An alarming lack of scrobbling.

I ripped the Jeffrey Lewis mix cd you made me to my laptop, so it's going to get lots of listens from now on....... xxxxx

I'm on campus listening to my library last.fm radio and your music came on.... yay. Smile on my face :) makes me MISS YOU.

hey catherine, i saw you've listened to Night shall eat… and thought you might want to check out the new free ep and music video that were just dropped on the myspace. myspace.com/thesegirlsandboys thanks for the support! willy

Hello. As bad timing would have it, I can't make the mix next week - but do you suppose I could submit to the box by giving my mix to you before hand?

HELLO. Ah, Get Lonely is such a beautiful album. and sad. but yes, I wanted to remind you that we should go to that café in the south lanes that we walked past last week. maybe a weekend date? ooooh, my brain is playing tricks on me all the time, like it can't focus. I'm gonna go to the doctor's tomorrow to check if everything is okay with me because I very often feel like I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Baff‽ Any chance of a mix swap type thing for easter? I'd quite like to crack out the Papier-mâché and build an egg around a tape.

Baff! Just cos I haven't seen or communicated with you in some considerable time doesn't make our friendship squash instead of juice, does it? Let's do a MIX SWAP THROUGH THE POST xxxx

baff, have you heard baby dee? if yes, how do you feel about her? like you want to come and see her at the hanbury with me? yesssss...

I would like to show my appreciation that you have listened to your own music 40 times recently. Baff pop FTW!

My goodness... 56,000 more listens than me! Do you have an ipod? Does it scrobble properly? See, mine rarely works, which is sad. Hope your Christmas time has been appropriately merry! xx

My phones playing up, so I thought I'd reply here. I'm pretty good, hope you're well. I don't think I'll be able to make the mix swap - Thursday is deadline day and It's looking like it's going to be a close finish. But have a good one - I'm still looking forward to getting a 3rd time lucky magic mix.

Heyy, I had such a nice lunch today with the houmous that you gave me. Thank you. I am lazy today, feel like having lots of teas and coffees (break excuses) and I spent like 2 hours watching news videos on cnn (YES, CNN). And reading online magazines... blehhh. Procrastination. Coffee and chocolate now to speed me up for ecology and FORCE WRITING.

It's going in my essay that he had sex with Thatcher. Hopefully my lecturer dislikes him as much as we do.

This isn't the new facebook because I have not had the opportunity to become a fan of 'waking up alone'. Fact. Facebook would have provided me that privilege. My pic is awesome. Science is the best. My essay is not. DOWN WITH THATCHER!

HI BAFFERINE. Sometimes you have to let me in on why your nickname is Baff. I hope you had a nice evening tonight... very sad I couldn't join you. Even sadder since I didn't really do anything too studious at the library. But I did come across another degree that I want to apply to (which I will tell you about tomorrow)... so got a bit excited about that. I also had a sneaky dinner at Falmer Bar so I wouldn't have to cook for myself. Now I'm reading about Marx and Lenin and ecologism and all that. Sooo interesting but so heavy too. But still, I like it. Also, according to my last.fm we now have SUPER musical compatability again! YAY. Look forward to lunching tomorrow :))))

motivation schmotivation.

I'm going on campus today, as I have a 4-6 seminar. But we might just as well meet there at 9 and go in together. Then I can spend the time hanging out at the library trying to figure out what to write my Death of Socialism essay about (slightly important) and what course to do next term (pretty vital). x

YES. I would love to go to that. I have such a craving for going out these days. Oh, I can feel it already that this week is going to be very unproductive (but I have to fight against it). I have done absolutely nothing all weekend, except read a few pages of Foucault on bio-power. Instead, I have watched too much online tv, and today I cooked a lovely potato and leek (+ other veggies) soup. I hope the writing has gone well / is going well. I would love to read your paper at some point. SEE YOU TOMORROW EVENING! x let's hang out in the great penthouse bar inbetween/afterwards.

Good. Sam M is eating with us as well :) I wasn't actually saying WE will be watching Fish (although we could if you wanted), just that I am watching it now, while cooking. Anyway. Yes, come over. Bring wine. And use this excellent rainy opportunity to wear your super cool wellies!

Helllooo. I see you're listening to music right now so thought I'd write to you here instead of text. I have actually started cooking already (I was bored). I know it's raining and the weather is horrible, but I really think you should come over. I'm doing some kind of a butternut squash coconut curry..... while watching Life: Fish on BBC (narrated by Mr Attenborough)!

I tried to send you a link of the recording of the mg gig, but last.fm wasn't having any of it.

You'd probably want the AAC version. Track list for the show is here: http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,72752,page=3 I'm pretty sure it'll be one of those.

Might have been woke up new. Anyway, last link of the day: http://satanicmessiah.com/

I'd quite like to get your mountain goat mix tape track list - if you wouldn't mind?

