Wonderful. I hope that you don't mind my posting this in response, Mr. Man.
Last year, I had the opportunity to try Sacred Harp singing, and was floored by the experience. I have no musical training, and was slow to grasp the notation. But the sound produced is amazingly cathartic. Everyone should try it :smile:

Thanks for the clip imagemarie. The last line is great "my favorite song is the one I am singing".

Nice cover of a great song along with some great skiing.

Ok not posted what I listen too since page one or something so here goes
Blog, Suttas, Aj Chah, Facebook.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Reminds me of this, which is what I'm listening to right now.



Lyrics:
There's unlimited supply
And there is no reason why
I tell you it was all a frame
They only did it 'cos of fame
Who?

E.M.I.
E.M.I.
E.M.I.

Too many people had the suss
Too many people support us
Un unlimited amount
Too many outlets in and out
Who?

E.M.I
E.M.I
E.M.I

And certain friends are crucified
The day they wished that we had died
We are an addition
We are ruled by none
Never ever never

And you thought that we were faking
That we were all just money making
You do not believe we're for real
Or you would lose your cheap appeal?

Don't judge a book just by the cover
Unless you cover just another
And blind acceptance is a sign
Of stupid fools who stand in line
Like

E.M.I
E.M.I
E.M.I

Unlimted edition
With an unlimited supply
That was the only reason
We all had to say goodbye

Unlimited supply (E.M.I)
There is no reason why (E.M.I)
I tell you it was all a frame (E.M.I)
They only did it 'cos of fame (E.M.I)
I do not need the pressure (E.M.I)
I can't stand those useless fools (E.M.I)
Unlimited supply (E.M.I)
Hello E.M.I
Goodbye A & M

Those Mahayana have their kickass song:
http://satinoxide.bandcamp.com/track/th ... s-of-being" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ohm Ah Guru Namo Amito Hum

Visualize the body
Translucent as a rainbow
The three stages of being
My spirit, a drop
I am a traveller to the pure lands
The channel, the path
Dharmakaya near my lord’s heart
My destination

Scalp: Avalokiteshvara
Heart: Dharmakaya
The egg, The dome
Of white and oval light

May all creatures enjoy
The purity after the ritual
Spirit-drop, my heart, my soul
My body is like a bird
Spirit drops, into the core
Body dissolves in air
Drips and drops will drift
Fingers dissolve in water
Through all the lower doors
Closed and I reach
The pure land of the Buddha
