ask cozen

I... don't know.

apologies,
cozen.

jocelyn,

huh?

hm,
cozen

how does school go? you're in school right?

amateurist

it is ok, yeah. I am in school, it's almost over and it is kinda patronisingly easy. basically, this year is some money-spinning scam on behalf of the universities. they don't seem to care about y'know learning and teaching.

cozen.

huh?

no no, I quite like it. well, in moderation. it's nice to take a walk down by the harbour, some times. have you been to aberdeen.

eternally confused,
cozen

jed,

why u break heart all the time?

cozen

jocelyn

Put the caps on, Garu.

I will eat a cornetto for you.

xxox,
cozen

do you think it's very fair that bagel shops sell a "plain" bagel and an "egg" bagel - the former is 20¢ cheaper, and the only difference between the two is yellow food coloring?

sincerely,
mandee

that is not fair, no. go cinnamon & raisin, instead.

bagel bagel,
cozen

I dunno. it depends how they've done. do you got a picture? is it dorky or is it "funny"?

dorky Vs. "funny",
cozen

do you go to u of r? is tht were j.williams goes too? in fact, where is j.williams? did he ban himself?

cozen

will you eat wine gums for me? They are now inconsistent with my nutritional goals.

best

Drew

Have you ever had any experience with cancer? Or the cancer of a family member?

Love,
Ian

I don't really... like wine gums. but I might go eat some today to see if maybe my taste buds have changed thr mind.

maynards,
cozen
ps. I got my haircut

ian,

yeah, it's tough, well, I ws v.young and I lost my gran to cancer. bt it has had a v.lasting impression on me via my parents and other family members reactions and feelings. hang in there, dude :/

xoxx,
cozen

i recommend marks & spencer brand red & black winegums. you don't have to pick over the other flavours - they've done the hard work for you.

lots of love,
lauren

you are a treat, as ever. I have been slacking on the e-mail front lately forshame :/

I met a girl.

kind regards,
cozen

that totally rules! buy her some winegums.

xoxo,
lauren

ps- april 15th??

why are the tracks on Lord Of The Decks truncated? is it so I will buy it? I tried to buy it, hard, it amazed me. I couldn't anywhere selling it.

how do you feel about sega? rougelikes?

tell us about the girl, ludicly.

greg

Hotheadz only make so many of them and they are only sold through independent stockists. Try Ebay.

It's "truncated" because it's a mixtape!

skilla is right. they are truncated cs fr some reason when toby translated them to me via mp3 they wr unmixed even tho they shd be mixed. but you don't lose much. the girl, well... who knows, suffice to say she is supercute and awesome both.

yyyyyours,
d or c d or c

the 15th! the 15th!!!

finally,
cozen

will you copy the garage DVDs for me (aim high v.2, lord of the mics &c.)?

please,
cozen

what are wine gums? are they for alcoholics who are suffering from gingivitis?

yours truly,

amateurist

do you think if michael mayer plays "brutalaga square" that jed might breakdance again? (I hear stories)

sincerely

Ronan.

wine gums are gummy sweets, tht have really tenuous connections to wine. they are tasty, I guess, but they make my teeth hurt.

cavitied,
cozen

ronan,

if m.mayer plays 'brutalga square' there is every chance that the glasses on the bar will shatter, the stools and tables will buckle, people will shed teeth, the hour hand will move perceptibly, my legs will be ringed w.corposant, cricket commentators will begin swearing, some revelation will be at hand, the Second Coming will be at hand, I will lose my edge, and, yeah, jed WILL breakdance.

I cannot wait,
cozen

suave! goddam, you're one suave fucker!

love,

amateurist

thank you. I don't like tht the noise board seems to annoy you and tht you seem to annoy the noise board but I live w.it. I like you both. maybe some day j.williams, d.gulberry, m.cutty, n.skilla, h.stencil, l.podis ETC will come to scotland, and maybe some day we will all meet. I wd like that.

I wd really like that,
cozen

i would love to come to scotland. i may try when the baseball season's over. we should meet up at optimo, right?

best,

hstencil

who are you? also

What other german minimal techno do you approve of?
(I heart Reinhard Voigt's Hier Und Jetzt)

SEX MIT M. MAYER,
RSG

How is yr day job going? And do you have any more writing in the pipelines?

Love
Tim

hstencil,

me, you, optimo.

dance maniac,
czn

stars so tiny,

I am a scottish writer / lawyer. I approve of dj koze's "brutalga square". it's not strictly 'minimal' but, as I said above, it is a table buckler.

swash buckler,
czn

t.finney,

my day job is still student by and large. I don't start my training contract 'til 2006 ("year out"). I do have more writing coming yeah: the fall, as I've said before, M.I.A., "teaching, law" (an editorial on the deficits of teaching law) and more. I will keep you updated of writing.

love,
cozen

the noise board does not annoy me (hm i have a particular buzzcocks song in my head now CAN YOU GUESS WHICH).

and yes, it was a blue velvet reference.

finally, a question: is scotland east or west of the hudson?

amateurist

of course, it, scotland, is both.

specious,
cozen

dear RSG,

I haven't read it either but yes I was referring to orson scot card's novel "ender's game". I was given it by a girl so maybe I should read it.

y'know,
cozen

are you still coming to dublin in june?

is mise le meas,

Ronan

dear cozen,

do you think you'll ever feel less harsh towards fruit pastille ice lollies?

le grá,

Ronan.

RJG, you can come visit me in vancouver. I have a great uncle, apparently, his teeth whistle and he taps his fingers constantly. love, cozen. ps. look out for mail

mark p, I fly in on the thursday, I'll be in gerona from 5pm. I don't know anyone else who is going, so I will be a. bewildered b. lonely and so c. up for a party. I'll drop you a line. nik "tannenbaum" schmidt said he was going too, I should drop him a line. I need to arrange accomodation, I presume you have done so? cozen

lauren, the opportunity presented itself! actually I dunno, mark just kinda suggested it would be something that would be possible and so like the sheep I always am I went along with it. I'm supposed to write about, that should be fun. love, cozen. ps why you no e-mail no more? : / I know I know, I don't either

ronan, you are quite obviously a saint and tht ws a nice wee jaunt for ice pastille lollies. I will eat them, once in a while, during the summer, to remind me of good times that were and maybe good times to come. love, cozen

i ran out of things to say.

but maybe, i'll think of some more.

xoxo

I just left my room, for the first time, today, only to find a jiffy bag, with my name on it.
