The Aural Times
Sometimes  the events of the day are so bad, only a little song can salve the psychic wound. That's why The Aural Times provides such a valuable service in "singing the news so you don't have to." Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, this clever site gives a melodious treatment to all the news that's fit to sing. Some easy-on-the-ear hits from their repertoire: the haunting and lovely "Iran to Pursue Atomic Research Despite Russian Plan," the country-and-western-inflected "Thousands March Against Immigration Crackdown," and the wistful "VP Cheney Accidentally Shoots Man During Hunting Trip." The songs last about a minute, sometimes less (as in "Court: Hallucinogenic Tea OK"), and reflect the musical sensibilities of, say, Adam Sandler, or, on a good day, They Might Be Giants. So don't suffer in silence over your morning paper any more -- give a little listen. (in News & Media) |
