The reason for this pro· cedure may be gathered from what has been said of the "Tom Playfair" manuscript. St. Maure's is a pseudonym for a certain college in the West. Besides inventing incidents, the author, to suit his purpose, has on occasion taken liberties with the local surroundings; but in the main he has adhered to the prototype. It is almost needless to say that the real college never suffered from the effects of a thunderbolt; in fact, the "cupola," upon which turns a catastrophe recorded in these pages, was erected, not by an archi· tect, but by a few strokes of the pen. Near this Western college there is a village-a thriving, happy community. This village the au­ thor has eliminated from these stories. The village of St. Maure's, which takes its place, is a fiction. In drawing, with certain necessary reserves, upon his three years' experience at this Western college, £.he author has, perhaps, made too little of one strik­ ing feature-the manly piety of the students. In all his experiences there he could count upon his fingers those who, while in attendance, had evidently changed for the worse; and they were marked exceptions. It is hard upon seven years since the writer last saw" St. Maure's." Then it was just on this side of its pioneer days. Now it is a college with a history of which it may well be proud. The "old church building," the little boys' dormitory and wash· room, the long, low frame structure used as an in· tirmarv. are iOne; new and nobler piles nave arisen PREFACE. \n their place so that the college of to-day, as Peg­ gotty remarked, I believe, of her nephew, Ham, has '' growed out of knowledge"; and yet the sweet spirit of faith and prayer has abided unchanged amid all changes. The author has not seen these changes he is blessed in believing. Nor can he doubt, aside from all testimony, that the same spirit pervades them all. The JJial, a college paper conducted by the students, reaches him every month; and he can read in the lines and between the lines that the college of to-day and the college of seven years ago are one in that closest and most sacred ot moral unions-a true, devout, Catholic spirit.

IN WHICH T/IE HERO OF THE STORY IS REPRESENTED IN A DOUBTFUL L!Gll1: "TOMMY!" No answer. "Tommy-do you hear me? Get up this moment, sir. Do you think this house is a hotel? Every one's at breakfast except yourself." Miss Meadow, Tom Playfair'smaternal aunt, stood without the door of Master Playfair's sleeping apartment. She paused for a moment, partly to gain her breath (having come up three pairs of stairs to arouse Tom) and partly to await some reply from our sleeping hero. T!1e silence, however, was simply emphasized by the ticking of the great clock in the hall. "Tommy!" she resumed at length, in a higher key, " do you hear. me ?" Her strained ears caught the dull sound as of some one turning lazily in his bed. "Now you're awake, sir, jump right up, and dress for your breakfast." "Sho ! scat!" came a yawning voice from the room. 12 T01ll PLA YFAIR. "Dear me!" cried poor Miss Meadow, "the boy doesn't mind me in the least." "What's the trouble, Jane?" queried Mr. Playfair, who just then issued from his room. "I can't get that Tommy out of bed. He's grow­ ing worse every day, George. Last week he was late for school five times." "I'll fix that, Jane," said Mr. Playfair. And he took one step toward Tom's sleeping-room, when the door '>f that apartment opened a few inches, dis­ covering a young face peering anxiously from beneath a mass of tangled hair. "Pa," said the apparition, "I'm dressing just as fast as I know how. I heard you, auntie, and I'm coming right away." Then the door closed. Tom, it must be explained, had been composing himself for another nap, when the whispered dialogue between his aunt and his father had brought him out of bed with most un­ wonted celerity. The wily lad deemed it best not to wait for an order from his father. Hence the apparition. "If you are not at the breakfast table in two min­ utes, sir, you shall hear from me," and with these sternly delivered words Mr. Playfairconducted Misi Meadow to breakfast. Little more than a minute later, a stout, healthy, <lark-complexioned lad of ten emerged from his room ready and eager for the labor and heat of the day.

