For those of you who have yet to be introduced to him, Sufjan Stevens is one of my favorites. He's an excellent lyricist, and just happens to be something rare: a talented artists who just happens to be a Christian. I'm posting two songs from him for this Good Friday weekend. The first is titled "To Be Alone With You". Many, including the producers of "The O.C." (who used this track for their show), apparently assumed it was a romantic song. But it seems to be more about the crucifixion (at least in part).
The next song is "Majesty Snowbird", literally the best song I have ever heard in my life. It is just over ten minutes in length, but is the most beautiful, sweeping song I have ever heard. This is the tune I put on when I'm having a horrible day (or week or month) just to remind me how much good there is in the world. A little melodramatic, sure, but just watch:
Consider this an open thread for the weekend. I might post if I feel like it, or if giant news breaks, but it is likely that I won't.
UPDATE: "Majesty Snowbird" is an unreleased track, but a mp3 of this song can be downloaded for free at the end of this post.

"Majesty Snowbird" sounds intriguing. Looked around for a studio recording to listen to, but couldn't find one. Do you know of one?
Snagged the mp3. Thanks! It has much cleaner sound than the youtube version. (Left a bit of my hearing in the desert, you see. Difficult to make out muddied audio, sometimes.)
And thanks for the blogroll link, as well.
Most companies put a standard recommended dose on the bottle, but there are also cases where people may need more (or less) than the recommended amount to achieve the desired effect. Suppressing the appetite should not be a replacement for good nutrition and healthy living. But since the big pharmaceutical companies have had difficulty producing large quantities of the synthetic form of the active ingredient in Hoodia, the most successful Hoodia products are those that directly use the plant's extract. Unfortunately there are plenty of supplements on the market which pretend to be it and which when taken have no effect whatsoever on the user. Thankfully a pill has come along that takes away all of the struggle and frustration in weight loss: Hoodia Formula.
