Body Electric documentary on TV
Description:
Up until now, the only dancing on TV has been the sweat, more sweat, and tears of c-grade celebrity-infested Dancing With The Stars and Australia's So You Think You Can Dance where everyone in wardrobe should be shot for the truly offensive garb they conjure up each week. But this Sunday that's all set to change, with Melbourne's own grassroots dance movement Body Electric – led by founder and dance tutor Jade Duffy – set to feature on ABC TV's Art Nation.

Description:
Dancing sober (or at least in a coherent state) is a polarising issue. Some of us find the whole deal as terrifying as it is mystifying, while many of us can't get enough of it. Us wallflowers should probably get on board The Body Electric, a phenomenon that has swept the northside like a good-time plague.

Description:
Now, we don't know much about this "dance" music, but we know some of you whippets go batshit crazy for the stuff. And who could blame you? Stereosonic is the party where no-one rags on your muscle tee, and having fun isn't punishable by the hipster supreme court. Of course, all this comes at a price: $127 plus douchery - but they'll be watching the Cobrasnake watch Laurent Garnier.

Favela Rock will reach out to the metal crowd at this, its 'Masters of Crunk' party. Check it out! This looks to be the event where the fat white kids who generally keep Lars Ulrich in goatee-trimmers will finally, as they say, "get some crunk in the drop". Either that or the party where Lil Jon learns that Thrash is not just Atlanta's NHL mascot.

Description:
It was a stormy night. A neon tube flickered as Daragh Kan knocked at the basement door. A pair of eyes glared at him through the hatch. The sound of fumbling. The rattle of keys. He was there because he was compelled by a higher force. He needed the bathroom, and Michael D owed him $15.
