I like jazz choirs and 80s music, too

Courtesy of my friend, Bill:

Please wach this video of a Slovenian jazz choir called Perpetuum Jazzile performing Toto's "Africa." The thunderstorm effects are the best part.

I don't know how to embed a video yet, particularly one yanked from YouTube. Anyone care to enlighten me?

In the meantime, if you want to know what has actually been inspiring me lately, listen to Lorraine Hunt-Lieberson's recordings of Mahler's Ruckert Lieder. Here's "Um Mitternacht" and here are three more from that album. The last one, "Liebst du um Schonheit," is one of the most beautiful love songs I know. We had Clara Schumann's setting of the same poetry sung at our wedding - I still can't decide which I like more, Clara Schumann's or Mahler's. What say you?
