A couple of doctors having a chat! 🏄🏻‍♂️🎶
Have you seen the Beach Boys doco? What did you reckon? Good Vibrations? Heroes & Villains? Fun Fun Fun? God Only Knows? @hellodrjadey has some thoughts, is literally a Beach Boys scholar, and is on ABC radio NSW today!

Love back atcha, my wonderful friend ♥️@bryanestepa
This is an appreciation post for these 4 tremendous musicians who have added so much to my music over the past few years. A lot of what I have done would not be what it is without their artistry, friendship, and that ladies' touch that smooths out a lot of my rough edges.

Barbados Bryan is right, get in the yacht already. It’s gonna be smooth!
'HEY! hey, you, YOU!...Get into my Yacht.. who me? Yes you. Get into my Yacht!' That's my hard sell for @ssyachtrockparty massive NYE show at Marrickville Bowling Club. It's seriously gonna be the most fun you're gonna have with your hat on. #Doobiebounce

Two amazing nights showcasing our CMP 4th years. Every set had something special, and my heart was so full to see them express who they are through their amazing songs. They are so special to me, I continue to be so humbled by their music and their care of me too.

Can’t wait to be reelin’ in new years with some of my favorite people in the silliest and most fun band I’ve ever played in ♥️
Let all 13 of us help you bring in 2024 with a hearty sing-along and a whole lotta dancing. I can 99.9% guarantee a whale of a night will be had. #yachtrock

The Sydney Con's support for the Uluru Statement and the Voice was endorsed yesterday, after a collaborative drafting process with First Nations staff & students, & non-FN staff. It's important to many of us after the disappointment of USyd's non-committal statement last week!
The Sydney Conservatorium of Music has voted to support the Voice to Parliament. Led by First Nations staff and students, the successful vote affirms the Con's endorsement of the Uluru Statement and support for a Voice to Parliament. bit.ly/3PgOwYT

Replying to @drtimbyron
@drtimbyron, Using continuous self-report to investigate hooks in popular music hooks/compound hooks id'ed by musicologists appear to predict participant ratings of what is standing out/easily remembered...sort of. Need to think beyond the binary @icmpc17 #icmpc17 #MusicScience

Surprisingly wholesome scene at the Con the last few days - someone drew 4 squares in chalk out the front and students have been playing handball together at lunch.

This was genuinely one of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever seen at a gig. Ladies supporting ladies, we are so lucky to have Lizzo. ♥️
Lizzo has a heartfelt moment with a young fan at her show in Sydney, Australia. ❤️

Definitely one of the coolest things we've done after our little book came out. @all_isee and @LexWeaver1 are the best team ever. Finally, my dreams of being a sciencey musicy person like TMBG are getting closer...
Was wonderful to be part of the Science Tent at Splendour In The Grass with @hellodrjadey, @LexWeaver1 and @all_isee talking about hooks, cognitive science, and AI to an attentive if potentially slightly hungover crowd🙂
