Lawrence

I feel like you, Lawrence that is, should get up to Scandinavia this summer, so we could have a Newschoolers meetup/party/story telling session.

Also what happened to Sweaty-balls?
 
Mine has special significance in the way that my dad bought it brand new back in the day, 50 years has revealed some of the brass under the black paint but despite a faded exterior it's still 100% flawless.

They knew how to build camera's in those days.

That would make sense, but where's all this money coming from? Parents maybe? He's got some nice shit, look at his desk setup! Those items total up to at least $2500.
 
i think he works at an architecture firm doing something. he could afford those things if it was a large/high end enough firm
 
Lawrence might possibly be my favourite NS member, especially since the show us your desk thread. the guy is living it.
 
From the desk setups thread when I asked the same question:

"I study stuff.

Don't have a dayjob, sometimes make a drawing for money.

Most of the furniture was giving too me by my parents who bought it new at some point in their life and handed it down to me, that's the thing about quality design furniture it lasts forever.

The desk is 30 years old.

The Eames chair is 16 years old.

One Tolomeo is 30 years old (with the foot, you can recognize the older design because it lacks an extra bend at the middle joint, it's less flexible then the newer one)

The other Tolomeo 20 years old.

The Kartell trolley is 8 years old.

Everything still looks great and timelessly modern.

I also have a Tizio and two Porsche desk lamps to swap around for some variation. "
 
Everything really, apart from rap and dub step, that's not music but noise.

I truly listen to a wide variety of music, from classical, to house and from Britpop to 90's one hit wonders (But who doesn't listen to those?)
 
I've been a big Genesis fan ever since I firt heard their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums, just listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
 
Lawrence, you definitely drive an Aston Martin Rapide and have a Porsche 959 sitting in the garage of your super modern house that has a ton of glass and right angles. You probably have wine and champagne older than you and hot European bitches that bring it to you.

That's how I feel you live.
