For whatever reason it was decided that it would be a collaboration between the whole class and everyone would turn in their own mix. The professor decided to allow the class to decide as a group what the genre would be and whose song they would use. + + Despite the entire class consisting of guys who play guitar, no one had the guts to suggest a genre offhand. The biggest slacker of them all, a white kid with dreadlocks who had missed half the classes, half-heartedly suggested reggae, an offer which the teacher accepted. + + The teacher asked for people to volunteer their songs. Again, no one was ballsy enough to speak up - Scott was one of the few who had written a song from time to time, but since his usual faire is stuff about death, loss of innocence, and [[track:fruity-pebbles-jingle|Fruity Pebbles]], he thought maybe it was best to abstain from this poll. Songwriting duties were given to a black-haired faux-goth at the back of the room who claimed to have written “a lot of songs" but that they were all “just lyrics" and no music. + + This should have been a red flag to the earnest professor, who spent the next couple of days matching her “song" to music. The entire class found itself sitting in on the extra-spooky recording sessions for her love song to the undead titled “Falling for Ghosts" in what was the invention of the new genre Emo Reggae. + + On the last day of class, everyone showed up with a CD containing their own personal mix of the song. It must have been monotonous sitting there hearing “Falling for Ghosts" over and over with little-to-no variation between versions… except of course for this one with some SCARETACULAR additional material which Scott decided to record and add in at the last second. + + TL;DR when you get to the 3 minute mark, everything will suddenly make sense. + + <i>Scott Stutzman:</i> + I did a mix of a classmate's song as a school project. (I added a little somethin' to the middle. I don't think she liked it.) +--- Track: Featherlight Artists: - Toris Crow |
