The entire alphabet couldn't even save this track.

I really have no words for how bad this track is.  Unfortunately Tommy didn't upload a 0* graphic. :-/  since vimeo is taking a giant shit in it's own mouth tonight, here it is on youtube:

Okay yeah that was ridiculously good. Somehow you managed to get (I don't know how to describe it) a technical groove going... wtf! I took notes yet again.


Edit- Oh and here was the biggest surprise for me. Your stabbing staccato style works perfectly with cutting edge glitch edm. When I heard this track I thought you were going to blow it. Nice versatility you really understand the music. At some points it looked like you wanted to go more complex but the beat held you back. That was weird to watch. Like a computer getting frustrated by having to divide 2 + 2 haha.

Even though I was in the room with you when you filmed this, I wasn't really watching to closely. So here are my thoughts after watching the video.

Normally your musicality is your strong point and you typically do a good job of representing the music. But this time I didn't think so. Maybe it was because you were not feeling the track, so that probably gonna hinder your musicality a bit. But usually you prefer dancing to much more complicated music that is faster and harder to represent, but when presented with a simpler track, you kinda bombed out on musicality imo.
As I watched it, I thought to myself, "Its as though hes dancing to a different type of music then what actually is playing."  
So I went on youtube and hunted for a half decent breakcore track (Didn't find one till i got to the second page) And replayed your clip with the audio muted, while the breakcore was playing.......  It matched up soooo much better then the 1st time I watched it with the original audio.
 
   I'm gonna guess the musicality was not so good on this one because you were not into the music. But even still, Im thinking, you might be becoming an "Over specialized" Dancer.  When dancing to certain types of music its almost to easy for you to destroy a track as far as musicality goes. But then, outside of those certain genera's you prefer to dance to, its not coming so naturally. But the odd thing is, the types of music you do best with, is some of the hardest music to represent. But you have trained your muscles to be able to represent that type of music. A simple track like this should have been cake for you to represent, but I just didn't see it.  

  But, even with all being said, I liked your posture and presence in this clip.  You took up all the space around you and had more powerful looking stances in your dance. The groundwork turned out to be pretty sweet if u ask me. Hopefully next time we are out at a party you bust some of that type of stuff out. I was diggin it.

I'm okay with not being able to dance to shitty music. :)  I don't often *force* myself to dance to music that I don't enjoy, and that's what dancing comes down to for me--enjoyment.  So there's no way I'm ever going to take dancing to music I don't like seriously. ;)

When music like this comes on at a party, you won't see me poorly representing it, you'll see me sitting down. edit: or yelling at the dj.

ROR!

Uhh, yeah, that ground move, sickness...You did this backwards walk I've seen you do with popping before and it looks much better with liquid.  That track made me think of Fergi teaching the alphabet to little kids.  You tuffed it out and I thought it was a fun clip to watch.  Proppers as usual!

The liquid was par for the kai course, except the floor moves, which were exceptional. Body seemed cleaner and more active than usual, which was nice. I would have liked to have seen some ignorant club bounce to this, you getting dumb and stunning like your father.
