Blur man blasts state of exam system
Fri 08 Aug, 2008
Exactly what specification would this be then? My music GCSE, sat this year, was at the very least 30% based on skills that without any doubt require the ability to write music.Another 30% of my particular GCSE was based on reading and performing music and then an additional 15 was a further composition that could admittedly have been written without the ability to read music but by my calculations if I could read and write music the highest percentage I could have got in GCSE music would have been 25%, I'm no examnier but I assure you that is a long shot from an A.

New laws planned to stop 'dangerous teen trends'
Wed 23 Jul, 2008
"chavs for instance are actually causing alot of trouble within society"how is saying that any worse than stopping people from dressing as "emos" narrow-mindedess is not something to be proud of.Social stereotypng is hardly big news is it but BANNING a style of dress is just ridculous and let's be honest being emo really dosen't lead to anything does it. Contary to popular opinion it is perfectly possible to be depressed and not emo OR even emo and not depressed. Would you ever believe it?

I play the saxophone, and I very rarely vomit. It is a genius instrument anyway...ask David BowieThis may be why this man is in Super Furry Animals and not a band worth my time.

Genre blasted again after 13 year-old 'emo girl' commits suicide
Thu 08 May, 2008
Suicide is no easy way out, to be able to kill yourself you have to really want it. More than anything, human instinct won't let you kill yourself as a fashion statement, it just won't happen. Condolences to anyone who knew this girl, I can see why somebody would want to blame something that isn't real to them - like music but there is no way that a person could kill themselves through listening to emo music.

'A 50 year-old white man shouldn't decide whether we are relevant or not'
Fri 07 Dec, 2007
What the hell has age or colour got to do with relevance? It's a shame, I like Fall Out Boy but at the ripe old age of FIFTEEN I am already growing out of them, that dosen't seem like lasting forever to me. Maybe you do make good music but be a little less arrogant and self asmuing please, it's only decent.
Come back when you've learnt to start a sentance with a capital letter.
