel it, it
helps if you put down your drink”
Than we danced.
And the rest is history.
The end.
Ps. Cliff hanger muaha. Then he actually put down
his drink and started dancing with his eyes closed. It was so cute , like he
was gaining melodic understanding or something.
He asked me what I’d request next I said super freak by Rick James. He
said Beautiful Stranger by Madonna. We sat down for a bit. I got ready to leave
and somehow lost an earring and he followed me out and returned it and said
“are you just gonna run off or
can I get your number”
“uh I’m just gonna run off”
IS THAT NOT STRAIGHT FROM AN
80’S CINDERELLA SCRIPT OR WHAT.
Salutations Lu ! I should have
given you my mobile sequence of digits.
