i too got my Looper singles this morning (one for me, one for the duchess), handed to me as i stepped from the door on my way to school. They sat safely in my filing cabinet all day until i just got home an hour ago and i just played them (well i only played mine actually) and, well, i really love it. It's strange, but the record really reminds me of me, if that doesn't sound too conceited. It's like, well, it sounds for all the world like a little segment of a Duke's Living Room set,
This is a worrying development Duke, could it be possible that Stuart David perhaps went to your dining room in the early sixties and heard you doing it, perhaps taping it with his portable DAT player? I'd get on to your lawyers.
1) I was never, ever, *EVER* even the faintest bit cheeky to prefects, as I recognised the fact that people two years older than me were *SO* much more mature, and therefore well deserving in the ability to hand out lines.
Roddddney - you were a cheeky little bastard, as I said, you were very rude and you're very lucky we didn't give you a bogwash, or a wedgy or something.
There were about 20 people in a given tape-trading group. The only rules were that you weren't allowed to put any TCS songs on the tape,
Erin, first of all it's a bit worrying that you were scared until it felt "safe", I shouldn't worry about that, fire away, it's all a good laugh. In any case the taping idea is cool, we should do it - and remember folks - no Trash Can Sinatras songs on our tapes. Hehe only joking. I do think it's a good idea though. Paul, perhaps we should maintain on the web page a list of telephone numbers and addresses and stuff - I know you're busy at the moment but I'll help you knock it up if you like some time.

anything is possible, and i mean anything. perhaps that little kid with the glasgow accent that i used to see every summer on troon prom was really stuart david, and that ice cream he was always clutching was actually a cunningly disguised dat recorder... i always wondered why he was following me around as i wandered up and down between the crazy golf and the other, 'proper' putting green, telling anyone who would listen (and those who wouldn't) all about my ideas to make noise out of lo-fi breakbeats, typewriters, bleeps and phony romantic stories. 'one day...' i would say, and everyone would smirk and move away, except for jimmy mcfarlane who would take any chance to kick me in the guts. meanwhile the little glasgow boy's ice-cream dropped a few more dribbles of raspberry syrup onto the sand, and he plotted his future. or something.

Rodney mentioned Dollar academy or somesuch, and there's a kid in my year 10 art group who always tells me about how he went on holiday to scotland last summer, and that the place he went to was called Dollar. I laugh and say trust Scotland to name a town after a dodgy 80s pop duo with outrageous hair and teeth but he never gets the joke.

someone on the indie-pop list ran a similar thing when i was on there, and it was a lot of fun, although sometimes tapes didn't appear, but that was probably understandable when the majority of the particpants were in the USA and i'm stuck here in rainy devon. But yeah, i'm up for getting involved. i think that the guy who did the indiepop one just asked people to send their details to him, and he stuck it on a database and he had a little software routine that made matches. i dunno if that's possible or necessary here, but whatever. i'm up for it for sure. i can tape people lo-fi breakbeats and typewriter noise and i can read stories over the top and pretend i'm someone special. not that anyone will agree, but what the hell. keep on pushing (colourbox) the duke ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
