The Church, the Choirister, and the Devil
Star Trek is a religion. I could have told you that. I did tell you that.
Diva Dianne is a friend who is just like me; she sings, blogs, and occasionally is heard hangin' out at the Starship Sofa podcast. Her latest post rants on a topic dear to my heart:
I find it shocking how rarely it is to find a classical singer you can actually understand. Concern these days is often placed solely on a "beautiful" sound at the expense of nearly everything else. If singers would pay more attention to vowel quality and intensity many of the inconsistencies and "problems" would melt away. But many are so busy covering up technical deficiencies they have no idea how to actually remedy them.Finally, via SF Signal, enjoy this creepy trailer for the new BBC offering, Torchwood: Children of Earth, although those of us with kids of our own will find no new information here. If I am allowed one critique of this (truly hair-raising) video, its that it gives too much away. I think its punch would be most forceful if it would end with the little dears barking their first communal words: We. We Are. WE ARE COMING! Yow.
And now, pardon me while I rush home and lock my kids in the basement.

Hey, thanks for mentioning and providing a link to my blog. You prompted me to fix the typo and to modify that very paragraph a bit. Didn't change the essential rant, but basically made my view clearer. I didn't realize this was an issue close to your heart. Yet another reason to like you. Drat!
