A Name for All, by Hart Crae
Moonmoth and grasshopper that flee our page And still wing on, untarnished of the name We pinion to your bodies to assuage Our envy of your freedom—we must maim Because we are usurpers, and chagrined— And take the wing and scar it in the hand. Names we have, even, to clap on the wind; But we must die, as you, to understand. I dreamed that all men dropped their names, and sang As only they can...

SOME THOUGHTS
I wrote an article for the Glasgow Uni Guardian. It was aimed at freshers and was a fairly basic piece talking about happenings with a diy ethos in Glasgow, specifically music. This is here for me to clear up some possible misconceptions.

May 18th
Not that this mess of a blog has a particularly clear purpose but yeah I haven’t had much time to update lately. I am, drowning in multitudes of shitty contexts and overly-wordy novels, so I can pass my literature quizzes. I’m also learning to play violin, and planning some collaborations with this fine man -> www.myspace.com/rickimp. Something moody and sparse. With video. This...

Cry Parrot: BIRTHDAY MADNESS TONIGHT + website... →
Our insane birthday show is finally upon us. … IN THE MAIN ROOM: ULTIMATE THRUSH – By far one of the most exciting bands in UK, never-mind Scotland.

Come.
