Fuck the System
I passed both my fucking subjects this semester. Even got an H3 in one of them. I can't believe it. The system doesn't work. Thank fucking Christ for that.
This is a complete and utter slap in the face to those who bust a gut and study hard at uni. I'm actually proud of myself for some twisted reason. This is the biggest win I've had in ages. Please, dear readers, allow me some bragging rights just this once.

Uninteresting Things
I think this is the first time i've ever chronicled the ridiculous things I do when surfing the net. With all my spare time I've got now, this is what I have been "investigating." Following from unhealthy fascination with the 80s, I'm an avid collector of chip tunes, most notably those using the Commodore 64 SID chip. So, when I found out about the Timbaland "Acid Jazzed Evening" controversy, I was instantly intrigued. Timbaland is the name of a music producer who has a string of hits to his name. However, it seems Mr. Land has ripped off a SIDtune and claimed it as his own work.
When you play the offending track and GRG's .sid cover (a chiptune maker and demoscener) you will quickly realize the melodies are virtually identical. Unfortunately, might is right in the dog-eat-dog music industry. With Tempest being an outsider having no credentials might as well shout from the top of his YouTube comment box that he was the original artist and bask in electronic kudos while Timbaland shrugs off the misspelt scorn.
I sincerely hope Roadrunner Records don't dog me so I can land the biggest interview of my short (yet surprising) music journalism career. You'll just have to guess who it might be!
