This is now taking on shades of early 20th c. middlebrow effeteness, of the “here is a curated summary of The Classics so you can be good at cocktail parties but not have to work for it” type. Everything old is new again. Bring back progressive education generalism!

Being a Red Sox fan is so infuriating sometimes. A team that can’t help but repeatedly trade away its best and most popular players.

The orchestration in this part of the show—the high string arpeggio/scale figures plus pizz lower strings—reminds me a lot of Schönberg's Verklärte Nacht. Idk if that's coincidence. Glad they chose it for the Tonys performance bc I think it was maybe the most arresting musical section of the show.

Aww. I really did love MAYBE HAPPY ENDING. It’s really fresh and creative and different — and productions of it have been beloved in other parts of the world for years and years, by the way.

Really humbling when your one year old stunts on your ability to focus on something by playing with a single manipulable toy for 44 minutes straight

Johnny-come-lately with this, but saw Maybe Happy Ending in NY this past weekend and it's not that many shows the last decade that have as many ear worms as this one. Neat show all around.

Once again coming away from Music and the Moving Image feeling like I’ve never seen any movies. There are too many of them, too much movies. (IOW my to-watch list is getting huge again! A great problem to have.) (And also what a great conference. One of the best.)

This was the exact connection I had during The Scene (which was a super striking piece of film making, even music aside). Thinking I might teach SINNERS in my film music class this fall. Maybe a week-long mini unit with Renaissance, maybe with a chapter from Matthew Morrison’s Blacksound.

i think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers

students read Marianna Ritchey’s article on neoliberalism and Mson Btes and I always hedge a bit on the article’s critique—I agree w much of it, but like leaving space for students who like the music. Several had played another piece by him, and boy I didn’t mean to radicalize them so much
