Guys, like, fuck the Christian church and everything, but there still some damn pretty hymns and I need you guys (aka professional recording choirs) to DIAL THE FUCK IN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU SELF ID AS CHRISTIAN…

"Eben-Ezer" is all short e sounds - eh-behn eh-zehr - the "Ebenezer Scrooge" pronunciation may be correct for a name, but not actually correct for "Eben Ezer" - AS IN - AND FURTHERMORE - SPECIFICALLY - "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" - which is a real banger - Ebenezer is CLEARLY SUPPOSED to RHYME WITH PLEASURE - like even Cole Porter wouldn't deliberately try to fudge a rhyme that bad!

and also - come on people - A Christmas Carol was published in 1843; the hymn was written by Robert Robinson in 1757/8

the Mack Wilberg arrangement of Come Thou Fount is so fucking stunning but the long-e EbenEEzer just kills my soul every time and totally glitches the vibe

Grassroots music can open extraordinary doors, as Sydney Philharmonia Choirs members discovered when they performed at the BBC Proms in London's Royal Albert Hall.

Continuing with collaboration, agnosis was a collaboration with an old college buddy from my undergraduate days and a local friend from my PHD days (and her husband). This one is well outside the standard aboombong vein with touches of Dead Can Dance and #Frippertronics
