The weekend after I finish a video is always so weird. You mean I'm supposed to just think about other things? Have thoughts that don't revolve around this one topic? Sounds like a trap.

lol, just got a paper published in Music Theory Spectrum but the clandestine web of authentications on the OUP site is making it impossible for Bluesky to properly embed the link. Anyway, here's a thing I wrote about audiences, platforms, and their impact on scholarship:

Here's your periodical reminder that I wrote a book last year. It's pretty neat and if you like what I do with my channel, I think you'd dig it a lot. www.amazon.ca/Century-Song...

Retweeting this now that the video is live. Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone!

My good friend and fellow music creator @boundo.bsky.social recently had to take down and re-upload a fantastic video for copyright reasons. If you could give some love and go learn about Björk, it would go a long way to helping a great indie creator. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX8k...

Listening to Philosophy of the World again, and I think it might be time for me to make that Shaggs video. Gonna take a while, gotta do a *lot* of transcribing first, but I've been saying for years that there should be music theory scholarship about them and I guess if no one else is gonna do it...

Always love when a paper has a taxonomy.

Guitarists aren't real. No human being has ever successfully played a guitar.

hello 👋 professional writer here. it's fine to use "your" and "you're" interchangeably. most readers will understand what you're trying to say either way, and you shouldn't have to placate people who won't read between the lines

I can't believe the world I live in has forced me to say this, but since I know my industry well: TV reaction youtubers, if this show ever happens, do not talk about it. Even an "I watched it so you don't have to." No one has to watch this, and no one should.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

Hey this sucks.

This has been a lot of my evolution on the topic, especially around musical genAI. When the technology was first coming out I was very interested in having those nuanced conversations, but at this point, debating niche uses is just obscuring the actual state of play.
