OK so now the dissertation/coursework slog is over, Tara and I have somewhat recovered what once resembled life: as well as drinking copious amounts of tea and supping bottled water through a straw we have also been tip-toeing out into town, conversing with talented friends and stealing ideas for our long-awaited next broadcast.
This Tuesday Laura will return (possibly Tara-less while she recovers from the creme egg sweats in the relative comfort of the parental homestead) with honest to god actual spoken word from the very talented Craig Bayne who promises ‘Kafka inspired’ stories put to tape via the power of cabarnet sauvignon: I personally can’t wait.
There will be much of the unusual and the same, possibly sound-tracked by songs featuring ‘dodgy raps’. We all have our fave dodgy raps, admit it. We can all ‘do’ Blondie’s rapture right the way through. Gen-ius.
So that’s your ear treats taken care of, this coming Tuesday 11am on www.subcity.org, or at whatever time you bloody well feel like via the art of ‘listen again’, but if you want your sights given the same treatment then hunt out and enjoy the stacks of KnockBack magazine stashed in Monorail and Che Camille (level 6, Argyll Arcade): it’s a cutting-of-the-edge-hedge women’s ‘anti-mag’ which blows a big smelly burp in the direction of Cosmopolitan and all that shite.
It’s pretty funny and I have a few extra copies to give away, so if you can’t make it into the city centre (although you should totally try and get to Mono this weekend, I’ve heard a rumour about VEGAN CUPCAKES) or can’t afford a paltry £2 in these tight times then I might even throw a wee GIVEAWAY COMPETITION. It’ll be a Rara first.
Next week I might morph into Sarah Cox, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.
So that’s:
1) have a good weekend and enjoy yourself, scamps
2) check out KnockBack www.knockback.co.uk
3) Craig Bayne stealing yer stories on Rara this Tuesday
Raaaaaaaaaaaaa!
