Video Find of the Day
New information requires me to reassess the nature of Broadstripe's suckiness. On the one hand, it turns out that we have not been suffering from a general outage. Our outage is specific to us (Anitra and I). On the other hand, they told us in an automated phone message that it was. On the third hand, we really should have known they were lying, called back and made them tell the truth. On the fourth hand, we have just now run out of hands between us, now, because we believed their lying suck-ass recorded message, we can't get someone to fix it now until Tuesday.
Meanwhile, one of the Real Change vendors recommended this music to me. It's from The Thin Red Line, a movie about the battle for Guadalcanal I've never seen.

Movie Swing Gospel
Video Find of the Day
According to the description Lilian Roth and Mitzi Green are singing in this. I tried to use that to find the title of the film but it didn't work for me. Maybe I'm too wasted from a day of meetings. Or maybe the date is wrong. But it sure looks like 1930, doesn't it?

Gospel Singing, Tahitian Style
Video Find of the Day
Polyphonic song in the service of the Lord, in the Tahitian language. Throughout Polynesia Himene means Christian hymns in the native language. The word is borrowed from the word "hymn", but the music is always only half European. In this case, as these are Tahitians, the European half is mainly French. I believe I can hear the French influence in Tahitian Himene as well as in most other Tahitian music. (Note that in the first and last video, all the singers are dressed just like French peasants from the period of Gauguin & Van Gogh.) I can also hear the ocean, which is never far away.
Tamarii Papara for Himene Tarava Tahiti at Heiva 1989
A humorous song, the description says, but I don't know what it's about yet:
Ute Arearea by Tamarii Rautea Heiva 1994
Tahaa I Te Pia Tarea for Himene Tarava Raromatai in 1989
