So next week, I'm helping my friends get ready for their wedding (including moving stuff), and the week after that I'm looking at houses. Also, next week, I am speaking at both the wedding and reception, and singing at the former.

This, of course, explains why I have picked up a cold that has caused me to lose most of my voice, and why a week and a half ago an old knee injury got bad enough to cause me to consult a doctor, who told me that I probably have a torn meniscus, and may require surgery. In the meantime, walking or standing for more than a few minutes at a time is somewhat awkward and painful, and sitting down doesn't help much either.

*sigh* Couldn't these things have waited a couple of months?

via BoingBoing: The Tuvan throatsinger punk band Albert Kuvezin and Yat-Kha are providing free downloads of some of their songs. Unfortunately, I don't know the original songs for which MP3s are provided, but it's worth listening to one of them even if you're in the same boat. Kind of reminds me of my "THERE IS NO DANA, THERE IS ONLY ZOOL" voice, but it's not quite the same--more melodic (and probably easier on the singer's throat, too).

via [livejournal.com profile] filkertom: In the service of an advertisement, VW has created an, um, updated version of "Singin' In The Rain" [Quicktime movie]. Sort of. It's pretty cool, though, and technically well done.
