Change and Essays

Posted on 20 December 2006. Filed under: Blogging |

Uh…yeah. Just a quick message about recent goings on. First of all.. I just posted two essays about music that I completed for my degree. This may actually be illegal as I have a feeling that my Uni owns publishing rights to them. Also, it might flag up the fact that I actually [...]

Yo. More essay for you. This one was for a course on Art and Anti-Art. Though I just wrote about music and ownership. Again, my views have changed since I wrote this. But still…sometimes it’s good to get a bit of perspective.
More essays will follow. Unless someone complains that I’m boring. In which case [...]

Music is Noises – An Essay from my Degree Studies

Posted on 20 December 2006. Filed under: Uncategorized |

The following is an essay I wrote fora course while at university. The course was Interrogating objects and the task was just to write about an object and what it ‘meant’. The course was nonsense (cultural studies) but fun in extremis. I enjoyed writing this essay. It may have errors, inconsistencies or innaccuracies caused by [...]

    • And then twitter cocked it so that my explanation was delayed and now I look like a big Jodie Marsh fan. Oopsy 15 hours ago
    • For the record, I only retweeted that because I misread it as saying Richey Edwards was on BBLB. Now THAT would be a turn up for the books. 15 hours ago

    • @beatonna To be fair. It should never've had to be. For shorter forward thinking of that era go for the Diggers. fhttp://tinyurl.com/26bfz2 16 hours ago

    Alabaster Crippens doesn't entirely believe in objective truth, therefore he can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of any statement, image or impression caused by, or displayed on, these pages of the so called 'internet'. He does however not want to get sued, even if the lawyers, legal system, and the concept of jurisprudence doesn't exist. Therefore if you believe the nonsense posted on here you do so entirely at your own risk. In other words: Don't sue me 'cause I might not mean it. Basically, anything you hear from anyone is unreliable, so if you want the 'truth' you need the perspectives of as many people as you can get..ideally people who are trustworthy and close to the particular 'truth' you wish to inspect. If you start trusting idiots with silly (and obviously made up) names then you're developing some kind of problem. Check your sources, examine their own politcal (or other) motivation, remember that anything people say is opinion unless you are certain that they speak the 'truth'. Even your own eyes can lie. Trust me on that one. Or don't..it doesn't bother me. Finally, everything written here is, to the best of my knowledge written by me and I reserve my right to be recognised as the author of these works. Any input from other sources should be clearly shown, if you note a mistake or anything..tell me..I'll try and sort out the problem. Please ask me if you want to use anything for commercial reasons...I probably won't mind but I need to know I'm not supporting anything I don't want to support. This is an attempt at a legal notice written without legal knowledge. Just follow the principles, I think most of you get what I mean, even if it won't stand up in a court of law. Just be polite you know...like in the good ole days.
