'Sup shitlickers?

So in case if you didn't know (and by that I mean, you're not reading these news posts at all), I am currently enrolled on a music college after jumping through so many loops to get there, I played my first (and possibly) only gig and I also made a lot of friends on the course. Unfortunately, these friends I have made don't really share the same ideas as me but nevertheless, I still hang out with them and consider them my friends.

So, with that being said, on to the main topic at hand (or hoof if you're DrunkGecko). I have been assigned with a project which is basically to create something of my own choosing. I have decided to make a Death Metal EP. Why? because I fucking love Death Metal, I also love gore and it's the perfect excuse to use the band name Tapeworms On My Penis.

Now here's the problem...

all of my classmates want me to do other shit, leaving me with no time to actually do the thing that I want to do. I've been tasked with doing a Red Hot Chilli Peppers cover, an Eminem cover and today, I had to do a fucking Nirvana cover. Are you all beginning to see the problem? I don't wanna fucking do covers all the time, I wanna do some original shit. I didn't come on to the course just to do cover after cover after fucking cover. I've done the necessary covers for the course, now I wanna go off and do some fucking original shit. But I can't because I have everyone else wanting me to do covers with them.

I know I sound like a massive whining little livejournal bitch... but fuck you, I'm well within my right to be one.

I've got shit I wanna do and I can't do that if I'm constantly doing shitty covers of songs by bands that already exist. Like, why? what's the fucking appeal of imitating other bands? I know a lot of bands out there start off as cover bands but I don't wanna do that shit for the entirety of a college course. And what really sucks is that I'm being even more of a whiny bitch because I haven't put my foot down and actually said "hold the fucking presses, I don't wanna do this shit, I have ideas, I have plans and I can't do that shit if I'm stuck here being ShittyNirvana. I don't fucking want that! who the fuck wants to be in a covers band all their life only to get tuppence in return?"

Tomorrow is a new day and if it's gonna be like yesterday where we have more freedom, I'm gonna ask my lecturer if I can actually use the studio to lay down some demo tracks for this EP.
