Term over! And the soundtrack to the final week's late nights in the studio was:
Battles - Dominican Fade
Clap, clap, clap, clap. This album will forever be in the shade of its amazing predecessor, but there are some gems to discover on revisiting it.
Aesop Rock ft. Mr Lif - 11:35
Love it when rap's most dexterous linguist suddenly goes old-school storytelling hip hop.
Billy was a coke-fiend, Maggie was a COP
Wu-Tang Clan - A Better Tomorrow
Like Calum said: Didn't think they had it in them these days. But I'm listening to this track every day and it just gets better and better. The video too:
Billie Holiday - I Loves You Porgy
I want to be your Porgy, Billie! I want someone to drawl out the syllable of man like that when they speak of me.
Bob Dylan - Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie
I know it sounds a bit teenagey to say that one of my favourite poems is by Bob Dylan. But just gonna say: This gets me, right in the chest area, every time. Sometimes it seems to say almost everything.
Who am I helping, what am I breaking
What am I giving, what am I taking
But you try with your whole soul best
Never to think these thoughts and never to let
Them kind of thoughts gain ground
Or make yer heart pound
But then again you know why they're around
Just waiting for a chance to slip and drop down
