post-skate

Type of punk music inspired by The Homosexuals and Protex which is kind of nervous, cathartic and fairly minimalist. Post-skate bands have the attitude without the object, they have the punk without being skate-punk, they have a vintage style without the vans.

Dude, did you listen to these new post-skate bands? Thigh Master, Dumb, Aborted Tortoise and The Shifters are so rad!

post-skate

Speedy garage punk with nervous yet friendly voice (nothing like angry punks), a simplistic and very tight rhythm, a cathartic sound, almost chopped, anti-corporation lyrics, a mid-fi production (not too lo-fi) and bouncy melodies with a vehement tendency.

Oh man, the new Aborted Tortoise is such a good post-skate album.
Oh man, post-skaters are so much better than punks.

Awkward Ice-Skate

The awkward moment between friends, when one, particularly keen on ice skating, is promised an opportunity to participate in this recreational sport with other friend(s) but then at the last minute said "friend" refuses to participate leaving the other on an ice-prairie of not having anyone to skate with.

Furious hand gestures are then made, mimicking pirouetting motion and fist shaking in rage.

"Hey Jude, do you fancy going ice skating, on the new Christmas rink in town?"
"Yeah, I promise you we'll go next week"
"Sweeeeeet"
*Next Week*
"Lets go to the ice rink then!"

"Nah, it's too cold"

****AWKWARD ICE-SKATE****

babylon skate

It is a phrase the can be used to describe a bad skateboarding experience.

I kept missing that back side (BS) kick flip. Today was babylon skate. I looked like a complete pouser. I'm going home so I can cry.
