Lol at "Your Idol" opening with the Dies Irae... surely @celexo.bsky.social had been informed (or has already seen KPop Demon Hunters?)

Overjoyed to get to present for the 7th time at NYU’s Music and the Moving Image conference, as well as chairing panels feat. work by truly inspirational colleagues. Having attended MaMI annually since 2019, it never fails to wholly enliven me and remind me why I do what I do. @stefanxgc.bsky.social

Feels very weird to post anything celebratory these days, but here goes: thrilled to announce my student and I were accepted to NACVGM to present on organizing a video game ensemble at a uni, and that I was accepted to Hanyang University's "Audible Futures" conference. Finally going to Korea!

Advice for early career scholars: overcite. Mostly because it makes finding citations you'll be using later on a lot easier to find. Even if editors/advisors make you cut things, those citations will be in early drafts, at least~

I'm a sucker for a presentation of an OP or main theme mid-show only for it to be unceremoniously cut off when something unexpected happens. It's such low hanging fruit, but I really don't care.

While I haven't listened to them regularly in a while, I love how, for as much as a meme they were when they first started, Babymetal has been accepted by so much of the rock/metal world. Canonized by collabs.
