<p>On my iPhone I loaded up a number of old movies and old TV shows (40s, 50s) that I downloaded from a public domain source so I can watch them while on a flight.</p>
<p>“Tenebrae’s” version of Allegri’s Miserere</p>
<p>I recently found a recording of [this</a> work](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDRoL7ziDP4&feature=related]this”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDRoL7ziDP4&feature=related) by a group known as [“Tenebrae”[/url</a>]. In Tenebrae’s recording boys are replaced by women, which thing is abominable in almost every case where it occurs. But in Tenebrae’s case the performance is genuine, technically precise, and while not as round and pure as the Trinity version referenced earlier, it is at least as emotionally intense. So now I have yet another version of this work on my iphone.</p>
<p>Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut iustificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicaris.
Ecce enim in inquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi.
Asperges me, Domine, hyssopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.
Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.
Ne proiicias me a facie tua: et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.
Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui: et spiritu principali confirma me.
Docebo iniquos vias tuas: et impii ad te convertentur.
Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae: et exsultabit lingua mea iustitiam tuam.
Domine, labia mea aperies: et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.
Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique: holocaustis non delectaberis.
Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum, et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.
Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem.
Tunc acceptabis sacrificium iustitiae, oblationes, et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.</p>
<p>I should add that if you want to hear some of the most bone-jarring yet accurate choral voices, both upper and lower, that you are ever likely to hear, then you won’t find a better source than Tenabrae. I can’t find full online recordings for you, but if you like choral music, then [url=<a href=“eClassical.com High Resolution FLAC & MP3 Classical Music Download Store”>eClassical.com High Resolution FLAC & MP3 Classical Music Download Store]listen</a> to the brief sample here of Sheremetiev’s “Now ye heavenly powers”](<a href=“http://www.signumrecords.com/catalogue/sigcd085/index.shtml]“Tenebrae”[/url”>http://www.signumrecords.com/catalogue/sigcd085/index.shtml). Shocking.</p>
<p>Sigur Ros – (various works)</p>
<p>My oldest daughter was into this group long before it became known here in the states. And as I initially listened to it, I generally thought is was frivolous, though I enjoyed some of the things taking place. Then my daughter sent [url= <a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks0iKRY8ejc]this[/url”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks0iKRY8ejc]this[/url</a>] to me, and I finally understood how she interpreted the music. There is a great deal of inexplicable joy here. The lyrics are meaningless to me. I have heard they are meaningless in truth, but I am not exactly sure about this. From my perspective the lack of direct verbal meaning does not reduce the overall effect of the sound to the sort of trivial, near experimental effect I often hear in modern music. The artists have somehow discovered how to transmit full meaning to me, using lyrics that to me have no direct meaning, and the human utterances produce an effect that allows human experience to ride unhindered over all. I loaded up the iphone with a lot of this stuff, both older and more recent.</p>

<p>share URL please :-)</p>
<p>^^ Google ‘internet movie archive’</p>
<p>You can then click on ‘movies’ then ‘feature films’ and poke around. The MP4 files load right up on the iPhone.</p>
<p>Since the battery on the iPhone isn’t that great I thought I might get through half a movie before running out of juice but I ended up watching almost 5 hours of video and still had almost half the battery left. This was in ‘airplane mode’ which shuts off the transmitters of the phone.</p>
<p>I don’t have it yet, but I want to get the Michael Franti song (don’t quite know the title, but it’s something like “love you”).
And Drosselmeier, are you a closet Nutcracker fan?</p>
<p>D turned me onto Grizzly Bears’ new album, for those of you Fleet Foxes fans. Love it.</p>
<p>Saw Jackson Browne in concert last night, and he has a new version of Lives in the Balance, with an additional verse sung by his two backup singers, who are absolutely, unbelievably phenomenal (Chavonne and Alethea). Am trying to find a recording of it, but the new version with the new verse (which is now my favorite verse of the song) isn’t anywhere to be found yet. </p>
<p>lyrics of new verse:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Am also really liking one of the new DMB songs - Funny The Way It Is. Dave’s been on Letterman twice this week!</p>
<p>Hisgracefillsme - I’ve just become aware of Kings of Leon, and like what I’ve heard so far.</p>
<p>WHen I used to attend concerts in my teens/early 20’s, we often skipped the opening bands- unless they were just as big as the main act.
Didn’t skip any of Aerosmith/Kiss/Ted Nugent, for example, but while we saw Jackson Browne quite a few times, I don’t remember who opened.</p>
<p>But since I have been following Pearl Jam, I have made it a point to hear their openers, because not only are they often selected by the band, but Eddie Vedder, often does an acoustic set to warm up the crowd for the * opener*</p>
<p>KOL is a group that PJ has toured with, and I saw them at Bumpershoot a couple years ago. They were great, lots of energy, nice ministers kids, ( but although Eddie sat on the stage throughout their set, he didn’t sing)
[listen to this](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4ZG4_fOoNc”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4ZG4_fOoNc</a>)</p>
<p>Terriwitt, I * love DMB* although I have never seen them live, they play at the Gorge every Labor Day weekend, and H can’t stand them for some reason- but next year I am going.</p>
<p>Pearl Jam also often tours with Ben Harper, or Eddie shows up when he tours by himself, this year for part of their PJs tour, Ben has a new band the Relentless 7, not sure what the crossover is with the Innocent Criminals.</p>
<p>( I already mentioned the Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears from Austin, for anyone who likes James Brown/blues/soul , they are a can’t miss)</p>
