Christ is Risen!


Be Poets of the Logos!

Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh". This is the blog of a Southern Man (sojourning in Buffalo, NY) attempting to follow God in the way of Jesus.

NB: I'm currently on a "Blogging Sabbatical" to celebrate my 15th Year of online Journaling. While "Daily Tweets", the occasional review of a book, movie or eatery and Photo Blogging all continue, the daily posts have stopped until January 2011. All comments are currently in moderation.

Disclaimer

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men.

Electroluminescent

International Revolution

Vatican: Beatles’ music better than today’s

HIS IS Oddly surreal. Vatican Press is clearly being run by a bunch of ageing Boomers now: The newspaper as well as Vatican Radio last week noted the 40th anniversary of the Beatles’ “White Album.” It said the album demonstrated how creative the Beatles were, compared with what it called the “standardized, stereotypical” songs being [...]

Like Kennedy

KAY, OKAY. I have to post this one – even though it breaks my promise to stay out of the presidential silliness. Complete with a quote from noted Revolutionary, Socialist, (and personal hero) James Connolly… This takes on our ideas of race as much as our politics. For any white American who said he had [...]

Music for Two

ER HOST Just heard about this – probably *Way* behind the times. Traditional Orthodox chant arranged for only two voices, together with media files all set for the training of musicians (Orthodox, Eastern Rite RCs or Anglicans…): All the music on this site is free and includes sheet music in PDF format, audio files (in [...]

Shuffle!

HE ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive presents an essay on the technique of Musical Timing as used in Cartoons of the “Merrie Melodies” era. They also offer a free download of the cartoon they are discussion – in this case an animated children’s play to the tune of “Shuffle off to Buffalo”. It seems to answer the [...]
