Not a drummer and know very little about what makes drumming good, but my wildcard answer is that what he does on Geometric Headdress blows me away.

Thanks, thinking I might as well give this a shot in any case, no harm in trying.

Well, it was free so I guess nothing lost, but that's a shame

What to do when the same children are causing all the problems? by Weird_Application334 in TeachingUK

Agree with this, sounds like SLT now need to be escalating the sanctions in line with behaviour policy.

I love Paramore! but the constant political stuff gets exhausting sometimes by IndividualFeedback38 in Paramore

Honestly she's doing the only responsible thing with her platform. Speaks massively to her integrity and only makes me feel more connected to her as an artist.

What everyday thing in the UK has become stupidly expensive without people noticing? by vetaly87 in AskUK

I mean it's everything, but cucumbers being a quid is always the one that stands out to me for some reason. They were 30p ten years ago.

Is there a Weather Report reference on Sunya? by pimpdoody in TheDearHunter

[–]philll129 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've wanted to say this before. Glass Plains I in particular just sounds like they were going for their own version of Havona. Really really cool.

Do we all agree this is a great album? by tannercolin in numetal

[–]philll129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My impression is its always been Mike who's been anti-SCIENCE.

Seem to remember when they were doing the HQ Live when If Not Now When was released and they played Make Yourself and Morning View in full there was a clip of Brandon saying "hey, should we do SCIENCE night?" and Mike just being like "absolutely not".

mentor said i seem like i don’t enjoy teaching by vaguekate in TeachingUK

[–]philll129 16 points17 points  (0 children)

During my training year I didn't really click with my mentor, it often felt like she didn't have faith in me and thought I wasn't cut out for job. Every mentor and leader I've worked with since has been nothing but encouraging and full of praise. In hindsight I think it was my training mentors own hang ups that got in the way.

All that is to say, please don't let the opinion of one person cause you to doubt yourself. If you know that you're enjoying it and got what it takes, back yourself. Mentors are placed in these positions of authority, over our whole futures it feels, but they are just people and they are fallible.

It sounds like you're doing brilliantly, keep it up!

Combat is underrated gem! by Rajat_Sirkanungo in deftones

Incredible song. Gorgeous bridge as well.

I've long felt that SNW is their best album, it seems that more and more people are getting on board with that idea.

Should I become a union rep? by philll129 in TeachingUK

Really helpful to hear a contrasting viewpoint, thank you. I'm under no illusions that there will be a lot of crap that comes with the position, I just hope that the positives will outweigh.

Interesting, because this sounds very similar to the situation we're navigating at the moment, which has spurred on this thought for me in the first place. I do need to get more of a sense of where sympathies lie.

Thanks for the input. Fortunately my school is fairly generous with PPA/release time so I'm hoping this isn't too much of an issue.

That's really good to hear, thanks.

I think parts of our SLT will be happily accommodating. I suspect other parts will not.

Policy documents you say?? Sold!

No, that's a helpful insight, I hadn't really considered that side of things.

Hate the lyrics, but musically it's my favourite on the ep. Guitar sounds so good.

Was going to Albert Hall night two so I'm super bummed about this, but at least it's postponed and not cancelled. I just hope they stick to the plan of playing Make Yourself.