So, I’ll be candid in saying that this is my eighth attempt at writing it. I’ve started and stopped, deleted and retyped, closed my laptop and reopened it. Never in my life have I found it this difficult to write, never in my life has my body physically ached at the thought of sitting down and spending time in my own headspace. Right now, my headspace is the last place on earth I want to be. I’ve decided that this will be my last attempt at writing, and whatever comes out now will remain on the page. I am currently sitting on my couch under a pile of blankets, reclined back as far as my seat will allow me to go. My Amazon Alexa is belting music from an oldies playlist, and my dad is sitting at the kitchen table singing along to “December, 1963” by The Four Seasons as he works.

    26-02-2015 12:15 CET Norske Matoma har den mest delte låta globalt i Spotify Matoma (Tom Stræte Lagergren som han heter) har det siste året rukket å bli av de mest lovende og store norske artistnavnene internasjonalt. Siden han havnet på toppen av musikkbloggnettstedet Hypem.com og postet sine første remixer på musikknettstedet Soundcloud for et drøyt år siden, har tilbudene haglet mot den svært talentfulle 23 åringen fra Flisa. Hans første offisielle utgivelse (dvs på kommersiielle musikktjenester som Spotify, iTunes, WiMP, Deezer osv), en remix av den legendariske rapperen Notorious B.I.G sin låt "Old Thing Back", hadde før utgivelse svimlende 7 millioner avspillinger på Soundcloud - nå flyr den oppover listene internasjonalt og i Norge i rakst tempo. På den globale viral chart lista til Spotify (som viser de mest delte låtene i i verden på Spotify) ligger låta på 1.plass i skrivende stund. En svært imponerende bragd i seg selv, men enda mer imponerende når man ser på hvilke låter den ligger over (Blur. Florence + The Machine, Kendrick Lamar m.fl). Hør låta i Spotify: Matoma – Old Thing Back (feat. Ja Rule and Ralph Tresvant) Se innebygd innhold her Her i Norge har låta blitt streamet 100.000 ganger på en uke og ligger allerede #59 på Spotify's norske toppliste.

Be assured: this is not just a rehashing of old fare dished up between new covers, but is genuinely new food for thought and meditation. This study began when the publisher asked my father to consider revising Understanding Media for a second edition. When he decided to start on a book, my father began by setting up some file folders - a dozen or two - and popping notes into them as fast as observations or discoveries, large or small, occurred to him. Often the notes would be on backs of envelopes or on scraps of paper and in his own special shorthand, sometimes a written or dictated paragraph or two, sometimes an advertisement or press clipping, sometimes just a passage, photocopied from a book, with notes in the margin, or even a copy of a letter just sent off to someone, for he would frequently use the letter as a conversational opportunity to develop or 'talk out' an idea in the hope that his correspon• dent would fire back some further ideas or criticism.

    “Ready To Die” 1994–2017 MA CCC CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS 1 F.Sargentone march 2017 ed: /2 2 READY TO BE The Anti-Cinematographic eye Writing an introduction to this publication has probably been one of the most difficult things I have ever done in the recent years. I thought it could have been easy to talk about one of the most influential records of the whole music history. It turned out that this loose, A5 –sized, home printed book- let is the only existing monographic work on Notorius B.I.G.’s Ready To Die. By stating this at the beginning of the sup- posed dissertation, I want to make sure that the reader could read these lines as the raw output of a deep, although instinc- tive, research on one of the milestones of hip-hop cultural history. The research pro- cess, of which this booklet testifies the ma- terial result, has been spontaneous, in the sense that did not started as a canonical research question, but instead it happened a posteriori, being the record a very famil- iar matter for me since ages. As you will see, the lyrics of the songs contained within Ready To Die are formal- ly printed –without any additional editing– from RapGenius, a world famous website collecting lyrics and anecdotes of hip-hop songs from users. The oral history com- ponent of this platform is an essential el- ement shared with early hip-hop culture, in which realities existed and formalised themselves only via word of mouth or so- cio-cultural affinity with the hip-hop phe- nomenon.
