how did everybody suddenly find out I was looking for more archeology accounts to follow

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

Gefeliciteerd, welverdiend! 🥂

Gotta love that we know this at all

Abstract of the paper and turnaround time from submission to publication.

Example double page of the Flora Batava series including illustration and text sections. Letters indicate the different segments of the text: a) “species names”, b) “flowering time”, c) “classification”, d) “sexual characteristics”, e) “species traits”, f) “habitat”, g) “medicinal use”, h) “domestic use”.

It's incredibly important to have a journal like Open Humanities Data. Had the pleasure working with @l-teixeiracosta.bsky.social to publish a dataset of 11k+ records from the first illustrated flora of the Netherlands (19th century)

👀 Look at that turnaround time: 1 month!

were you aware that the thing that sounds like a siren in “I Like to Move It” is actually a sample of Sylvester from “You Make Me Feel”?? youtu.be/vuo8kD5zF5I?...

I’ve only managed to once, but saw more memorable shows than all of the rest of that year

100% agree

The fomo is very real

Done, cheers! Hope to catch you there

Long shot. Does anyone here know if AIMC this week supports single day, same day registration? Looks like no, from the site. But I’m interested in dropping by on Friday.

I don’t enjoy sharing these things, but I feel like the alternative (collectively) is worse.

How does one productively channel the anger from hearing so many stories like this?

Reading David Huron’s Sweet Anticipation, on his decades of work on music and expectation, and his 1999 Ernest Bloch lectures (e.g. on empiricism in music research) significantly shaped the way I thought about music & science.

Dave’s post here definitely resonates:

Am reading a big music information retrieval paper purportedly studying trends in musical complexity over time. But then you get in there and the data set is comprised entirely of MIDI files. So this is not a study of music, this is a study of the aspects of music that can be notated.
