Megan and Phoebe continued to do their jobs at Dinkles, Megan in the day, Phoebe in the night. But they couldn’t have been less present. That was par for the course for Megan, always one to phone it in. But even Phoebe, who lived every note she played, found herself drifting off in the middle of sets, her muscle memory and lower parts of her brain keeping the music going as her thoughts turned, again and again, to Megan. Even Joy couldn’t make much of a dent in the pleasure that filled Phoebe’s mind at the knowledge she’d soon be back in Megan’s arms and lips. Albums similar to or like Waiting for the Punchline.

Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. The Clown and the Prodigy. Megan Hunter pressed her legs together, trying to shut down her need to pee. It wasn’t working. She’d made the mistake of sucking down a full can of coke in the ten-minute morning break and then straight into double maths. Most days, she could have simply stuck her hand up and asked for a pass. But the maths teacher was Mr Kane. And everyone knew that Mr Kane did not believe in the concept of a comfort break. He’d explained that on day one to the new first years at Harewood Comprehensive School, two weeks ago. ‘There are allotted breaks to use the toilet. If you don’t have the sense to go then, don’t make that my problem. I have a lesson plan and it will not be derailed by a weak bladder.’ Despite the overwhelming shock of being plunged into Big School, it was quickly and wholly understood among the first years that Mr Kane was a dick. But that knowledge was no use to Megan as she tried to take her mind off the desperate need to urinate. She considered taking a chance, pleading her case with Mr Kane, hoping that there was a scrap of clemency in him for her suffering. But in the end, she didn’t raise her hand. There were two things that kept it down. The first was an early cynicism, a sureness that the request would turn out badly. The second reason was the risk of humiliation in front of the class if she were told off for asking. Megan liked to think that it was the first reason that was strongest, but the truth was, the second held more sway. Megan was not fond of people looking at her, judging her, making her feel stupid and silly. She was getting enough of that at home, currently. No, she’d just have to push through it, use every bit of will she had, which was more than a lot of other girls, Megan had decided. They all seemed to have it so easy, with their nice pencil cases (filled with all manner of equipment that included a fountain pen, the height of fanciness) and proper uniforms that didn’t contain even one bit of second hand clothing. Looking around as she undid her belt to allow a few centimetres of relief for her screaming bladder, she felt bitterness seep into her soul at the implied simplicity of their neat little lives. If it wasn’t enough that her shoes were from a charity shop and her trousers had once belonged to an older cousin and that her frizzy dark blonde hair refused to behave itself, now she was suffering through the indignity of trying to keep from pissing herself in public. Life, Megan knew at the tender age of twelve, was rubbish. Megan couldn’t wait for childhood to be over. Probably when her period came, that’s when this terrible phase of life would end. She’d be more confident, better looking, cleverer. She’d be a woman and she’d leave this scruffy, clumsy child behind. Three seats across from Megan sat another girl, Phoebe Fitzgerald. She was one of the girls that Megan would probably imagine sailed through life in all the ways she didn’t.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
