I have. It's expensive and has smallish portions (well, maybe normal by NYC standards) but the food is good and authentic and I say that having been to Georgia.

The melody could make it any one of the three, excellent bait.

(Most are following the left hand, which is...the correct way.)

Just plain cream cheese on an untoasted poppy bagel. On principle I like lox but I am too cheap to buy it except on special occasions.

Thanks so much for sharing this. I find it so interesting to think about the significance of Ardrey Auditorium here--I'd been so immersed in East Coast Classical Music circles that I'd basically taken the auditorium for granted when I was living in Flagstaff. And yet it's such a threshold place.

Why did you take the historical rather than "Pythagorean comma math" approach?

ngl this is a substantial part of why I switched from composition to music theory

The bathroom music there is really something too

You should've seen the emails I exchanged with some librarians who threw out an entire run of journal back issuesโ€”for journals that were entirely special issues! The issues were so thematically coherent they were practically books!

Good luck not melting in the heat

I don't have a best, but D3 is the worst. Always so buzzy for some reason.

Without knowing specifics, I think if you do research on which galleries are Native owned, you can find something. The vendors outside the history museum are usually local and Native.

The whole situation is ethically complicated. Like, the Saรฏdists are the main source of income for many locals.

Honestly by not having been there last weekend you're already halfway woke

More seriously, the IAIA gallery downtown is nice and very respectful.

Wait a minute, you don't think sampling is an essential practice for hip-hop?

YXX is past its peak now that Scoot collapsed...in its heyday there were cheap nonstops to Hamilton (YHM)!

Annual Meetings of the SMT | SMT

Looking back at the archive of meetings (societymusictheory.org/meetings):

SMT has met in November (occasionally October) forever, just because that's when AMS meets. (Not gonna dig into AMS history.)

Only some programs list location beyond city, but university sites were a thing until the 90s!

I mean, diagrams aside I'd probably reject him based on prose quality tbh

I'd say I'm (1) and maybe (3) but definitely not (2). My own cynicism is that the supplemental materials count more than the abstract, for better or worse, so my skills with vector graphics pay off disproportionately. And this favors analyses over big picture theorizing too.

Basically opposite for me, I have like an 80% SMT accept rate and a 100% AMS reject rate

Wait, does it really? I thought Spectrum had a pretty high "reject and submit elsewhere" rate

Interesting, I don't think of shawarma as Yemeni (compared to stews). And thanks, I'll pass this on!

05.06.2025 16:45 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Different than Yemeni, though. And said friend frequently has reasons to head west (unfortunately)

Any recommendations? A good friend of mine is in Oak Park

Khai Tri is the banh mi I sometimes still dream about after a decade. (Though to be fair, the baguette is a more French style than is quite authentic.) The whole 13th has great Vietnamese food in general.

I can also recommend the couscous from the cafe at the Grande Mosquรฉe.

You probably know that many (most?) schools in Arizona have big mariachi programs?

The issue is that I don't think most voice recorders support simultaneous playback and recording?

I keep saying I should "I am Sitting in a Room" one of the canyons around here, but I've never wanted to actually carry the amount of audio gear I'd need to do that
