A genre of suggested Facebook slop I would actually enjoy would be to have actual real photos meant to trick people into thinking they are AI-generated.

So sad that organists decided to form “guilds” and “associations” when they could have instead made themselves into an ORGANIZATION.

The Pope avoiding JD Vance at the Vatican is not ordinary ghosting. That is a Holy Ghost.

Taking a chord progression and turning it into an Afro-Cuban piano montuno is a great music theory exercise that more courses should include.

From the communion hymn I played for mass today: Still the rich oppress the poor; Still the earth is bruised and broken By the ones who still want more.

Years ago, I drew a portrait of an amazing woman full of musical references. "You Can’t Always Get What You Want" is there because she had been conducting that with the Rolling Stones on their 50th anniversary tour. If you try sometimes, you get what you want and need. Happy 10th anniversary!

Music does not have "rules." It has: 1) things that have been done before which have predictable effects and 2) people with different tastes about which effects are desirable (or not).

Today I asked my six-year-old what she wants to be when she grows up. She told me she wants to be an elevator.

I just joined Bluesky and posted to my zero followers about a musical Easter egg in Wicked. Then the app immediately suggested I follow a feed called "gay music." So, yes, I think it is running a very different algorithm than Twitter/X.

Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz composed an Easter egg in Defying Gravity. The "unlimited" motif traces the same line as "Somewhere over the Rainbow." This connection makes a lot more sense than how "We Are the Champions" uses the notes of the bassoon solo from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.
