Re: Sound Change Quickie Thread
velar-uvular fricative contrasts also occur in Seri, and are common in the Qiangic languages and probably in the Tibetan dialects of Sichuan and Yunnan as well

Re: A Very Brief Explanation of the British Election
OK, apparently the impeachment didn't have as much popular support/impact as I thought. My impression is that Clinton played for different target demographics in 2016 than in 2008, and that that didn't go over well. But I can't find polls for the 2008 Democratic primary with demographic breakdowns, ...

Re: Classical Composers
Holy minimalism tends to be more accessible than minimalism proper - it's more consonant, and it tries to connect minimalism with mediaeval religious music, rather than with the avant garde. Minimalism isn't accessible? Look at the history of pop music. To this layman, it doesn't look healthy - at ...

Never heard of Brouwer, despite taking years of guitar. I wouldn't have guessed that classical guitar would get so close to "math rock" (a stupid name) -- but then, the division between the two isn't always clear-cut, especially when there are no fancy pop music tricks involved.

A diversion! Since we've finished the trinity and haven't gotten on to the second rank yet, I thought now might be time for something different.
