Party Vibe

The Grauniad have even finally worked out (10 years after it became possible) that modern computers and websites can deal with “ø” ; that there is more innovative music than Europop coming out of Northern Europe and folk there can actually have large crowd events there without major safety incidents. its quite an achievement for an event outside the UK or USA (that isn’t a war or a political scandal) to make it on the Grauniad website (especially when most of their music/arts editors are way older than us and still stuck in the 1980s/1990s..)

Grauniad actually comes out on top for the English language reports this time; VICE (at least that franchise of it) reminds me of a “yoof magazine” from 1987, both are written by English reporters and still have a element of “look at what the funny foreigners are doing” when instead they should be saying “why can’t we do this in Blighty?”

Looking back I wish I’d been able to learn other languages more easily back in the 1980s as from what I remember of even mainstream youth magazines from across the sea they seemed to encourage working together/consensus that is needed to hold these events…

You need to be protected from flying glass bottles, enormous Viking feet crunching your toes to a bloody pulp, arms fist pumping madly in all directions, and any number of bodily fluids flowing towards you like the wild rapids of the Zambezi River

I’ve noticed this too amongst many British folk of more North European ancestry, its not like they intend to hurt or distress anybody but genuinely forget their own size/sense of balance/dignity; a friend of mine who would fit that description required 2.0m wide berth when he had taken ketamine and started dancing to drum and bass which got known as “clownstep” because of this. It doesn’t however cost too much to patch them up if you have a teaching hospital nearby (and Copenhagen appears to have two)
