[Af_List] Spiral Control

[Sam Hamilton]

firstly, booooo.... what a stinker of a situation, my only hope is more
people are driven away of your class/uni as much as you are (emotionally i
mean, it seems to are hanging in there far more than most would, shit, i
admire your ability to even attempt working your way through that system, i
keep a fucking barge pole between myself and university for all of the
reasons your discovering, although i gotta say im hardly surprised that your
head is being forced up against that brick wall repeatedly but surely you
expected that would happen?)

stink buzz, i reckon the whole world would be a better place is we all
decided on a new word (secretively of coarse) for music so we could leave
"music" to the university stiffs walking around with carrots up their arse's
spouting rubbish about how it gives them the best posture to play piano in.

i agree that it would be way fucking cooler to have alternatives to the
classic music schooling system, or even just a music schooling system that
was open to the other %99 of possible other ways to make and listen to
music.
but i think the talented ones are the ones who realise that whole fucking
world drags music down and is worth just leaving behind and going off and
inventing your own world, context of expression and learning, your own peers
and your own system of values (and those you share with others to!, sharing
is a great part of musical communication).

simon, i think you should feed your "C" report thing through some clever
machine that turns the letters, font, style and text formatting stuff into
notation, timbre, rhythm etc and hand that in for your next assignment (if
of coarse you can resist the temptation to fold it into a paper airplane to
direct at the lecturers eye ball, which really, is the best value you can
get from a music degree isnt it?, if a music degree really meant anything,
truelly meant anything in the importants of music and sound, surely they
wouldn't fucking print it on paper... they'd give you aiff file with it
clearly translated into audio, or if your studying older classical music, a
wax cylinder and ethnomusicology degree's would be a piece of the lecturers
own skin dried and stretched for you to use as a membrane for a drum)

simon, i sincerely hope that by some marvelous fluke of nature, your
lecturer and work assessors realise their true passion is actually
typography and in a moment of pure genius, appoint you the head of the
Canterbury music department giving you full freedom to allow musical
education to flurish for the benefit of all with open ears
