Beyond The Big (Study) Rave




As the anniversary of the inaugural study rave draws near I would like to mark that momentous day spent lazying outside the reading room. What is a study rave I hear you ask? I now share with you the secret recipe...

Ingredients: One bench, one sunny April day, evidence notes, economics stuff, a hint of exam pressure, music, suitable amplification device, numerous passers-by, sun visor/jacket and one Dj .

Method: Place the study materials, exam pressure and disgruntled student in an overheated and crowded room. Bring to the boil and wait until they can't take anymore. Add the sunny day and the temptation to just sack it off for the day. Gently work in the outdoor bench. Leave to set for half an hour. By now, what earlier looked like a complete mess has started to take shape. Now mix in some fine background music selected by Eóin. Note the resurgence of productivity in the once written off day. Finally, throw in some banter with some passers-by and there you have it.

I know this was played:

Junior Boys - In The Morning(Hot Chip Remix)

  1. Unreal tune that. Been number one in my bag o' wax for some time now. Just a pity they didn't put in more of the vocals from the original track.
