Great job, but you got some points taken off for the "overly sterile to
the point of sounding like satire of elitists who over intellectualize a
bunch of queer noises" mood you've given this piece.  you need to work on
"humanizing" your work so that the dumb kids don't giggle or get angry at
you.  you get a B+, though, mostly based on effort.

Next week's assignment:  a 3 page essay on one of the following topics:
(1) How does the music of Aphex Twin figuratively represent the dillemma
of the monkey's choice of the cloth mother and the wire mother?, (2)
Compare/Contrast the need for an "Andy + Ed vs. Ken" debate (as shown by
that thread's continued spawning on this list) with the need for a "Owen
Heart vs. Jason Sensation" debate (as shown by the continued purposeless
appearances of Jason Sensation on WWF Raw is War) or (3) Why has it taken
the musicians and fans of IDM to publicly state that mullets are just
ridiculous?
