I only went a couple times and once was someone else driving and I decided I could live without 😆

i have a deep aversion to trader joe's because of the store in West Newton, MA, which is absolutely peak trader joe's in every way i can think of

I know this is a pithy post, but the replies and quotes don’t seem to actually understand that SU is the best comms school and these degrees are basically a specialization of more trad programs (production, marketing, etc.) with highly transferable skills

*returns to killjoy hovel*

why do people copyedit the job wiki comments (sorry to gripe about my RSS, but honestly)

I had only ever heard it one way and then heard Reeves and Winter do an NPR interview and pronounce it another way without flinching and I couldn’t believe it. Had no idea there was another way!

I’m wondering if the answer to this is effectively nowhere, in the sense of no centralized listserv. You’ll hear things if you’re registered directly with whatever organization or committee.

Atsuko is the best, time and again. (Also several huge disappointments signing on with this festival, but also several completely unsurprising ones who were already disappointing.)

Where are people getting musicology announcements now? CFPs, fellowships, etc. It seems like AMS's move to this career center thing has nothing (maybe bc of pay-to-post?). I still get MUSICOLOGY-ALL, but I hear nothing anymore from North America. Where is that happening now?

For all the men who couldn't think of anything else for four months a couple years ago, now is your time:

The song just demonstrates a confirmation of or a direct counter-example of about half a dozen concepts from the article. I love it when students find amazing connections like this.

Teaching Nicole Biamonte's MTO article, "Formal Functions of Metric Dissonance in Rock Music," tomorrow for my analysis class and my student leader for the day is going to use Laufey's "Lover Girl" as a case study, and it's like this song was written with the article in mind. Fantastic.

JOB: FSU is hiring an Assistant Professor of Music Theory (tenure track)! I am on the committee and happy to answer any questions.

Also, re: vaccines, I as an able-bodied person was able to get a COVID vaccine super easily last weekend. That may change, but the pharmacists at the CVS I went to in Indiana were asking *everyone* if they wanted to get it while I was there. Three people picking up scrips did. Bless the pharmacists.

So yes, revisiting old vaccines is a bad omen, but from my standpoint as a parent of littles, an important nuance and insightful stat are totally swamped out by this headline’s seemingly deliberate, inflammatory phrasing

Also feels like most other icons have gotten the Sickos Committee bevel treatment

This is a real icon downgrade

Greed

Making space on my phone and found this old video I cobbled together and I still have no idea if Mahler actually knew the Schumann, but it’s definitely the same

Goes great with BLACKENED, the whiskey aged with Metallica

Few things as thrilling in cfb as the “WOO!” after “GOOOOD OL’ ROCKY TOP”

It's all work, but it's a lot of fun to get page proofs and go through and really see how it'll look in the end. The kind of payoff you need once most of the work is done for your part of the team effort of publishing.

First time I went and tracked down the original “Tennessee Whiskey” by George Jones after loving the Chris Stapleton version, I almost fell off my chair. (Both are great but whew.)

Sco Ducks still, tho

I know no prof is losing their job because this crank gimmick cost a bunch of money, but man this shit is stupid and really hardens me against college sports more and more. UO is cutting a bunch of programs but cool stunt I guess

Miraculously, this actually worked for me. Weird. Seems so spammy or fake.

It's Cockney rhyming slang, explained in this video. Cheadle's accent is famously bad, but that's an interesting little subtle writing moment.

YouTube video by Mr MhR Barney rubble- Oceans 11

Was just looking up a clip from Ocean's 11 for teaching and heard Don Cheadle as Basher Tarr toss off a confusing (to the other characters) slang rhyme: "We're in Barney." *others look confused* *Cheadle rolls eyes* "Barney Rubble. Trouble!" Recently learned what's going on with this...

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best.

Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

Upsetting (but incredible) (also Shuler putting his ball hawk hat on when he should’ve put his boom laying hat on) (or at least his lay a single finger on the ball hat on)

Well this is good to know and honestly really unsurprising. The Big Claim at the end didn’t pass the sniff test but I couldn’t pin it down…
