Sinister: exams exschmams

[duke of harringay]

all this talk of exams... you poor poor souls. think then sometimes of us
equally poor souls on the other side of the equation who have to mark the
bloody things :-( the duchess is currently ensconsed in her study doing
another stint, marking those bloody SAT papers for English. And all the
students have answered on Midsummer Nights Dream, her most hated Shakespeare
ever. a tough life. and me? well three days solid marking bloody GCSE work
and still not finished. it's brain-smacking, i can tell you. so come on
kids, spare us a thought when you sit down to that paper, and think: do i
really NEED to do this much work? ;-)

um, of course feeling more up-beat on account of it's now another half term
and that the details of the new B&S record are seeping out. i do so hope
they will keep the name 'the truth about youth' cos it rocks. in a prissy
way, of course. hope the summer dates coincide with our school hols and that
they deign to play somewhere further south and west than bloody Bristol. you
listening, you bloody popstar people, you? Exeter would be good, of
course...

haven't heard the mogwai single cos i don't listen to the radio. the remixes
ep and lp are great though. other current listenings recommended by the
duke: the boards of canada lp on Warp is the sound of falling in love
underwater. Chaos A D lp on rephlex is tom jenkinson demo tracks from yers
ago and is hilarious and magical acid squelches ahoy. more to your liking
would be the new velocette single, with it's sterelob meets the etienne
grrove, although the slower than slumber cover of paris angels' sublime
perfume is the killer. Whistler's rare american shoes also smoulders. and
jonathan richman. uncovered again, always sounding so great it hurts.

i played orange juice's ostrich churchyard the other morning before school.
it fair made me bristle.

the duchess thinks that the trembling blue stars is bland shite, but i still
have a fondness. i wonder if bob will ever make good his dream of becoming a
postman on orkney. or was it shetland?

i wittered too much. have a cool picnic wherever you are. i shall take my
bicycle, ride to the top of Great Haldon and grin like a madman. i shall be
thinking of you.

respect,

the duke dude.

i'm not brave, i'm not special, i'm not any of those things.
