Comment:

The title comes from the routine that took place every Thursday during the final semester at university. It started late on Wednesday, where I would compile and make the tape. During the first free period I would sit in the humanities cafe and make the tape cover and write the tracklisting. During the second free period I would add or amend anything to the cover that needed changing. In the third free period I would walk to the cashpoint and back to the cafe listening to the tape, and then after lectures had finished, I would walk to the union newspaper office and listen to the rest of the tape on the union balcony outside the fourth floor office during cigarette breaks.
The title also gave me a convenient excuse to use a picture of the band Thursday with their heads decapitated and stuck on spikes. A rare pleasure but one I heartily reccommend.
