🚨 Hooray -- my author copies have arrived!! In honor of my official pub date (June 11th), I'll be posting some of my favorite Dies Irae clips in this thread. #diesirae #hearingdeath link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

is the use of "strongly" (as an adverb) an A.I. artifact? or has it filtered into our student's writing via our current commander-in-chief? I'm seeing it a lot in papers I'm grading lately and I strongly dislike it.

I love soccer!! and winning trophies makes it even sweeter!!!

72 horror-ish films since mid-July! My favorites in each grid will be listed in the alt-text

That is not anywhere close to a proper throw in!!

If you’re some of the lucky few watching the re-release of Ken Russell’s “The Devils” this weekend, keep your ears peeled for a fantastic processional “Dies Irae” right near the beginning of the film.

DIGGER WICKER RIVER

Opening this bad boy again after a few years off — and I’m hearing strains of “the holy hand grenade” in my head.

BREAKING: Marvin Berry and the Starlighters will not be opening for Ed Sheeran

Thinking alot about Kendra Preston Leonard today as I taught silent film music earlier today; her fantastic curation and advocacy on silent film music was and is remarkable.

Get the fuck in!

I voted this afternoon in the MA primary. Upon seeing that my wife had not yet voted, I meant to express surprise that I was at the polls before her, but what I actually said was… ”haha, I beat my wife” And then walked off to the voting booth. It’s a miracle they didn’t immediately call the cops

I regret to inform you that seeing "The Odyssey" in 70mm IMAX is a remarkable experience...not just the size, but the quality of the image is stunning. Don't you want to see Robert Pattinson's face 5 stories tall delivering the line reading of the year ("Can someone get these beggars out of here?")

Was just about to re-post this one too...heartbreaking.

ugh...

Some of you know that “I haven’t prepped enough for the fall term” feeling at the end of summer, but do you have that “I agreed to play this 4-hand Mozart sonata with my son last spring and now we have our first lesson” angst? No? Just me?

Back in my spooky season frame of mind as I prep for the start of the school year

who can point me to some academic sources on the evolution of film formats? I'm thinking this might be in your wheelhouse, right @ericdienstfrey.bsky.social ?? I bet @tvaziri.com might have thoughts too...

Traveling back to Massachusetts tomorrow, so once again y’all get #ScholarSunday on a Saturday! Here’s my 289th thread of great public scholarly writing, podcast episodes, new & forthcoming books from the past week. Add more below, share widely, & enjoy, all! 🗃️ +

I’m taking my son to see The Odyssey (his choice!) with three friends at an 11:30am showing. We are joined by a mostly blue-hair audience…should be interesting.

I love writing/teaching about the Dies Irae…it was a lot of fun crafting this primer on the melody I can’t stop hearing.

I regret to inform you that the infamous Raven’s Nest outcropping in Acadia (on the Schoodic side) is just as gorgeous as all the social media influencers want you to believe.

Woke up and realized I have started my annual Halloween tradition a little early! All of the Evil Dead franchise and I'll finish the Resident Evils today.

Haha…worlds colliding.

Take off Declan, and you suffer the consequences

This is Reece James, best right back in the world? Woof

As a senior in high school, there was no movie I saw more frequently at the "dollar-show" movie theater in town than "Event Horizon."

MIKELLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

Celebrating today the only way I know how!

Gotta love Macallister getting sat down on that goal

I think the player snitching on the player covering his mouth should get a yellow card at the very least...so pathetic.
