No idea if it's even going to sound good, but my room mate really wanted to throw a party, so I'm going along with it.
Gave me excuse to clean the apartment. The quincy is more exciting though.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, the quincy does sound more exciting.

EADGCFBb 01-09-2010 04:35 PM

So about this place still existing

why?

No kidding.
I've decided to throw another party next week, which will just be camping themed. I'll invite way fewer people, cause I don't really like a ton of the folk that are coming tonight, and we will hang out in the quincy, and cook hot dogs in the fireplace.

and wear plaid.
and fleece.
and everyone but me has to sleep on the floor.

What've you been up to?

I read the 13 Crosses thread today. That's why not.


I've started the second half of my 3rd year. Hitting the composition and orchestral arranging hard this year. I also started taking piano lessons. Looking into moving downtown, and teaching some bass lessons.

The 13 Crosses thread was hilarious. Easily the most fun that's ever been had on this forum.

Teaching bass is great if you can find the students. I got a job teaching bass and guitar but bass students are very scarce compared to guitar, which is a shame really, 'cause the guitar teaching kind of has to carry it otherwise it wouldn't be feasible as a primary source of income. I was pretty excited about it at the start but now I'm gonna give it a few months and move on to something else if it hasn't picked up.

I'll start teaching guitar too, eventually.

Judging by the amount of activity around here, yes they are.

In all seriousness, condolences for your lost song.

3-week winter courses are ridiculous. I have a final this week and an 8-page paper due on the following prompt:


Modern American history was a period of considerable intellectual, religious, and political ferment. It saw the emergence of new denominations, millennialism, Darwinism, Higher Criticism, feminism, the Social Gospel, and fundamentalism. These develops created a rift in the American religious landscape between liberal and conservative trends, but also, on occasion, encouraged novel syntheses. Write a paper that illustrates and explains one or several facets of this period. You may want to focus on religious divergence and conflict by comparing and contrasting two movements, denominations, or events. Or, you may want to write a paper that illustrates the reconciliation and synthesis of these trends. Or you may want to shoot yourself now for spending $1500 on this class.

Sounds harcore and more interesting than my course - could i get a copy of you paper when you're finished?

My last essay was **** and was just basically, "write 2000 words about empowerment".

PaulSimonon 01-11-2010 01:39 PM

What's life like, MXicans?



First post of the new year, wtf. Have I really been watching these forums for 6 years?

I really don't plan on writing anything worthwhile, and I'm not as proficient with my papers as some of the others on this forum (Funky & Ben come to mind), but sure.

I'm actually not even fully sure I understand the prompt, so I'm going to attempt compare and contrast feminist movements and Darwinism and see what happens.

8 pages will be the longest paper I've ever written. Gah.

Convectuoso 01-11-2010 03:16 PM

Lol same casual page for like 3 days almost.

I'm coming up with a trifold "6-panel" cd booklet for our band's demo. They think it's ridiculous that I want to name our demo/EP and put a booklet with pictures and lyrics in it, but I think it's relatively inexpensive (I have the ability to do up to 1000 booklets for only $20) and will really bump up the professionalism for when we send off copies to local radio stations, venues, etc.

What do you think? Am I taking it too far with putting a title on the demo and a booklet in the sleeve?

Efrim 01-11-2010 06:03 PM

lime leaf=best ingredient

fatbandit 01-11-2010 06:15 PM

Depends dude. I mean we've done two demos so far. The first one was with proper art front and back, colour printed CD, jewel cases, and a booklet - though it was only a 2 page booklet :p I liked the product, for how much we spent on it and what it was.

The second one featured (IMO) better songs, more of them, better quality recordings... But we released it online as a digital download, in a zip file with the CD art. But nothing physical. And despite it being a better EP, I didn't like it as much because it wasn't done 'properly'. So I'd say always do it to the best of your ability.

We're planning out the art/layout/typography for our debut album pretty much as we speak, and it's gonna be quite cool. We'll get an 8 page booklet which is nice. Nothing revolutionary or groundbreaking, but it'll be a sweet product! We'll get distribution into North America too, so if you fancy popping into a shop to buy it when it's done... ;)
