I have to make a confession.

[Mrs. Gradenko]

Does anyone ever feel so mad and overwellmed that you just want to scream and run in the other direction?

[georgygirl]

Mmmm, not exactly, but sometimes I felt like I want the world can eat me.

What happened Mrs. G?

[georgygirl]

When I felt that way, to hear The Police/KK material help me a lot.

When I hear The Police/KK music and it didn't help my soul to feel better, I worried because that is really a bad symptom.

[giovanni]

Music got such a healing power...for me The Police stuff more than anybody else, but it depends...

Today for example I felt like I needed to listen to 'The Captive' (soundtrack) by The Edge (U2 guitar player) and while listening to it I felt so good...I didn't listen to it for a few years and now suddenly I needed that....it's like drug...a good drug.

[Mrs. Gradenko]

Gio, not all drugs are bad. lol

Yeah I do that too, sometimes I wake up and just have to listen to a ceratin cd, no sure why... just have to.

[georgygirl]

Yes, and also with music you can make friends.


Gio I think we we met because your Stewart Copeland official site, and we still get in touch.

Wonderful.

[Mrs. Gradenko]

It's what we all have in common.

Whining: I wanna go see John Mayer in Oklahoma, but can't. Damn, I could lose intrest in him before I get to see him! Nah he'll last forever.

I want another Stewart Story.

[georgygirl]

Me too.

And also another Oysterhead record/CD...

But is okay now, cause I am enjoying with the new Everoyne Stares-DVD/film.

I have to recognized that I'm old fashion now.

On any other day I said to one of my students who was listening music in class with his I-Pod:

-Could you please, take off your walkman...

All of my other students began to laugh histerically, and after that they were looking at me with compassion



I just have to said that for me walkman were our I-Pod when I was student.

I have to confess that in my inner I was laughing too...

But I know is not too good idea that my students saw the teacher laughing histerically in class...

[georgygirl]

I also have to confess that in this class I have been talking to my students about the Kinetic Kid.

For some oral presentation, one team of three students were talking about their investigation about UFO philosphy and live in other planets.

I said that I know someone from Kryptone and is the Kinetic Kid...

-Hey teacher, what's up with KK, some of them asked me since then

[Mrs. Gradenko]

Next time, to be safe say, "Take off your headphones." I got a walkman for Christmas when I was 7, with beachboys Christmas tapes.... that's how out dated thoes are. Lol

Georgy ever thought about getting an ipod nano? They're awesome, music in the palm of your hand.

Maybe Stewart's writing them all up, so he can give us a bunch all at once?

I'm impatient, I'd rather have them as they're finished.

[georgygirl]

Well, in fact, about my ancient word in class (walkman) was an amazing momento for me too.

An about get an Ipod, well I am not sure, because not even when I was a teenager, liked to use walkman.

Yes I love to listen music, but also the world live music, and with headphones I feel disconnected about my present life sounds in a global scene.

I prefer to listen music when I was driving my car to everywhere...

[georgygirl]

Ok my students saw me with tenderness compassion...

And I just think:

Evil by old knows more that by Evil

[Mrs. Gradenko]

OK, but your missing out...

And wern't tapes invented in the 80's? Before then the closest thing was an 8-track player?

[georgygirl]

The cassette tape – a much more compact recording medium than reel-to-reel tape and 8-track - was introduced by the Dutch electronics company Philips in 1963.
The concept of having a ‘tape recorder’ which didn’t record, but only played back pre-recorded tapes (which, when you think about it, is quite counter-intuitive for a device called a tape recorder), became established in 1966, when Ford introduced in-car sound systems based on 8-track tapes invented by William Lear (who also invented the in-car radio, as well as founding the Learjet company). This too set a precedent for ‘music on the move’. Also, machines which played back pre-recorded music had been in use since the invention of the phonogaph.

!980 was when The Police have been estabilishing with its music in the mind of many young and not so young people, and tapes were there from many years ago...

[Mrs. Gradenko]

Lol and my Dad still had 8-tracks in the 70's, then again he did said he liked them allot better then tapes.

What I always hated about them was you have to scan through to find a song, that is so annoying! Plus my tape player when I was a kid kept eating the tapes.

We got some blank tapes are recorded off the radio. I remember when we were singing along to Alanis Morissette's "I'm a Bitch, I'm a Lover", we had to say "witch" because we always got introuble when we used the word "bitch".
