In a world we must defend

Leonard Cohen Narrates NFB’s ‘Tibetan Book of the Dead’ Film From 1994
This two-part series, narrated by Leonard Cohen, explores ancient teachings on death and dying. It was filmed over a four-month period on location in the Himalayas where the original text still yields an essential influence over people’s views of life and death. A Way of Life contains footage of the rites and liturgies surrounding and following the death of a Ladakhi elder. The Dalai Lama explains his own feelings about death, while other scenes within a palliative care hospice in San Francisco depicts the use of the texts to counsel dying AIDS patients. This film, by revealing ancient teachings on how to think about death and dying, can be a valuable source of counsel and comfort.

Hear a 1,000-year-long-song, and you’re only 15 years too late, but it’s ok
Longplayer is a musical composition that has been playing since the beginning of the year 2000, and will play on, never repeating, until it reaches the point at which it first started, exactly 1000 years later. Longplayer is in effect an everlasting piece of music; its score mirrors a planetary system, six musical events whose orbits come into phase once a millennium.
Until now, Longplayer has only been accessible by visiting a handful of “listening posts” or via an online stream.
This app is the first standalone version of Longplayer, creating the music in real time based on the composition’s thousand-year-long score. It requires no data connection and automatically synchronises itself with every other copy of the app across the globe. With this app, you become part of a community of listeners distributed through space and time, across many lifetimes.
The song was created by The Pogues founder Jem Finer. Without feeling a tad bit optimistic, this song just may crack the charts for the next 51,220 weeks.

Selena Gomez’s Advice For Wanna-Be Singers
Selena Gomez had a bit of revelation recently when it came to singing, and it’s pretty good advice for any beginning singer or YouTube future star, who keep wanting to hit every note in the scale in the same line all the time. Selena is now hitting her stride, vocals-wise, and she figured how she sounds best and playing to her strengths.
“For ‘Good for You’ I wanted to find my sweet spot, if you will. I know that maybe vocally I wouldn’t be the greatest singer in the world, but I know my strengths now. I know that I can translate emotion and heart, and I’ve written more than I’ve ever written on any album for this record. I have a lot to prove, but I think, for instance, this song is totally in my register. It’s smoky and fun and sexy.”
