Hello all, Firstly, I am *immensely* jealous all of you US-ers will get to see The New Pornographers alongside our beloved B&S. That is a gig to rival all gigs. With crossed fingers (assuming the exam gods don't dump a test on the same weekend), i will be at Weekend 2 of ATP06, so I'll get to see the Pornos too. They are absolutely Fan-f****ng-tastic. You jammy gits. I finally bought a copy of DCW; since I'm buying the Life Pursuit i figured it was time to pick up a DCW too. Ooh, i'm also buying that comic book anthology, what a sweet concept. Hooray for B&S popularity, although i second the big booooo for loud, drunk, rude and cellphone talking boorish louts at the recent gigs. I didn't go because i am poor, but I'm sure B&S were excellent despite the louts. Content: I have the radcliffe session on my PC after listening live [email me ;)]. They were very "chuffing" good, quite witty and Mark Radcliffe now intones just like John Peel used to; i think we've found the man who wants to fit into that market. The last semester of uni sucks. I'm not saying i'm emailing you *just* to avoid deadlines, but I'd be lying if that didn't have something to do with it. And then in 4 months i get shown the door and have to be an adult. bollocks to that. I'm going to take a holiday, with what little cash i can scrape off my bedside table...ooh, 24p. Great. I can take a holiday to the corner shop to buy a banana. Ooh and the superbowl's tonight. I get to stay up till 4am drinking weak american beer and watch men clout each other (go steelers). Still, bang goes another evening that i could spend doing my essays. This semester I am doing a course on "Happiness", one on Chinese Medicine, and the other 2 are core courses about power, language and other dense things. Just as i get to love social anthropology, I'm graduating into a world that doesn't use us well. Grr. So apart from graduation dissatisfaction and essay deadlines, my world rocks out. The recent musical discoveries fill me with happiness, I love my degree and scotland is surprisingly un-wet for this time of year. Thanks to the groundhog for saying we only have 6 more weeks of winter, too. Usually Edinburgh's winter is October-May. If anyone wants a S*nister meetup in Edinburgh, get in touch. Picnics in February? How twee. Lots of love, Niko xxxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
