Choir Takes It Homer!

Typically I try to avoid filling my day with senseless smut and propaganda… but today I came across the golden calf of youtube fluff.
BEHOLD!

Expressing-The-Inexpressible: Alphonse de Lamartine
04.24.2009 by CountC
“Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.” – Alphonse de Lamartine
A Pre-Romantic Romantic, Lamartine ran the gamut as poet, politician, philosopher, beggar, genius, superman, et Expressor-of-the-Inexpressible.
Read: ‘Le Lac’ (’The Lake’)–it’s beautiful and elegant–born of an another age, another world where Art-and-Revolution mixed n’ mashed until the one could not be distinguished from the other. ‘Un-modern’ in its essence–a true classic.
The Lake
And so, driven on ceaselessly toward new shores,
carried beyond return into eternal darkness,
shall we never cast anchor for a
single day in the ocean of time?
O lake! the year has scarce run its course,
and by the cherished waves
that she was meant to see again, see now!
I come alone to sit upon
this stone where you saw her sit!
One evening, do you remember?
We were sailing in silence,
hearing over the waters and beneath the heavens
only the distant rhythmic beat of oarsmen on your harmonious waves.
Suddenly, a voice, its strains unknown on earth,
struck echoes from the enchanted shore;
the waters listened, and the voice which is
precious to me spoke these words:
“O time, suspend your flight! and you,
fortunate hours, stay your journey!
Let us savour the fleeting delights of the finest of our days.
Let us love, then, let us love!
be quick to enjoy the fleeting hour!
Mankind has no harbour, time has no shore;
it flows, and we pass on!”
O lake! wordless rocks! caves! dark forest!
You who are untouched or made young
again by time, cherish, fair nature, cherish at
least the memory of that night.
Let the moaning wind, the sighing reed,
the gentle scents of your fragrant air, let all that
is heard, seen or breathed, let all say:
“They have loved!”

Who Says We Shouldn’t Be Square?
04.18.2009 by BeatNursery
Ahh you’re such a square!
>You must be confused, I am not just one square but many all at the same time.
What madness are you rambling on about?
>Squares cubed and squared again make a lovely looking set on which music can bend.

No One On Da Corna Has Sneakers Like BoZZ
04.15.2009 by Bozz
My little eye(s), recently, spied some pretty fly sneaks that have got me all geeked out. These are the fresh off the lot, hot to trott, Terry Kenneth Super high, Super Pro, Supra Models that are on point and on spot like a polka dot. You most definitely will see these on my feet, stepping out of my turbo speed spaceship that goes from zero to infinity, faster then you can say ‘Jackie Robinson’. If I were a talking monkey that came back from the future and I could only say two things I’d say TK Supra and……..ficus.
(Sidebar-Go watch ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’)
!BoZZ!
