LCSH Week 27: of gay choirs and sackbuts

The Lower East Side Librarian Library of Congress Subject Heading of the Week for Week 27, July 7, 2010 is:

(C) 150 Gay choirs [May Subd Geog] [sp2010003068]
450 UF Gay choruses
550 BT Choirs (Music)
The authority record is linked to Gay and lesbian choirs [proposed]. The 040 cites WaU, the University of Washington. Don’t tell anyone, but I think they’re part of the Gay Cataloging Mafia.

Honorable mentions:
(C) 150 Amnesia in motion pictures [Not Subd Geog] [sp2010010735]
550 BT Motion pictures
Can you believe there’s no Amnesia in soap operas? (The LCSH is actually Television soap operas, btw.)

* 150 Calking CANCEL
150 Caulking [May Subd Geog] [sp 85018928]
450 UF Calking [EARLIER FORM OF HEADING]
550 BT Sealing (Technology)
I do prefer the preferred spelling.

150 Library resources [May Subd Geog] [sp 85076716]
* 550 RT Library materials
Scope note: Here are entered general works describing the resources and collections available in libraries for research. Works describing library resources and collections available in a particular field are entered under the subject with subdivision Library resources, e.g. Biology--Library resources; United States--Library resources.

150 Relief pitchers (Baseball) [May Subd Geog] [sp2002002018]
* 450 UF Closers (Baseball)
* 450 UF Closing pitchers (Baseball)
* 450 UF Firemen (Baseball)
I appreciate LC’s effort, but I can hardly see baseball aficionados looking up Closers, rather than Relief pitchers, much less Firemen!

(C) 150 Sackbut and harpsichord music [May Subd Geog] [sp2010010896]
450 UF Harpsichord and sackbut music
(C) 150 Sackbut and organ music [May Subd Geog] [sp2010010897]
450 UF Organ and sackbut music
This dude’s a total sackbut!
