PROOFS! 🥳 Adding to the archives chat, Chair of the composer's guild, Dame! And yet, many of Elizabeth Maconchy's works are unknown - I discovered a "lost" manuscript in researching this chapter. It was (uncatelogued?) in the archive! The librarian only opened the box because I asked.
Chapter title page, Chapter 26: "Operatic transformations" by me with one and a half paragraphs on Elizabeth Maconchy's operas. Proofs greyed out across the background.

You ever wonder who the dedicatees were for all of Chopin's really skrewy nocturnes? Like, Mademoiselle R. de Könneritz, what the hell have you been up to? 👀
Score first line of Chopin's nocturne op 62/1, dedicated to Mademoiselle R. de Könneritz. This piece is a weird one.

International Queer Pride 2025, Berlin, Germany
Several hours marching ended rather abruptly with (mild?) police brutality.
Another crowd angle plus queer Berlin fashion A large group of people far off with several Palestinian flags, an observer drinks a beer bottle. The crowd is lined with cops. List of blocs in the march, each with its own distinctive chants and actions; covid safety bloc, disability justice, red pink, Palestine, antifa, anarchist, rhythms of resistance Berlin, Armenian, d.r.a.g, queer Afghanistan, black resistance, whore, transfem, tea cups trans*, queer swana and arab*, queer Kurdish, bloque Latino Americano, dalit queer, central and north Asian pride, queer anti-imperialist Asian, queer vegan liberation bloc. Backs of heads wit keffiyehs, signs that read "no trans, no queer" and "stonewall was an intifada"

From the viola da gamba society in Oxford, Ohio, to queer DJ summer school in Berlin. There's more overlap between these events than one might suppose!

Time for my favorite review of Sex Sounds (first public review of my book)
A good reads love you by popular stating"no Depeche mode here folks, just an academic positively upper own butt writing largely about music you either wouldn't listen to for enjoyment or wouldn't consider electronic music, depending on what part of the book he reference. As much as I enjoy critical theory, postmodernism, and modern academia is interest telling everyone's story from as many intersectional angles as possible, it's also become a disappointing free past to allow people to professionally spouse opinions and interpretations that are some combination of meaningless, preposterous, or Don right wrong. I recommend avoiding this book at all costs. The one the bright side it was a fast read with the amount of footnotes and appendix material.

I went away for a weekend and two mice moved into my kitchen. Picked up my cat from the sitter, woke up to two disappeared mice. Guess I'll keep him.
