The UCL experience
“Pi Magazine, struggling to fill space in the music section with anything approaching meaningful content, requested I make a playlist of UCL alumni. So here it is - a mishmash of songs I don’t particularly like, alongside people who went to UCL for about a week collected in one tiny playlist for your listening pleasure.
Suede - We are the Pigs
Basement Jaxx - Where’s Your Head...

Jorge Luis Borges - The Circular Ruins
The man emerged from sleep one day as if from a viscous desert, looked at the vain light of afternoon, which at first he confused with that of dawn, and understood that he had not really dreamt. All that night and all day, the intolerable lucidity of insomnia weighted upon him. He tried to explore the jungle, to exhaust himself’ amidst the hemlocks, he was scarcely able to manage a few...

Lawrence Ferlinghetti - Alienation: Two Bees
I came upon them in the cabin-
the angry one at the window
and the old bent one on the bed
the one at the window buzzing & buzzing
beating its wings on the window
beating the pane
the one on the bed
the silent one with the bent frame
alone on the...

DREAM POEM
I know what you’re thinking
it’s dull unless they’re sex dreams
dreams about violent murders
mine are pretty banal
I dreamed I wrote a poem beginning “Hi!” and ending “See You Later!”
the middle part was amazing
that’s the part I don’t remember
I was sitting on a platform high above the jungle
this all feels really familiar...

ANXIOUS POOH SONG
3 Cheers for Pooh!
(For Who?)
For Pooh-
(Why what did he do?)
I thought you knew;
He saved his friend from a wetting!
3 Cheers for Bear!
(For where?)
For Bear-
He couldn’t swim,
But he rescued him!
(He rescued who?)
Oh, listen, do!
I am talkin of Pooh-
(Of who?)
Of Pooh!
(I’m sorry I keep forgetting).
Well, Pooh was a Bear of Enormous Brain-
(Just say it again!)
Of...

Norton Juster - The Phantom Tollbooth
Milo and Tock wandered up and down the aisles looking at the wonderful assortment of words for sale. There were short ones and easy ones for everyday use, and long and very important ones for special occasions, and even some marvelously fancy ones packed in individual gift boxes for use in royal decrees and pronouncements.
“Step right up, step right up - fancy, best-quality words right...
