Here’s a little snippet from my journal from the night of the Los Campesinos show June 26, 2008.<\/p>\n

Definitions!<\/h2>\n

skanking<\/strong>: V.\u00a0 The dance you do at the Los Campesinos! show when you are hysterical with joy and you have leg room.<\/p>\n

pogo<\/strong>: V.\u00a0 The dance you do at the Los Campesinos! show when you are packed like Mentos in a Coke bottle with other joyful fans.<\/p>\n

mosh<\/strong>:\u00a0 V. What happens when the whole crowd fizzes over, bounding off walls and fleshy sweaty bodies all singing “It’s you…It’s me…It’s dancing!”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

drum solo<\/strong>: N. When the drummer for Los Campesinos runs into the audience and the whole audience keeps the beat with hand claps.<\/p>\n

the Jane Fonda Workout<\/strong>: N. What you get when you pogo through the cacophonous segment of “We Throw Parties You Throw Knives”.<\/p>\n

thirsty<\/strong>: Adj.\u00a0 How I feel when I see Tom Campesinos! sweat.<\/p>\n

ugly<\/strong>: Adj.\u00a0 What your chest will look like when you proudly brandish your new Los Campesinos! T-shirt, for all their merch looks like nightmares illustrated by pre-schoolers.<\/p>\n

satisfaction<\/strong>: N. The feeling associated with having shouted and sang and squirmed your heart out. Synonyms: spent, glowing, Rawr. Cross-reference to: Los Campesinos!, “with your c<\/em>hin on your knees like you belong.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Los Campesinos! Don’t Tell Me to Do the Math<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n
