Well I’m officially feeling nostalgic about summertime craziness in a small town in Sweden. Registration for 2014 ain’t that far away so in the first of a few posts I may or may not write about Herräng I’ve put together this (incomplete) list of resources about the centre of the centre of the Lindy Hop
10 Lindy Hop Videos Everyone Should Watch
Well I’ve been slack with the postings as of late (I’ve been working on some other projects – and am starting my PhD – besides am I ever not slack with posting stuff here) – heck I’m always slack, but here’s 10 important videos about Lindy Hop. There’s no real criteria for inclusion – I’ve
DJing at Herrang
I’ve just left Herrang after volunteering for the crash down of camp. I’m now slowly meandering my way to Italy where I’ll take up residence in September. Whilst I was taking classes and partying I had the opportunity to be a volunteer DJ on a number of occasions. DJing at Herrang was an awesome experience
Yeah, swing dancing is sexist. So what are you going to do about it?
Sexism and misogyny in Australia has been in the news of late (in case you’re not from here or have been hiding under a rock). There’s also been a whole lot of new discussion in the Lindy Hop community about the nature of sexism in our community. See on blogs for example here, or on
ILHC and Electoral Systems
Well it’s been nearly 6 months since my last post here and I thought I should get it back going again. I was going to post something about teaching swing dance in Nepal, a recipe for vegetable curry or something similarly relevant but then the ILHC scores came out. Now for those of you who

Links of the Week: Dressing for the Gents
I was having a chat with a gentleman on the weekend (you know who you are) about ties and how I’d seen a post discussing the various authentic ways of wearing them. In particular how to keep them from flying all over the place. Then I realised that many folk have been blogging about current
2011: My (Lindy/Music) Highlights
Well another year rounds to a close and it has been almost a year since I started this blogging thing. So as to be completely original and not copy anyone else at all I thought I’d post my #lindyhop and #musicnerd highlights for the year. I’m glad it has been such a great year for
Links of the week
I’m not feeling particularly inspired to write anything at the moment. But here are some interesting links this week. I came across this excellent parody video (with thanks to Sociological Images) of Miss USA contestants asked “Should Math be taught in schools?”. Check out the original evolution video here if you can stomach a quarter
DJ Sets – Canberrang
This past weekend was Canberrang – Canberra’s Lindy Exchange and one of the jewels in the crown of the Australian Lindy Calendar. I had an awesome time over the weekend and managed to squeeze in two sets. I wanted to get them up now as a lot of folk were asking me questions about the
