In "Playing Changes" @PantheonBooks, Nate Chinen observes that many narratives of jazz history present the music as a linear trajectory of progress, from its roots to canonization as a high art. @SuperlinkJ12 reviews in @culture_jazz 8.2. @MichaelCHeller scholarlypublishingcollectiv…

This is devastating news. We’ve lost a legend :/

Yesterday, we lost a music legend and, more importantly, a beautiful, luminous human being. Shaun Martin touched so many people during his life and through the beautiful immortality of music, will continue to do so. There’s so much that can be said but words can’t do justice. RIP

Indiana University is hosting what I believe is the first-ever academic conference entirely dedicated to Taylor Swift. PhDs, grad students, and Swifties, submit a proposal!

Got one of those gimmick printed hurdy gurdys that you gotta put together 😂 I’m no good at it, and I messed up a bit on the drone string, but the mechanics are there. It even came with rosin, despite using fishing line strings. Still, it was a fun project to do! hard to turn tho

Does everyone’s holiday visits start with an hour long tech review or just me?
All I’m saying is that the internet should know by now that when I type in “UNT catalog” I never mean the course catalog, only the library. Yes, it’s my fault, but if AI is gonna take over the world someday, I at least want SOME benefits.

This was such an amazing experience!

Many thanks to the UNT Library and @UNTMusicLibrary departments for giving our GAMuT members a tour of both wonderful Special Collections! We had such a blast and enjoyed exploring the materials deep in our own archives.

So my first round quals essays were about 4 pages single spaced each. If I did all that from memory, why was I ever worried about an 8-10 page essay for a class? 😂 I wrote each of those quals essays in 2 hours with decent citation accuracy. (Decent for memory that is.)

QUALS WEEK. Montpellier Codex and Stile Moderno Trio Sonata tomorrow, Debussy and Symbolism on Tuesday. I defend all three essays on Friday. Wish me luck!

I got a 1827 set of I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed), by Alessandro Manzoni, for $20 at a thrift shop. My research tells me that this is the first complete edition (with a smaller 3 volume run printed in 1824). I’m busy quals studying, so if anyone knows more, let me know!
