playing a bit of shoe-gazing feedback

The corporation does like to take a word and then tumble dry its original meaning. This morning, I have a four hour meeting in my calendar for upward feedback, I nostalgically remember feedback as that gangling guitar distortion, that shoe-gazer bands like the Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine played with such distinction in the late 80ties.

Today, with the assistance of HR we, the five band members, formally give our lead singer, some noise distortion, or as it's been so aptly described - upward feedback.

We get to ramble on giving examples about the things that we like, the things that we don't like, the things that we would like and then with the aid of our neutral HR representative upwardly stick it to the head of the band. Distortion. Once we have gotten through that first session we then agree actions and a schedule to close any gaps. Distortion. All of this is intended to make us more productive as a team and allow the lead singer to once again sing in tune. Melodic chorus.

Once it's done, we go back to our desks and deal with email and grump about what a FFFfffffffffffffffkkkkkkkkkggg waste of time, because nobody really changes their style, especially not the lead singer, the workers simply have to adapt. Melodic (power to the peeps) chorus.

We've got a good person at the helm, it's been a pleasure playing in this band, hopefully that message isn't distorted. Distortion fade out.
