Music theory teachers! My department at NYU created an amazing free public collection of online resources and examples, including a huge body of pop examples. They want you to use it! sites.google.com/nyu.edu/nyu-...

Anyone have any good candidates for This Week In Unnecessary Censorship?

@dclasair.bsky.social and @urbanbohemian.com This is relevant to your ongoing discussions and interests. >Flees the inevitable backlash

The thing so many of you refuse to understand is when you directly share links to outlets who post things that disgust you that you wish to criticize, you're essentially presenting us all with a shit-covered tumor goblin and telling us how horrible it is while feeding it treats.

Our first @fasterpurpleworm.bsky.social show at LA's Elysian theater was so much fun. Thank you Jacob Wysocki, Paula Deming, @scottpassarella.bsky.social @ifycomedy.com @ogmatthewlillard.bsky.social DM Jon Ciccolini and everyone who attended and sold the place out - let's do this again soon!

We're one week away from our next @beadleandgrimms.com FPWKK show! Come to the Elysian in LA or buy tickets to watch it online: www.elysiantheater.com/shows/faster.... This amazing cast is doomed, and you should be there to comfort them.

It's the Edge's birthday today, so we're contractually obligated to post this ridiculous piece from our archives.

‘Vexations’ (1893) is a piano piece by the composer Erik Satie that is supposed to be played very slowly 840 times. The first performance, conducted by John Cage in 1963, went for more than 18 hours. At the end, one audience member shouted ‘Encore!’ (Image: Sonia y natalia)

Mall staple Claire’s is filing for bankruptcy and closing numerous stores. If Claire’s taught us anything, you’re going to want to replace the stores quickly or they will close up again forever.

yes @isawiitch.bsky.social

In the Los Angeles area? Come see @ogmatthewlillard.bsky.social and @ifycomedy.com in a brand-new @beadleandgrimms.com FPWKK show at the Elysian on August 17th! Live somewhere else? You can also buy tickets for the Livestream! Tickets for both options here: www.elysiantheater.com/shows/faster...
