My New Years resolution is a ivadd6 chord resolving to the I, which is strongly related to the negative harmony version of the last two chords of a perfect authentic cadence. It just hits different

This week I sent off another intern (hurray!), been threatened to be choked to death by a patient (it was actually funny I promise), and had some of my most meaningful interactions with patients in a long time. This week has left me feeling so fullfilled!!!

Holy Geese! Getting Killed from the Basement session dropped!!! The gaggle is somehow sounding even better than the album
I realize out of context that sounds mildly diabolical

The feeling as you listen to a song and hear something oddly similar to an unreleased song you wrote or are working on. Like I’m writing a song opening with an allusion to the raining of mana in a modern day context, and the melodies even have similar cadence. Like I promise I didn’t steal it

Been relearning some classical guitar repertoire for a patient. It’s quite enjoyable and relaxing. Now I find out she enjoys Hip Hop too. Guess I’ll have to pull out my pseudonym Skittlz from when I was a kid. Seriously though, she has impeccable taste from the Black Keys to the Traveling Willburys

I’m pretty sure I had my first actually elevator speech for hospice music therapy the other day in an elevator. I was at the inpatient unit. I fortunately refrained from saying, “I play music and then they die”, but even with scripts, in the moment it doesn’t come out as smooth as I’d like

Midi routing is the bane of my existence. Like, I just wanna be synthy, guitary, drummy, and singy simultaneously. I can at least change drum patterns with a midi footpedal now! It took some finagling, but I got there
Also, 60 cycle hum is just your gear experiencing refrigerator buzz depression

Coffee ice cubes are one of the greatest creations of humankind. I had iced coffee at Jupiter Donuts and it’s freaking amazing! While Andrew still ambulates on Dunkin, I’ve been trying to get JD iced coffee when I can

It’s crazy that there are people who don’t constantly bash their teeth together to drum with the soundtrack in their head. I think it may have been one of the biggest stims that I got away with as a child

If I’ve learned anything from the research I’ve been doing on terminal conditions recently, it’s that at least you get a trophy for getting old

While I am a pro at crastinating, I have officially been recertified as a music therapist for the next 5 years on time and turned in my company car in time to meet the deadline for max incentive! I also actually like asked for help for once. It’s weird. Time to go back to crastinating

Sometimes I think about how David J. Elliott describes music (as its function as a human experience) as musicers musicing music, in which doers do what they do

A true sociological legend!!! What I wouldn’t give to pour a cold one with Du Bois. If we drank enough, I wonder if we could experience double unconsciousness
In all seriousness, compassion is logical. Internalized shame and pride lead us to disregard facts and double down to avoid culpability

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Thinking about the time I made a recording of Nocturne Op 9 No 2 by Chopin on guitar for other music therapists to use with caregivers and families for relaxation. Usually when recording, I keep it going if I make a mistake. Turns out a minute in I flubbed a note, said “sh*t”, then casually…

I never thought moving from just a rented bedroom in an apartment to my own studio apartment would take two days. I finally get to enjoy the tranquility and peace of my own place.

I just got the best news ever!!! My brother had his first annual checkup for his open heart surgery from this time last year. It seems as though the one complication from the surgery has resolved itself. I cannot express how relieved and grateful I am
