So, Cantus is pretty much the best a capella group ever. It is a group of nine professional male singers who perform songs from pretty much all over the world. Yesterday, they did a Christmas concert. I went to see it. It was amazing. Their intonation is perfect. Their tempo is perfect. Their songs make my hackles rise and my arm hair stand on end. It is such good music, it's nearly unbelievable. I advocate everyone ever going to see them perform. It will change how you view good music.
They're funny, too... one guy does a lot of little hand motions for one of the gospel songs, one mimicked a trumpet and is the most Jewish guy I have ever seen try to be black, one is the whitest black guy I have ever heard succeed in being black, and one speaks on a register most men can hardly think about (low, that is, not high). It's awesome.

Carpe Diem Ad Muertum
Sieze the day, to the death. There is no potential that shall be passed by, there is no piece of glory to fall by the wayside, there is no soul to left unsaved by the brilliance of language. As writers, we are gods.
