it all sounds good in Cockney slang

The Streets, A Grand Don't Come For Free.

Backstory: in the summer of 2005, Aodhan was preparing for his 1st soccer season, & the Challenger folks came over to run some camps.

We signed him up, he had a blast, & we got to be friends w/ Matt & Stephanie, his 2 coaches.

Who, by the way, got married just a few weeks ago.

Anyway . . . .

I was playing Matt some crazy American non-mainstream music, & he asked if I was into The Streets, of whom, of course, I had never heard.

I ordered A Grand & Original Pirate Material


& thanked my man for days.

Great beat-heavy emotional cockney-rap.

Check it out, but it's got some of those "bad words," so be careful.

Oh, & we spent the 4th of July w/ these Brits, introducing them to s'mores (people in their 20s had never had s'mores . . . tragic.

& after we checked out some fireworks, I looked at them & said,

"HA! we won!!!"

Juniors:

"A Modest Quiz" & Matt Mortensen's analysis of the "Proposal."

You summarized the argument in terms of its intro, body, & ooutro.

You may have earned a few extra points by adding some CMs to those CDs.

We discussed a bit of Swift's style & presentation.

& REMEMBER: SWIFT IS NOT THE NARRATOR.

He created this amoral persona, but he did not embody it



Sophomores:

Unit 2 completing sentences & other vocab review.
