bolsonLast night I went out dancing to jiveboston.com electro-swing.
The music was too loud (good thing I had earplugs) and the DJs put on a good continuous mix, but the monotonous techno thump-thump beat drown out any jazzy syncopation from the source material. On the up side, it was actually pretty fun to do some straight stepping swing and blues to that music and when people were aghast at what horrible noise they were playing I just laughed and grooved to the dub-wub-wub.
I had talked to three people about maybe being there, and none of them came, but I had unexpected fun and excellent dances anyhow.
I wish it was less loud, and earlier (10pm - 2am is not my prime time) and I wish I could have the fun I had there in an environment with those modifications.
