God’s Chosen Musicians
All that Gregorian Chanting and those dreadful dreary hymns are *so* last epoch! God’s representative on Earth, his Holiness Pope Benedict the 16th has (for the Lord’s own ineffable reasons) got a myspace account, and has had his chaps at the Vatican put together a few playlists, apparently “a perfect mix of classical, world and contemporary music. The genres are very different from each other, but all these artists share the aim to reach the heart of good minded people.” Nice to see that Tupac and Muse have got the same standing as Mozart in the eyes of the Church… although from what I hear Mozart was a bit of a racy character, and more likely to have headed downstairs than through the pearly gates.You could try submitting your own music for a feature – after all, getting in with the big guy couldn’t hurt your chances of a No.1.
