Digging the new season of @dissectpodcast about Radiohead's In Rainbows and want to dive EVEN DEEPER? Check out my book *Everything in its Right Place: Analyzing Radiohead* amazon.com/Everything-its…

@AvidSibelius Thanks for the address. Just FWD'd it. It hasn't been given a case number yet because you haven't replied/created one.

@RadioheadBook Could you forward what you emailed to that address here instead: ingrid.guce@avid.com I do not have direct access to that email. Also, again, is this associated to a previous case?

@AvidSibelius I emailed you twice (March 26th and 30th) about my Sibelius perpetual license—which I paid $299 for—not working on my laptop. Please reply.

@AvidSibelius Please reply to either of those emails and we can continue the conversation there.

@RadioheadBook Please include a screenshot of the error message showing in Avid Link

@AvidSibelius Like I said, I emailed all of this to AvidCustomerCare [at] Avid [dot] com on March 26th and 30th.

For those who aren’t able to make it to IASPM-US this week, I’ve recorded my conference paper on how the black metal band Liturgy creates something they call Transcendental Black Metal.mediahub.ku.edu/media/t/1_yauk…

Just hit 1,000 citations on Google Scholar. I guess people *are* reading the footnotes.

Huge thanks to Elizabeth Passarella for quoting me (twice!) in today’s @nytimes feature on hobbies and creativity. nytimes.com/interactive/20… #NYTimes #Radiohead #SigurRos #MusicTheory #CoverSongs #Heima

I also analyze songs where DLTLs reflect lyrical themes of conflict, duality & emotional pull (5/6)

New SMT-Pod episode: “Dual Leading Tone Loops in Post-Millennial Pop/Rock” 👇 (1/6) player.captivate.fm/episode/8aed6c…

Using data from the McGill Billboard corpus & a more recent post-millennial corpus, I show DLTLs are more common in recent decades—reflecting a shift in harmonic language. (4/6)

I first explored DLTLs in film/TV scores to show how they represent being pulled in two directions. Now, I trace their growing role in post-2000 pop/rock music. (3/6)

What’s a Dual Leading-Tone Loop (DLTL)? It’s a short chord loop that contains leading tones from both major & relative minor keys, creating rich tonal tension & ambiguity. (2/6)

I was pleased to speak on the record with James Hall at The Telegraph about Radiohead's *The Bends*—click below for my hot take on who was and wasn't influenced by this legendary record! telegraph.co.uk/music/news/rad…

A student just summarized my lecture on extended jazz chords as "there aren't any wrong notes, some are just more right than others," which seems correct to me @MusicKU

I’m giving a talk on Radiohead at a bike shop that serves beer, so, I guess that’s like all my personality traits

So honored to see my work influencing one of my favorite YouTube music theorists of all time, 12tone!

On this, the eve of my 20th year teaching new college students, I still have a few butterflies! @MusicKU
