12/29/18 list of most memorable music for me from 2018

Here is the link to my December 29, 2018, Twitter thread about the music I found most memorable in 2018.

The thread also includes a tribute to Colin Ward, who was a great Denver artist and musician, and who passed away at the beginning of 2018.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is affected, but is still moderately coherent. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

2/4/18 review of Harmony Chorale performance of Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a 2018 performance of Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream, by the Harmony Chorale in Denver, Colorado.

The thread gives a summary of the choral work, as well as some background on its creators -- Steve Milloy of the Cincinnati Men's Chorus, One Voice Minnesota, One Voice Charlotte, The Quire of Eastern Iowa, and South Coast Chorale. The thread gives some background on the Harmony Chorale's Denver performance. The thread gives some background on Bayard Rustin. The thread discusses a lot of the work's themes, such as being black and LGBTQ in America, and the Civil Rights movement in America.

Some of my Twitter threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is moderately affected as a result. My apologies.

12/20/17 review of MV for "Ma vie, mes reves," by Ringo Sheena


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the music video for the Ringo Sheena song "Ma vie, mes reves."

The thread gives a summary of the song, and some background on Ringo Sheena and how she came to write the song. The thread gives some background on the fashions for the MV. The thread discusses how Ringo Sheena has used body language in her previous performances. It then looks at how she used body language in the MV for "Ma vie, mes reves," and what meaning the body language gives to the video.

Unfortunately -- this is yet another thread of mine that has been twisted around on Twitter -- with the tweets all being aligned out of chronological order, making the thread somewhat incoherent. My apologies.

Here is the link to my Twitter thread discussion of Jessica Jung and her song "Summer Storm."

The thread gives some background on Jessica Jung, including her history with the group Girls' Generation and her fashion label Blanc Group. The thread goes into some depth about how I'd been inspired, when Jung left Girls' Generation and Zayn Malik left One Direction, to start writing a fanfiction, The Direction of a Generation -- which, by the way, I never finished. The thread also discusses some of Jung's other songs, as well as Malik's song "Pillowtalk."
