SAC study break. Talking to Drew in studio A. "The Style War" volume one, which I couldn't figure out how to tape. Hopefully next week. Joel called and requested the Fucking Champs, and two girls asked Magnetic Fields songs, I could only find one. Chang stepped in through the window and remarked on a Serge Gainsbourg/Jane Birkin album and an album by The Ex, both of which I played for him. Good stuff from the playlist: the Moldy Peaches, the Causey Way, Sigur; leftovers: The Frumpies, Stars, The Apes (well they were kind of weird but we're seeing them in ICELAND.) Saw Ruby and Essie in Kohlberg and went to sit in on a round of debate that Ruby was judging. Silly Princeton and H-Ford boys debating legalizing truancy. "This will be the death of our educational system!" I read a round of Robert Browning poems to Ester on her bed ("The Bishop Orders His Tomb at St. Praxed's Church" is awesome); Renee came in as I was saying something about a turret. "did you say turd?" "hey, these are browning turds." Ben and Rob are here now, and Renee and Jess are supposedly coming up to watch High Fidelity.
the salty lips of the socialite sisters with their continental fingers that have never known working blisters… oh i know they've got their problems. i wish i was one of them
