@strohltopia @EvanCMalone But he is not even getting most of the treatment, from what I've seen! It's just a lot of embarrassing dunks on philosophy and aesthetics rather than on the author or the paper.

@EvanCMalone seems like the racism is the thing to worry about, not the ranking, but somehow they were all up in arms with the fact that someone might evaluate genres.

@EvanCMalone there are a ton of goofy pitchfork lists like 'the top ten britpop songs of 1987'. don't tell the musicologists, they'll freak out!

Most Americana music today just sounds like worship music but instead of singing about Jesus they just be singing about how sad they are.

new Vikingur Olafsson is so lovely. it runs the gamut on inventive classical performance: from the familiar to the new. from profound & brooding to whimsical & airy to just... utter calm. sounds amazing on good headphones and even better on good speakers. https://t.co/4fsHdMQyvE

Pharoah Sanders on John Coltrane: "I loved being around him because I don’t talk that much, either. It was just good vibes between us both. We were just very quiet." A deafening quietude with these two.

@jmatthiasdow @NeuroYogacara well now you made *my* day!

[John Dyck @john_dyck]

@NeuroYogacara that sounds awesome! i'd love to see the syllabus when it comes together. i'm kind of shocked that there's not more discussion of Sobchack in phil of film (at least that i've seen, i could be missing it?), so this kind of focus seems fruitful!

[John Dyck @john_dyck]

@NeuroYogacara @jmatthiasdow oops, this is a better link: https://t.co/7Iz7ukGVB1

@NeuroYogacara and one more: @jmatthiasdow 's terrific new article on nature aesthetics proposes an enactivist account! https://t.co/YIekwCPpPB

[John Dyck @john_dyck]

@NeuroYogacara It's really good. I probably think more regularly about these essays than any other works of music criticism
