I didn’t watch the Grammys, but I was thrilled to read that Doechii won a Grammy for “Alligator Bites Never Heal,” one of my favorite albums from 2024. If you haven’t checked out Doechii yet, you’re in for a treat. I highly recommend her Tiny Desk Concert:

Tchubi’s “Diary of a Dead Men” was one of my favorite albums of 2024. Not content to rest on his laurels, Tchubi has now released a fantastic live version of the album. Make sure you listen to the end to catch Tchubi’s freestyle.

Totally agree with @MourelleNoel! JSCS is great!
Highlighting this because I know the JSCS is not the most obvious place for Iberian Premodernists to publish, but my experience with them is that they are thorough, kind, and generous. If you have a cool article, keep them in mind.

Thank you so much, @gautambhatia88, for these kind words about my book, "On Earth or in Poems" (@Harvard_Press). I'm honored.
Loved reading “On Earth or in Poems: the Many Lives of Al-Andalus”, by @eric_calderwood. A book about the various ways in which Al-Andalus has been represented in art and literature, it made Granada come alive. And the chapter on Palestinian al-Andalus was particularly moving.
