In due parole, cosa è il crowdsurfing? How Do You DIY? // Breve storia del crowdfunding musicale E' un gran bel salto in avanti, non c'è che dire. Soprattutto il crowdsurfing aiuta a cambiare quella cazzo di mentalità per cui oggi deve ( o comunque è) essere tutto gratis, dove piuttosto che benedire la Manna della gratuità come mezzo di accesso facile e veloce per arrivare poi all'oggetto fisico pagato, lo si intende come fine ultimo. Finadesso nessuno mi ha stimolato a tal punto da "comprare" una piccola quota di un [...]

Sugar's Copper Blue was such a perfect, noise-pop album that cemented Bob Mould as a genius.  When 1993's Beaster EP came out I was hoping for more hooky sing-a-longs, but instead Sugar delivered a heavier, denser album.  I did not connect with it immediately, but experiencing it live helped me to appreciate the power of it.  The intensity of the songs were over-powering as I thrashed around in the pit. I had no intention of crowd surfing, but a stranger next to me in the pit offered to put me up and he looked [...]

Crowdsurfing is the ultimate trust exercise. Before you leap, you must analyze a series of variables that ensure your safety. Is the crowd 'dense' enough? Are there enough bros in the crowd 2 handle your weight? Are the security bros ready 2 save ur life when people start to rip ur clothes off? How will u get back 2 the stage? Do u have an inflatable raft 2 carry u back home [via Steve Aoki ]? Check out this DJ bro, trying to get the crowd 'totally jacked', doing his best to surf [...]
