I also analyze songs where DLTLs reflect lyrical themes of conflict, duality & emotional pull (5/6).

Using data from the McGill Billboard corpus & a more recent post-millennial corpus, I show DLTLs are more common in recent decades—reflecting a shift in harmonic language. (4/6).

I first explored DLTLs in film/TV scores to show how they represent being pulled in two directions. Now, I trace their growing role in post-2000 pop/rock music. (3/6).

What’s a Dual Leading-Tone Loop (DLTL)?.It’s a short chord loop that contains leading tones from both major & relative minor keys, creating rich tonal tension & ambiguity. (2/6).

I was pleased to speak on the record with James Hall at The Telegraph about Radiohead's *The Bends*—click below for my hot take on who was and wasn't influenced by this legendary record!

I’m giving a talk on Radiohead at a bike shop that serves beer, so, I guess that’s like all my personality traits

So honored to see my work influencing one of my favorite YouTube music theorists of all time, 12tone!.

On this, the eve of my 20th year teaching new college students, I still have a few butterflies! @MusicKU.

It was an absolute pleasure to chat with Lydia Bangura about my research on hip-hop music videos, and also a little bit about my band D'Archipelago! Listen to *Her Music Academia* wherever you get your podcasts

first night not using the baby monitor GIFT US STRENGTH.

“Take us there, Bear” + [“Nice Dream”] = SOBBING.

I’m on a podcast NOT talking about Radiohead (mostly). Tune in for a chat about my band D’archipelago and my approach to composing metal.

RT @rickhellman: Brad Osborn, aka @MusicKU prof @RadioheadBook, is also aka the black-metal band D'Archipelago, & his new EP, "EVILSIZOR,"….
