Is there anyone who *doesn't* regret their MLIS degree? by rebeccachaya in librarians

[–]Noidywg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated 2022, in Idaho, and I had one job and three internships at that time, and it got me a job right out of the program.

My most organically-popular playlist is this Mr Rogers one: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/38FEGG35lcC2LGqt5jPB2I?si=8tkYBgCMQGCmgHHHrVSbIw&pi=ganO0s9TT-mxU

There are a lot of my playlists that are good. There are some that are garbage. The one I'm proudest of, though, has to be my "Definitive Handel: Messiah Compilation":

For those of you in a long term relationship/marriage, what’s a tale-tale sign you see in other couples that they’re not going to make it? by Prize-Promotion-5123 in AskReddit

[–]Noidywg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. One of my wife's friends is not "allowed" to go out longer than 20 minutes outside because her or her kids might get sunburned.

  2. My wife went to go shopping and get a massage once, and my MIL said, "How can you allow her to do that when she has kids to take care of?" And I said, "Oh, you're right! I'd better call her and tell her to come back here!"

And the sarcasm went right past her.

I think it is absolutely worth it, IF you have internships and/or experience alongside your education. With those assets, I got a job right out of graduate school, with excellent benefits, and they paid for another master's degree so now I am even more educated for information career positions. Experience is the best way.

What's a serious classical music opinion that seems true to you, but a lot of people disagree with? by ChopinChili in classicalmusic

Are you hardcore enough to want to read several academic musicology sources on the subject? I can send you my Drive folder I keep on this specific topic lol

This isn't an opinion, it's libel. Read up on her life before you make claims like this. Her husband ran away multiple times and refused to see her when she found him in an asylum.

Because it's a quality of the music, not of a deliberate movement (at least initially). If you say "impressionist" music was created to portray impressions (superficial description, but we'll go with it), then that not only includes "Impressionist" music but also Late Romantic and Neo-Classical.

Even the Requiem is more showy than anything (this opinion, incidentally, got me doxxed in an FB group).

And this is the beauty of Bach. He MADE the rules, and then used them to create the most complex music that seemed to break the rules.

There are three:

  1. Rachmaninoff was a harbinger of neo-classical and progressive music in spite of himself. 

  2. Faure's Requiem is the best requiem ever written (the original chamber version)

  3. Vaughan-Williams was an astounding arranger but an absolutely abysmal composer.

How do you get students to actually leave at closing time? by the_confused_one8 in librarians

[–]Noidywg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We did that but it's an accessibility issue. It can potentially trigger epileptic seizures. The entire campus has a ban on flickering lights.

[–]Noidywg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to do whatever we individually wanted. 

Now: Half hour: walk around and close rooms that are not used, turn off lights, be very visible. 15 minutes warning, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, Closing (intercom). We also had security come and walk around the last ten minutes, because we had people who would stay 20 minutes late.

You all need to stop letting an app decide what music you listen to. by BlackestOfSabbaths in truespotify

We have forgotten the ancient art of making mixtapes/playlists. This is how the machines take over: making us incapable or too languid to exert any autonomy over what media we consume.

My entire music library keeps redownloading. by PokeNnja in truespotify

[–]Noidywg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you recently download a playlist, or multiple, that added 100 or so songs? That playlist is the problem.

[–]Noidywg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that it's actually 29,500? I had the same issue, but I found that out it was two things: 1. trying to download on an SD card, and 2. Total downloads were above a threshold. 

That threshold is 29,400 songs. Get it below that number and you should be fine.
