Random person whistling the Mockingjay melody at a high school orchestra concert: if you’re going to do this, please stay in tune. The whistle does not modulate or change in the movie.

All types of music merit study, and as the article suggests, it engages critical thinking (why we love the things we love), and it can be a gateway to other types of music.

Is there a universe where I can just sit in this room and read?

@tjshubert I don’t know. I love running, but I feel conflicted about contributing to athletic events on campus. What about you and Skylar?

@daralexandria @_InfiniteDee_ Ha, it’s funny you mention that! I didn’t remember until I saw a post where Puccini recommended you drink coffee for national coffee day, so I thought, who am I to argue??

Should pay musical tribute to composers graves more often...

“Music played a central part in the proceedings.” Whether it’s a coronation, singing the anthem before games, or your favorite song on the radio, let’s not forget how important music is, including how we budget our time and resources for the future.

I remember it very well. I still think of it every time I walk down the hallway in Galvin when the building is empty, nearly every time I log into an online meeting. That time will probably never leave me.

Why is it so hard to remember the early days of COVID-19? Experts say it's not just the passage of time that makes us forget. https://t.co/9WT4ADEWRK

I’m not British so I don’t know all the intricacies of BBC Classical but it’s really disappointing to see the BBC Singers disbanded. To say you value choral singing and then cut the professional choir sends a terrible message to young singers and society. The arts are important.

@ass_deans I’m laughing and crying 😂😭😂😭

Or as my earlier tweet said, I look forward to the time when people give one-tenth of the energy to the arts and humanities that they give to football.

Please remember as an academic, your job is to ruin the Super Bowl - and the commercials - for the rest of America. Please over analyze everything.

And I’m not anti-sports: ask me anything about the Cubs from the 80s, or the 90s Bulls (what a time to be alive!). Let’s just think about how we can support a just and well-rounded society.

As I get asked quite often why I’ve kept to listening to CDs and other physical formats like a boomer of 1st order, I think I ought to say something about this. So, here’s a little thread.
