Seriously, fishing will put me to sleep. Your audience too. We all know about fishing, and we all users computers partly because we don't like fishing.

sorry guys....now i think i am going to do it on catch and release sport fishing.

i have never written a paper ...ever...but the injestion of yogart"a culture" is irrelavant......tell why the thought.....the progression of the sound you here as you walk closer to the epicenter of the source......what is experienced between ......pros and cons...tell it....from the parking to the door....the wait in line.....the conversation there......still hearing that sound from before but closer....the imersion into the sound you heard before and the way the excitement has escalated....the sudden urge to move to the sound you felt compelled to move to.......moving to that sound for the endurance of that sound.......and yelling whoooooo when the lights come on.......tell about the people you meet ......the faces you saw.......write about how "you" feel the it affected "all" around you.....talk about the conversation on the way out of the venue.....just dont write about fishin!!!!!!!!!

If you can get a copy of this book, it might be of some help! Discographies: Dance Music, Culture, and the Politics of Sound (Jeremy Gilbert & Ewan Pearson;Routledge, 1999.) Good luck!

What I meant by the "dead" comment, is that the club scence isnt like it used to be. I believe it wont survive long on the course its on.
Just my opinion

I didnt read what ^^ pickle said above before posting. I totally agree with what he said. Talking about the first thing that comes to most American minds when talking about clubs, drugs, is not a topic that we have'nt heard. Explore what the club scence stands for. Talk about what DJ's do to bring the crowd in, get the crowd involved and ultimately get the crowd to do whatever the DJ wants them to do....
Many people dont understand that DJ's control the floor. They control the atmosphere. In many instances, being a DJ is the only way for many to communicate. Playing records is a form of expression.
When playing, its like telling a story of sorts. Its kind of hard to explain in words, but if you have played in front of alot of people, you know what Im talking about. You start your voyage and express what the voyage is like. Its an amazing form of expressionism.

Good luck mate

How about steering away from the whole drug side of the story altogether? Don't think I'm bashing on you for writing about drugs, but one of my college english professors made a point in class about how we should "write about something creative, instead of very common, overdiscussed issues" (or something), and drugs was in her list of issues (along with abortion, cloning, etc). Not that it's bad, but she's true by saying that it shows a lack of imagination or commitment to the research process.

I personally can't stand hearing papers about drugs, because I definitely agree that the stuff gets overdiscussed, but I also would even go so far to say immature. I went through the same phase where I took a lot of drugs, and wanted to make everybody think they were okay, but now that I'm way out of the phase I realize that it's just stupid (to me).

Instead of writing about the drugs and their use in the dance scene, what about focusing on some other aspect of the club scene? Like the life of a DJ (maybe how they're popular globally and can be understood globally, whereas the audience for most performers is limited to their own language), or even the roots of the electronic music scene? This seems like it would be more research, less opinionated like drug ethics, and you would be able to write about cool shit like DJs, music genres, etc. I'd dig telling people about where raves started, the music that evolved, and how undeground it could get, etc. Just my two cents, but I think it'd be much more engaging to yourself and to the listeners if you steered clear of a drug-related topic and talked about something that nobody had knowledge about.

I did an oral report once about different genres of music, it was something simple but the teacher and a few students still asked me for examples of the music, and I ended up burning some CDs for the teacher and had good questions at the end with people wanting to know more.

Either way, good luck dude.

Good suggestion pickle. If he's anything like me though he's waited until the last minute and the paper is due tomorrow!
