Granting that McWhorter has made himself look foolish, and is a poor educator for not engaging his class with salient questions about the work, isn't it also a politically problematic feature of 4'33" that it can absorb (i.e., aestheticize) any potentially disruptive "contents"?
Best writing I've seen on this record - gets to the other side of both cynicism and utter credulity.

I would say this passage (from an interview with Merve Erme) epitomizes sophism.
This lays bare the operative harmonic idiom (+ resembles things I told @accommodatingly's TS class in March); otoh, any viable popular style/artist) relies on comparably reproducible conventions, at some level. Don't be smug unless your only jam is Zappa or Zorn; and even then...

Surely the Blur set would've gone better if they'd brought out Phil Daniels.
Ambivalent about the numbers previous Cindy Lee post is doing; agreement always makes me think I said something too simplistic. My detractors, pls chalk it up to being an Old who shared GBV's pre-Matador label and hand-sold Shimper/Mt. Goats tapes on my band's tours, c. '91-95.
No judgment on the music, but if you lived through the '90s, the contribution of the perverse, outsidery rollout to the hype around this album feels familiar. The target audience is too jaded to be "sold" something, but supports what they "discover" (all at once, the same week).

The Duolingo bird just taught me "Je voudrai créer un groupe pour jouer de la pop." Should come in handy.
Stumbled on a CD of Lush's Gala, which compiles their first 3 4AD EPs ('89-'90). A pleasing listen: tunes & guitars are resourceful w/in bounds of style and skill; rhythm section negotiates more metrical shifts than I had recalled; cannot understand a blessed word.

Is anecdotal evidence reliable? In my experience, yes
@CalMorgan Yeah, it's just wild to pedal a G in the melody over D7 chords that are played as actual D7 and not D7sus4 or power chords or whatever. Like, either Paul convinced us to accept the dissonance or (more likely) scale degree four isn't inherently dissonant in a blues context

One time in undergrad I put off writing a paper until the day it was due and I woke up at 4 am and wrote 15 pages in one sitting, and it turned out totally fine and I got good feedback. It's the worst thing that ever happened to me and I wish I could go back in time and undo it
maybe because we’re musicians and not writers 🤷♂️
Can't believe some of you are refereeing less than 50 papers a year. It's like you think nurturing your children is more important than evaluating the latest epicycle in the free will debate. Disgusting.
let us pause for a moment and remind ourselves how insane it is that institutions that are nominally devoted to education have investment portfolios, and that these portfolios include investments in corporations that profit off of death, destruction, and human misery.
Stebbing's "Logical Positivism and Analysis" is really an excellent paper, highly recommended reading on G.E. Moore, logical positivism, and the nature and point of "philosophical analysis".
