Slog - Comments on Crazy, But That's How It Goes http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/crazy_but_thats_how_it_goes Auschglitz!, the blog devoted to "the magic of the American amateur show choir," continues to make me very happy to be alive. This morning's treasure: Poca, West Virginia's Visual Volume, going off the rails on a crazy train. The first five seconds of this clip almost kill me. Then it gets even better. Thank you thank you thank you, Auschglitz!...

Its school mascot is the Poca Dots, it sits in the shadow of a 3000 megawatt coal-fired power plant, and its ground has been used to store toxic byproducts of Agent Orange manufacturing.

It's freaking AWESOME! Consider: this is WEST VIRGINIA we're talking about here -- imagine what other outlets for sequined excitement they have there. This is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

Especially those horribly flat trumpet brapps. Godlike!

It's almost as loud as their singing...

What an interesting way to start the morning...

I, for one, welcome our new show choir overlords!

Please continue to post more. I know where to find more, but it is a pleasant surprise to see it pop up on the Slog. Also, watching this after reading the Britney article puts into perspective (again), of how fascinatingly fucked up the US of A really is.

But that's been true of most things in my life.
