@amwilson_opera @ianpacemain I agree. As a student, I felt that musicology was flirting with crisis by segregating itself into increasingly niche compartments - some of which were indifferent to others at best, hostile at worst.
@WilliamSearle0 All is good, thanks! Finishing up first book while also preparing for arrival of first child (a boy) in December. (Preparations for the latter thus far amount to buying an OUFC infant beanie.)
Hope all is well with you: I always enjoy reading news of your performances on here!
@YellowsForum@oufcoli@oxfordtoafrica@OUFCOfficial@Join_OxVox Turns out that today's match is being broadcast on Paramount+, which is like American Sky.
It would be great if @OUFCOfficial could add a "this video is unavailable in your location" notification to the site on matchdays when this happens. Otherwise it's just a guessing game.
@ianpacemain @weareLIS Colleagues regarded these reforms as a death-knell for Music, because they effectively pressured students to make a two-year committment to the subject during their GCSE year, i.e., age 15. Whereas the old AS-Level enabled them at least to get a "taste" first. (2/2)
@ianpacemain @weareLIS I wonder what you think about the International Baccalaureate, which gives teenagers a broader spread of subjects?
I was teaching Music in a UK secondary school in 2014-15, the dawn of the old AS-Level being "reformed"... (1/2)
@Thomas__Weber How extraordinary. And the quote from the Nuremberg Trials that accompanies the notice from "Die Welt" is particularly weird. Were they using the occasion of his death to look back on the Trials in anger??
2/2 "The parallels with the current populist world in which democracies are slowly crumbling are unmistakable. The mechanisms with which Goebbels managed to influence the masses are still visible in this era of fake news."

1/2From Katholiek Nieuwsblad: “‘Führer & Verführer’ (an extremely fitting & linguistically beautiful title)outlines how Goebbels continuously&seamlessly adapted his propaganda machine to the increasingly bellicose & antisem plans of his idol&hero Hitler.