Yes, I'm going. I've bought a ticket and everything. But I have to stay on campus until late and then go home to change. But we can meet up at Phoebe's place (she said drinks at her place beforehand)...? Hope your first week of third year is exciting and going well! You have to tell me more about cyborgs when we meet :)

Aww... I have just realised that the Mountain Goats gig that you're going to on Saturday is going to have Sondre Lerche as the supporting act. Sondre Lerche is a very charming, talented and wonderful Norwegian singer-songwriter, who I have been listening for a long time. So you better not miss him (I haven't actually seen him live yet, but I can only imagine that he's good). Are you going to the Blind Tiger Club thing tomorrow???

Ha, I did wonder why you posted that at 5 in the morning. See you later.

Bummer, I can bring a bunch over today. Pub?

i bloody lied, i am going to taunton on monday.. so yes, would love to gig with you and annika on sunday if you're still going? xxxxxxxx

131 Mountain goat tracks last week. I hope you realise it's all your fault.

MAYBE. I'm in a very cliche situation. After eight weeks of not really knowing what I was doing, the bits and pieces are finally starting to make sense. But there's so little time left so I have to be really efficient in order to make it work. But maybe I will stop by for just one hour or so. Will you be there??? I hope so :)

:-( How I will miss you. But :-) how you will love Spain. Are you coming to Alex's party? Just for an hour? Go on. Say you will. Partying on Saturday for definite, let me know your plans and I'll let you know mine. xx

Yes. I'll be going to Spain on Monday and will be away for 8 days (which means I'm only back two days before you leave for America. Would be great to squeeze in a date then too if possible). My boyfriend is coming on Saturday. But I am definitely up for doing something (e.g. party) during the weekend if you're in Brighton. I might also come to that gig on Sunday (if there are still tickets by then). Oh, I really should stop using parentheses in every sentence.

or we could meet up in town, but that is a bit problematic unless I manage to get my phone fixed/replaced because otherwise I will be phone-less (which makes it very difficult to meet up with anyone in the year of 2009). I'll text you if I'm not :)

Ah, my phone is still not working so I will take it to Orange to see if the warranty covers it (which it should). But they'll probably come up with some ridiculous excuse to why it doesn't... capitalism! Are you in Brighton? The weather is so lovely today. It's not meant for sitting inside, which I have been doing. Don't know if I'll have time for dinner...? I might just grab some takeaway to eat at home. But you are always welcome to my house for tea/hang-out :)

Hey girl... How was Scotland? I think my phone is broken, can't turn it on, will try to get it fixed soon. But thank you for your nice text this morning :) I'm really getting into Bill Callahan now, regret leaving his gig early. I think I'm finally seeing a tiny bit of light at the end of the JRA-tunnel. I finally got email replies from the equality bodies in Germany and Denmark yesterday, and I have made a poster plan which I think might work. See you on Monday? Take care xxx

waaaah... ignore that last gabble. i will almost definitely be in brighton for that gig. have you got a ticket already? xxxxx

hey doll, wilkommen (sp?) collective sounds great.. if i'm in brighton i would love to go. i'm not really sure what i'm doing in september though, operation pending i'm back in bristol, but it's looking more and more like the old shoulder will be on the back burner till next summer... so poss i will be in brighton. anyway, i'm back this eve... so maybe we could rendez vous this weekend? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yes... I LOVE VEGAN CAKE. Sooo, tomorrow afternoon: cake date. Monday evening: late dinner date. All other times: JRA (+ "I can't help it" procrastination) date (with myself). You have just made my week a whole lot more interesting. :]

Hiii. I'm happy to hear you're getting drunk, you lovely drunk. I am going to get very drunk by the end of this JRA, preferably with you. Spain is still not planned, but me and my boyfriend will probably go to Granada for about a week (because I need sun and vacation and nothing to worry about). He is, by the way, coming to England (and Brighton) on Sep 12. On another note, if you're down here tomorrow, we could meet up in town and have tea/cake/redveg/pompokos/etc. Eitherway, I'm totally up for late dinner on Monday. Maybe we could try that nice Indian place you once talked about (do you remember?). Yes, I like how your songs are like a storyline of your life in Brighton. But you have to tell me more about the medical references because I didn't quite understand the whole bone thing :) xxx

oops... something=sometime

Yes, date... except, I might be in Spain. Haven't bought tickets yet but that's the day we're planning to go if we go. Will let you know what happens. I like the Amelie soundtrack, used to always listen to it (and I used to always watch the film). Now I'm going to listen to your songs :) Hope you're having a good time in London. I want to cook for you something when you come back (but after the JRA).

Dear Baff Pop I still miss you on facebook. I wish I could leave facebook too... maybe I will at some point. Anyway, so I was working on my comparative grid and listening to music, but then I ended up writing a long list of things that I'm feeling (which unfortunately now takes up more space on the page than my poor grid). Then I listened to your song. It is lovely... I look forward to talking soon. And I hope you put more of your songs online!!

You seem to have vanished from the facebook. I reckon we should sort out a date and some propaganda about a post freshers swap.

British Sea Power on living in Brighton. http://www.theargus.co.uk/blogs/blogs/colin_houlson/4500016.British_Sea_Power/

YEAHYEAHYEAH. ps let's all go to greenman.

Yes yes yes. I was wondering why I wasn't invited to that, but then I noticed that there was a group for it and everything. I'll be attending as of from now, mix-tapes (well cds for me because I don't have a tape recorder here) here I come!
