feel the music
What does a deaf rave sound like?
How do these events differ from a regular club night? Volume, says organiser James Hoggarth."The volume may be pushed a little further and the bass turned up to 11 so the purpose of the night can be truly be shared with the deaf and hard of hearing crowd."
...
"So I've asked the DJs to pick music with big chunky bass lines and heavy rhythmic tracks. Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, which has a big panther of a bass line, is bound to get an airing; and one of my must-plays is LFO, a techno track from the early 90s famous for shattering club sound systems."
This makes a certain amount of sense to me, since one of the reasons I love Mr. Boyfriend's stereo is because I can feel the music as well as hear it.

A rave is contemporary. I've not been to one or heard one either. I can't believe we've never had this conversation in the context of B's ridiculously outdated speakers and subwolfers (sp?) b/c you can definitely feel those babies but who wants to feel anything else in this house! btw, we got a trampoline. :O How's that for marching on towards domesticity! It just gets better and better. ha ha. Seriously, I'm thankful for the thing. I figure they're burning serious energy on it.
