"A Place for Music"
Hey guess what guys guess what guess what? I just actually saw a really good musicology paper. Really! I was beginning to forget what they looked like—well-researched, but also with a point, revisionist, but also thoughtfully argued, well-written and entertainingly delivered. The dreary IHR seminar series has now surpassed everything I've seen at Oxford or Cambridge, although it will take a lot to make up for the painful IHR paper of two weeks ago (see also: vomit).
Someone recently said my blog was "cryptic." I suppose I shall endeavor to refrain from in-jokes for a while.
Anyway, after the paper, I went up to the speaker and complimented her, and she said, "and what's you name?" I told her. "Oh! G—B—! I've heard about you!" It totally felt like I was famous.
In other news, I'm looking forward to the arrival, on Thursday, of the conveniently-initialed "BF" more than I can say. (Oops, that was cryptic again wasn't it? Sorry.)

Well not horribly cryptic or anything. Incidentally, do I have to do something to publish your anonymous comments? They look like they show up on their own.
Just out of curiosity, who gave this paper? Or would it ruin the whole "cryptic" thing to reveal a name? Perhaps initials would suffice.
Over here, in job search land, we've heard better than average papers for a month. At first it was exhilarating; now I'm just glad it's over.

The paper was by Leanne Langley, a visiting fellow at Goldsmiths College. Smart lady.
Ooh I totally need to email some people to find out what Muxfeldt was like... Turns out RP really likes her.
