The Fredösphere

Via Ionarts, I present to you The Suspicious Cheese Lords.  Follow the links from their website to their CD vendor and you'll find the sound files for this all-male a cappella choir devoted to early music.  M'lords, here's a bit of advice:  get your own, better-quality sound files and link to them directly from your home page.  I'm fairly certain you sound great, but the sound files at CD Baby are compressed, yea unto death.  You need some sound snippets that do you more justice.

So, about this wacky name business, this "Suspicious Cheese Lords:"  I'm guessing there's an obscure historical reference in there, but it's over my head.  If it's a non sequitur, they missed their chance to maximize the all-important whimsy metric with a name like, oh, say the Doctrinaire Beeswax Enthusiasts or maybe the Supernal Interns of Ululation.  (Don't google those; I just now made them up.)

Ah, so that's where they got their name. Obscure reference, indeed.

Meanwhile, our eagle-eyed linkeratrix Lynn has classified a category of bad web page design.  Close readers of this blog will not be shocked to learn that Lynn has found a connection to religion (among other things).  We know such a webpage is not evidence that a given religion is bad (although religions can be bad; ooooh yes, they can), it may simply be an example of:  When Bad Design Happens to Good Religion.
