Much fanfare! Much shouting!

Just logged into twitter for the first time in a while. I regret it.

@iamjohnoliver @LastWeekTonight love what you're doing! Out of curiosity, how was the cat response to episode 189, Cat Week Tonight? #askingforafriend

@susanna_hancock I have them and would still use them if I were interacting with anyone. It's easier and faster than exchanging info phone to phone (or, *gasp* PAPER!)

[Stephen Bailey @MyMindHz]

@jaybatzner I hear you. Take a rest. It's hard af right now.

@BKNY75 @CraigSJ After much evaluation I have concluded that I am comfortable with my true self hating pants and shaving.

A student of mine has turned in a DJ set as their final project in my electronic composition class. Truly this is the darkest time line.

[Stephen Bailey @MyMindHz]

@MusicWeeklies 1. Bass, Push 2, guitar, flute, piano, drums, all with varying degrees of success.
2. Ableton and Reason.
3. Right now, Sebastian Gainsborough (Vessel). Ask me again in 5 minutes.
4. Coffee in the am, beer in the pm.
5. Massive.

I am feeling very musically lost lately. I'm not sure what I am or what I want to be.

[Stephen Bailey @MyMindHz]

For those in social isolation with mental heath concerns:
Make new routines.
Get out of bed.
Still take your meds.
You're going to be ok. You're going to get through this.

All of my universities are going to online instruction in two weeks. Anyone have any experience or ideas about teaching an aural skills class online?

[Stephen Bailey @MyMindHz]

I just took a nap.
I haven't done that in a while.
I blew off like, five important projects to do so.
I think it was worth it.
Cause fuck future Steve.

Real talk: I literally always say Buttigieg wrong in my head.

@drewmorriscomp @karahuberpiano Whatever you were GONNA do, this should now be what you do.

[Stephen Bailey @MyMindHz]

@ghostsarespooky @ghostly Sounds terrible, though.

[Stephen Bailey @MyMindHz]

@ConradKehn Nah. I made someone else do it.

[Stephen Bailey @MyMindHz]

Yes, Finale, clearly this EXACTLY how slurs should look... 🙄

[Stephen Bailey @MyMindHz]

@mcarlsonmusic @finaleofficial It should definitely be their new tag line. "At least we're not Sibelius!"

[Stephen Bailey @MyMindHz]

@mcarlsonmusic @finaleofficial I've been thinking about this.
There are dozens of little things that frustrate me about finale (omg why no hot keys to switch layers?!) and at the end of the day my reaction is always "well, at least it's not Sibelius..." so maybe that's a success of some kind?
