hymns of the 49th parallel: Simple and Love is Everything by kd lang

Posted on by

Hymns of the 49th Parallel is possibly the most perfect album Canada has ever produced, and this two-song promotional video may just be beautiful enough to do it justice. I’ve followed kd lang since she was a two-bit Edith Prickley impersonator bopping around on Tommy Hunter‘s show [originally wrote “bopping around on Tommy Hunter” but realized that, to non-Canadians, this would give entirely the wrong impression!] and her voice has just gotten better over time. This lovely black and white video brings these two lovely and contemplative songs to life in a uniquely Canadian way. I hope you like them (if you can’t hear them, go somewhere you can; don’t just sit there!).

Show me the luv at the Bloggie Awards, people!

Looks like YouTube got their caca together and fixed itself right on time; if it had been otherwise, I could never have brought you the following unique treasure, this retsina for your retinas, this Everclear for your eyeballs, this sulphuric acid for your synapses.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the great Mahatma Gandhi, one of the 20th Century’s most inspiring and important figures, stripping and making sweet, sweet love to the pole, for your sick pleasure.

Stole this from Curtis at Can’t See the Forest. Someone alert Gawker: How did my biography get on the web already? Must be a leak somewhere; when in doubt, blame Judith Regan.
