Watch what's been lost: Classic Church songs on classic Church bells

At Church this past Sunday I was subjected to unfair criticisms of Gen. Augusto Pinochet, hero of Chile. But on a positive note, they actually played some decent music, one song of which was an English translation of an older song called "Mainz Gesangbuch" from 1870. Searching through google, I ran across this version of the song on bells and thought it was neat. It reminded me of how nice it is to be in one of the few remaining Churches which uses the bells.

Two songs that inspire creativity

Lately I've found that two songs, the Smashing Pumpkins' "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning" which I heard as part of the Watchman Trailer, and Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" have been very relaxing and enjoyable while trying to undertake some creative writing and other constructions. For as much as conservatives like to complain about the media, there are good nuggets out there and worthwhile books, songs, movies and things to absorb.
