I know it’s not at all cool by music snob standards, but I love a large amount of Mark Ronson’s arrangements. The trumpet solo in “Oh My God” is remarkable bc of the way it keeps up the energy. And I like the uptempo version of Valarie way more.

Overview
[O. 1] The Practice of Popular Music: Understanding Harmony, Rhythm, Melody and Form in Commercial Songwriting (2025) by author Trevor de Clercq is an
unprecedented departure from contemporary approaches to teaching music theory.
Grounded on more than a decade's worth of experience teaching commercial music industry majors at Middle Tennessee State University, its 475 pages (roughly 8.5 x 11) interleave written theory and aural skills activities across a four-semester sequence that hits all the traditional theory mainstays - fundamentals, meter types, diatonic](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d3vqohyyejfln27glhowkjsz/bafkreihompv4vv77ekyaj4crph5k66dc4hufdmntwomcmdyigy6nw5ceba@jpeg)

Last year I got a Steam Deck and began emulating Ultra Sun/Moon a few months ago. It's been great. The regional variants are awesome, models look great in 3D. Well, as of yesterday, I completed the Dex! Focusing on collecting instead of battling has been weirdly satisfying.
