Why the hell are you going to a local council meeting?

Allow me to take straight from the assignment instructions to answer that question.

Attend a local authority meeting and write up your impressions. Include in your answer: the purpose of the board, name the trustees/community board members present/ who was the chairperson/what did they discuss/what is one issue that was important to the board and provide details/ were other members of the public there/ what was their role/ what was the atmosphere like-formal or informal/ did you find the meeting interesting or difficult to follow/why/ and try to write down your main impression or what struck you as funny or out-of-the-ordinary.

WHAT THE FUCK?

 

[Axver]

Ian, it sounds like you're back in grade nine.

What the hell is that for?!

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah. So I like Screwtape's idea of uploading a disc with 3-5 artists to share amongst ourselves, so that people get a better introduction to a particular band.

It is a good idea. I'd love to make up some Velvet Underground/Bowie/Blur/whatever mixes for people.

Principles of News Journalism.

There's a second part of the assignment also designed to test my research skills rather than anything else - and they say in the instructions we should be able to find it all on the internet.


AND THIS IS A 40% ASSIGNMENT.


This is fucking retarded.

I'm trying to think of what bands to use. I've already pushed PT, and for PRR you really need the album context as their songs tend to segue in and out of each other.

Maybe I'll go for some of my obscure Kiwi bands or something.

Way to teach you nothing.

But then, I feel like most of the shit I'm doing now is teaching me nothing, just adding little bits and pieces to my general knowledge cache without enhancing my skills in any tangible way.

I've always wanted to know who the hell The Shadows are.

 

[coolian2]

I'm feeling in the same boat.

This will probably be the most useful skills assignment for the year, yet it's something we should already know.

Really they should be asking us to follow up on things raised in the meeting for the research part of the assignment, instead of something vastly different.

All i really have to do is take notes for about 40 minutes and come home again.

 

[coolian2]

I could always do with more PT Ax.

 

[Axver]

I've always wanted to know who the hell The Shadows are.

The most famous pre-Beatles band in England, for one! Their instrumental rock is just awesome.

I feel like I'm just doing the same thing over and over again, and that points we already know are re-emphasised. But it seems some people are staggeringly stupid and that even in their third year cannot figure out how to use the LIBRARY for research or correctly do footnotes and bibliographies. For fuck's sake, people, it's not rocket science.

But do they sound anything like Radiohead?

Oh for shits sake. That's just crazy. I admit i don't do my bibliography 100%, but that's because i can't be fucked putting the indentation in the right place and nobody has pulled me up on it yet.

But i'm hoping that by the end of this year i won't have to push out 2500 word essays again. How many times do we need to prove we can regurgitate information?

I suppose at least i have 'real' assignments in my other classes to an extent, but usually they all are going to need some over-researched essay at some stage.

 

[Screwtape2]

I for one would love an introduction to The Shadows.

 

[Axver]

But do they sound anything like Radiohead?

I can't believe that they had a number of #1 singles. Nowadays, their music would never get near the charts. I don't get why people have gone off instrumentals.

Bookmarked.


Shit yeah. Thanks

 

[LemonMelon]

Axver, I need recommendations for really bad, hilariously-cliched death metal, stat. Give me your worst. I need to get started on some Octavium lyrics soon, especially if we're kicking off DI5 as early as late summer.

It drives me mad that one of my tutors actually had to go over the use of apostrophes in a third year tutorial because that many people in the class didn't fucking get it. WHAT DID YOU PEOPLE DO IN HIGH SCHOOL? It's maddening to have to hear this over and over again.

I keep on having to write 2,000 word essay after 2,000 word essay. It's doing my head in. It's so blandly repetitive, and the veneer of originality expected for a top mark is laughable at best. I'm only interested when I get to do work on New Zealand, as most of the fields I specialise in there are woefully under-researched, so I feel like what I'm doing has tangible use beyond just getting a good mark.

Because the world would be a dark, dreary place without brilliant lyrics like these:

I've never actually listened to Cannibal Corpse. Look up the lyrics and you will see why.

Children Of Bodom's latest album or two are terrible as well.

... holy shit. And people listen to that?

Khia's My Neck, My Back is still worse, though.

Thanks. I'm going to brush up on some Mars Volta for musical inspiration.

They're shockingly similar. Khia's is far more disgusting, however.

How about Chainsaw Gutsfuck by Mayhem?

Bleed down to the fucking core
You're going down for fucking more
Screw your slimy guts
Driving me fucking nuts!

Chainsaw in my bleeding hands
As I start to cut you in two
Your guts are steaming out
And I just love the sight!

Maggots crawling in her cunt
I just love to lick that shit
Bury you in a slimy grave
You will rot forever there!

 

[Screwtape2]

So I made a couple prog CD's for my dad and he loved Benighted by Opeth. Prog is not dead no matter what he used to think.

 

[Axver]

Khia's is just ... vile. I'm yet to hear a song worse. I mean, sure, there are goregrind bands out there singing far worse things, but it has a conscious shock element.

OMG...there are so many twisted bastards out there. I need to mix in some plain ol' emo too, but I have my based covered in that department. That fuckin' genre is everywhere.

 

[Axver]

SCREW YOUR SLIMY GUTS
DRIVING ME FUCKING NUTS!



I bet they thought they were really clever and bringing the lulz when they wrote that too.

 

[LemonMelon]

hahaha I found the song...

You can't hear a damn thing he says.
