Double standards. this is obviously a selflink.

This guy is on my shortlist of possible members for a barbershop quartet.

Kronos Quartet did an amazing version of this piece, which upon listening will most defintely send chills down your spine.

I heard this again last night and it still stops me dead in my tracks. I'd agree with the above, it's more poignant as a quartet.

(edit) here's a link to the Kronos Quartet version

I love this song. I sang this arrangement with a quartet years ago. Ahhh memories.

...and I think their accents are cute.

heh - to the title... yes and sort-of no

yes, they went too far in *opposing* same-sex marriage with prop 8

sort-of no, they should have joined together with the same-sex-marriage crowd, stipulating that they would *support* these non-traditional unions *if* said crowd also backed and pushed just as hard for other "eyebrow-raising" arrangements... namely polygamy

if, for instance, we were to allow (for the sake of "being in love" as the foundation of the defacto equal-rights challenge) he to marry him and she to marry her... then why stop at a simple *pairing*? who's to say that you can't "be in love" as a trio, quartet, quintet, etc? why the seemingly arbitrary domestic *duo*? seems to me that in an age of latch-key kids and with the prevalence of each parent to be career-oriented... that our kids may need a larger parental "pool" to meet their needs properly

imho, mormons and gays should join forces to settle this government interference once and for all, with the caveat that we draw the line at beastialiteurs and those wishing legalized bondings with the inanimate

You know I have to say that the piece does come across as a bit overwrought and unsubtle. I would like to hear the quartet version now but it's not one of my favourite pieces.

You're welcome, my first Sift furriend.

BTW, have you checked out MTV Music yet? You might be able to find some music videos there that you like, AND you can replace some of your old music video embeds from them too. Go back and look at some of your old music videos (especially your '80s videos), and I'll bet at least 10% of them are dead right now. I know mine were.

You know what sucks? For being MTV, the video quality ain't that great. I've found higher quality videos at Dailymotion. The biggest problem: Dailymotion has a target painted on its back these days just as big as YouTube's. The big labels are hunting down copyright infringers there with a vengeance. Again, I speak from personal experience. That's why I replaced many of my old embeds with the MTV embeds, even if the old ones still worked. I'm tired of replacing embeds 2 or 3 times for some videos because of *deadness. You know what I mean.

MTV's 'Search' function kind of sucks right now too, so don't be afraid to use their alphabetical artist listing on the upper right hand side of the search bar. Another drawback: I guess MTV Music is blocked in Canada. However, as much as that sucks, technology exists to get around it. I'm afraid region blocking is the future, so we must all adapt. That includes our neighbors to the north.

Take care, sister Issy. You're always a ray of sunshine.
