There is a distinct lack of Twinkies at the front of the classroom today. Instead, there are Twinkies strategically placed around the room in areas that are open, visible and would be easy to expose a would be Twinkie thief.

"Professor Ted's still out and we're still talking about music of the Uncharted Territories today. It's almost had to have discussion on this type of music since we really don't know what's out there and what different sounds we might hear. It could be the same, it could be different, it could be damaging to our ears, it could be beyond our comprehension, and it could really stink."

Today's Assignment: Keeping with our last assignment about describing ourselves to natives who don't know us or our music, today's assignment is to tell the class what musicians or pieces of music do you think natives that have never been exposed to your music before would react best towards? What about the musicians or pieces of music that would garner the most negative reactions?"

"Also, if you haven't already, please turn in your homework from last class period."

"And if any of you happen to see the Twinkie stealer, let me know."

Xander does not sign in. Because he's not in this class, so that would be weird.

Today's Assignment!

What musicians or pieces of music do you think natives that have never been exposed to your music before would react best towards? What about the musicians or pieces of music that would garner the most negative reactions?"

"Elvis Costello as his music best displays the characteristics of the human condition," Sam says. Normally he would point at something more classical, but he didn't want to attract any more attention.

"As for music that would garner the most negative reactions, I would have to say anything of the Teeny-Bop Boy/Girl Band genre."

"Elvis Presley, everyone likes Elvis! And plus, he's got all sorts of sounds, from Rock to R&B, he's an all around good guy." he thinks about the second question, "Erm, probably some death metal or something. The stuff Ted plays? Yeah, that would scare the crap out of anyone that hasn't heard it before."

Re: Today's Assignment!

"Everybody loved the Beatles, right? So I guess that would get the best reactions. I would play, um, "In My Life" or "Hey Jude," Angela said thoughtfully. "For the worst reaction ... I dunno, I used to work in a record store and people always said they liked all music "except rap or country." So, either really fast gangsta rap, or really twangy country would probably annoy the most people."

"I think some instrumental stuff might work well. Lyrics might get in the way or be kind of off-putting, so stuff without any words might be best. Maybe even classical stuff."

Bridge does a headstand.

"Well. It really depends on the kind of culture they're from. Like, um, when Aquitians first heard Earth music? They totally, like, fell in love with Black Sabbath. And they hated the Backstreet Boys. Triforians, on the other hand, refuse to listen to any musical group that consists of less than three people. But as for genre they weren't really picky."
