[Smt-talk] music theory on slate

[Andrew Schartmann]

For anyone interested, here is the article that inspired Pallet to write a
theory-based analysis of a Katy Perry song:

Needless to say, Gioia's article generated quite a controversy online.

Also, I'm pretty sure Pallet's title ("Explaining the genius of Katy
Perry's 'Teenage Dream'--using music theory") is meant to be facetious.
