I wish I was at the Bjorcharist

I am fan of U2Charist, a worship form that a buddy of mine Sarah Dylan Breuer helped give birth to a little over 5 years ago.  These gatherings have spread around the globe, inspired by Bono's anti-poverty crusade.

Today, Church of the Beloved in Seattle will be hosting a Bjorcharist, a mash-up of the lovely and inspiring music of Bjork & the Book of Common Prayer liturgy for the Eucharist.    I so wish I could be there.

Björk Guðmundsdóttir is the most fascinating artist I know of right now in culture.  Hailing from Iceland, she has sold 15 million albums worldwide.  Her music incorporates pop, alternative rock, jazz, ambient, electronic, classical, folk and trip hop.  Björk and her partner, artist Matthew Barney, have a daughter, Ísadóra Bjarkardóttir Barney.

My favorite recent piece is Who Is It:

Mine is "I've Seen it All" from Lars von Trier's singularly unsuccessful musical "Dancer in the Dark." The lyrics are stupendous and the filming extraordinary, as can be seen on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9zFt6M_GLo).
