It ain’t gonna be all-Chaucer all-the-time around here (though you can expect at least a few more books to be Chaucer’d ‘ere I’m done), but since so many of you are here for a bit of a Middle English fix, I give you the video for Delerium’s “Aria,” sung by ::shakes his head:: The Mediaeval Baebes:

Oh, sorry… where was I?
