There is, of course, junk food at the front of the room. Twinkies, Ho-Ho's, Doritos, Funyons, doughnuts, cinnamon buns, and bananas. Help yourself.

"Professor Ted's not here today, guys. He left me and Bridge in charge of the class. I would say fear but I'm a nice guy. I really am. Anyway, today's topic is The Uncharted Territories. What's an uncharted territory, you may ask? Exactly what it sounds like, dudes. Places, planets, species, stuff we haven't yet discovered. There's a whole universe out there filled with new and cool stuff!"

Discussion: "Let's say you're propelled into some part of space where no one has gone before. Perhaps you got there by a freak solar flare accident or teleportation or just really bad luck. The natives of said space are curious but wary. You have to explain the music of your world to them in fifteen words or less or they take you to their leader and bad things may happen. How would you explain your world's music?"

"Also, if you could, please hand in and present your interview assignments, dudes. Hope you didn't flake or Professor Ted might turn Professor Ninja on you."

"Lucas said that the modern music basics are electric guitar and bass, drums, sometimes a keyboard or a brass section. On rare instances, a violin or the like, or some more unusual percussion, like a tambourine or a cowbell. Most people around here must be thinking 'cowbell', well, Lucas insists that there must be `more cowbell`." Sawyer says in monotone.

"I imagine that, if we were to try and combine these things," Pip said. "The closest we could get to might be the Afro-Celt Sound System, which also makes use of 'exotic' percussion," Pip said. And will upload an MP3 once he is back home
