Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

In response to the thread Northwestern University to accredit music critics I amused myself by suggesting a couple of modules/subjects/classes - Dismissive Miniature Singles Reviews and Sharing A Tour Bus With Nu-Metal Bands. What other modules should be taught?
