lmao love it. The Guardian has been killing it with their music articles lately. They also just did an article on Selena Gomez and the rise of Whisperpop: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/nov/11/whisperpop-why-stars-choosing-breathy-intensity-over-vocal-paint-stripping

their music section has always been pretty good but ita, their longreads have been killing it lately

every dance move i do is awkward, because i have no rhythm, no ass, and no sense of graceful movement.

Girl in high school I knew basically danced like Elaine on Seinfeld lol

[kjesta]

honestly she looks like she's having the fucking time of her life, like i wish everyone could give so little fucks lol

[delfintaka]

Oh, cute article. Thanks for posting!

My awkward "move" is dansing like i have no upper body strength al all...just letting my arms hang there like two long ropes (i am tall)

I have so many gifs of Thom dancing. They’re how I express joy. Hah

[beaarthursdrug]

Omg Thom. I love that video of him randomly performing at his neighbors BBQ

[buttersbooboo]

YES!

I don’t think Kate Bush is awkward lol. Her dancing really shines in her Hounds of love videos.

[beaarthursdrug]

When she first came out she was seen like an awkward airhead. The Shelley Duvall of brit pop.

I love her dancing. It's fun. It brightens my day (also her music helped save Tricky and Elton John from suicide)

But yes her best dancing is HOL. Imo its:

Wuthering Heights, Wow, Sat In Your Lap, Running Up That Hill, The Sensual World

Her performance of Violin during the Christmas special is also very good.

Did you vote to get her in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet? You can vote once a day

[zazie_toujours]

yeah she studied dance and mime, she may be quirky but she knows wtf she's doing

[untxi]

ita, it might be strange and a bit avant-garde for that era, but it doesn't come off as awkward at all.
