Radiohead - Creep

The chromatic chord progression (Gmaj, Bmaj, Cmaj, Cmin) is mirrored by Yorke's vocal melody (B, B♭, A, G during the Gmaj chord).

Fisman & Tuite used 🔥 modelling to show higher uptake of COVID vax reduces (not blocks) odds of infection at pop'n level. Of course, for high risk folks (asthma, immunocompromised, any diabetes, ❤️ condition, etc), that's not enough.

For those who might be interested in a longer version of my recent CMAJ paper, I’ve uploaded one to Medium. It’s around double the length of the published one.

🚨 Important new article on gender self-determination as a medical right in CMAJ! I argue that people have a right to gender-affirming care and that many common barriers aren’t justified by evidence. Trans health needs to centre human rights more! 🏳️‍⚧️

Day 24

A Song That Uses Major 7th Chords

The Beatles- Something

The song's progression from Cmaj to Cmaj7, to C7 to Fmaj creates a smooth descent. The I,I∆7, I 7,IV progression appears in many songs (Adele's Love Is A Game also in C).

How to turn any mode into a bebop scale:

If the mode has a natural 7, add a chromatic note between the 5 and 6.

CMaj: C D E F G A B C
CMaj Bebop: C D E F G G# A B C

If the mode has a b7, add a chromatic note between the b7 and octave.
