ask cozen

adam skilla,

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

please,
cozen

yes

cozen,

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

yours truly,

amateurist

dear cozen,

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

sincerely

Ronan.

amst,

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

cozen,

suave! goddam, you're one suave fucker!

love,

amateurist

amst,

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

ps. yr posts sounds like a d.hopper (in 'blue velvet') kinda statement.

yr post, yr POST &c...

love.

dear 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

dear cozen,

What other german minimal techno do you approve of?

SEX MIT M. MAYER,
RSG

Dear Cozen,

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

Love
Tim

nggggggggggh, I was so drunk last night.

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

dearest 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

dear Cozen
I am not familiar with ender's game unless you mean the Sci fi novel, which I am also unfamiliar with.
crumbs,
RSG

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

Dear Cozen,
YES you should.
hell yes,
RSG
p.s. Do you have any experience with flooding? I have.

RSG,

no experience with flooding, no. well...

well,
cozen.

Dear Cozen,
Life here = suck. Is life where you are acceptable?
Suckily,
RSG

RSG,

I'm sorry to hear about your equation. :/

life here is pretty good at the moment, full of small, private joys.

in apologia,
coizen

dere 'fans',

cozen

cozen,

RJG

RJG,

cozen

Cozen, is there any other music that has people rapping over those fanfares in the Trigg & Meth track from Lord of the Decks?

ms. l

lauren,

haha no no, not at all. pas de tout. I didn't even realise it wasn't me who didn't say goodbye.

I won't take ketamine, I was joking.

yrs,
cozen

Dearest Cozen,

Would a thread on ILE about the 2002 John Polson film "Swimfan" garner any replies at all?

Yours,

A Chord Change

I'd reply.

dear cozen,

i logged in to tell you this, it took ages because they seemed to think my email address was already taken. well i hope this works.
