I've been watching some old AFI videos on youtube and now I just want to unplug my headphones, crank up the sound impossibly loud, and dance around. My sister and I used to do that in the basement when the house was otherwise empty. It was fantastic, to be that deep into the music and just let ourselves go, throwing ourselves around and singing and occasionally smashing into each other without worrying about it at all. Their older stuff is just so good, so perfect for yelling. When I do start driving I intend to play a lot of AFI in the car, as it calms my mind but makes me body feel on edge and alert and just so ready to move.
I don't know where I'm going with this. I guess I'm just reminiscing about when I was younger and could go to shows and just jump around and scream and thrash and feel so godamned alive and in touch with the music. Chucks squeaking on wet cement, my elbows sore from getting them caught against peoples sternums, throat raw by the end of the evening and the same bright look in everyone's eyes as they left a nice pit; weary but exhilarated.
