At this season of the year, we celebrate the grandeur of God’s creation in the beauty of the flowers and the return of the robins. We clasp our loved ones in rituals of food and drink, laughter and embrace. Some of us will also sit in services of silence, music, and sacred readings. We will contemplate the mystery of the holy and the sanctity of all life. In the Christian calendar, yesterday was Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. During this week Christians are asked to reflect on the meaning of Jesus’ death on the cross, an event that took place nearly two millennia ago at a place which still remains the epicenter of religious and political violence today. By lunar coincidence, this week also marks, on Tuesday, the festival of Pesah, or Passover, the most celebrated Jewish holiday of the year. Passover commemorates God’s deliverance of the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt. Jesus had gone to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover with his disciples when he was caught in the web of events that led to his death. While most Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah, the New Testament weaves the central events of this week into one overarching story of redemptive history. As St. Paul put it, “For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed” (1 Corinthians 5:7). To those who would reduce the meaning of this week to a mere fable connoting existential truth, Christians say: “What you call myth that is history!” and, conversely, “What you call history that is a myth!” The myth of human self-sufficiency, the illusion that the ebb and flow of nature’s passions are all we need to build a human life upon, the fantastic hoax that lasting moral order in the world can be derived from the will to power or political ingenuity alone It is the fact that something happened back then and there, in space and in time, something so shattering that the grinding wheels of fate were stopped by it and death is now no longer allowed to have the final word.

Eminem’s Recovery moves back up from #3 to #2. By Gil Kaufman Sara Bareilles’ Kaleidoscope Heart Photo: Epic Three months into its epic chart run, Eminem ‘s Recovery continues to provide stiff competition to chart newcomers. In one of the most modest #1 debut showings of the year, “Love Song” singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles will top the Billboard 200 next week with Kaleidoscope Heart, which moved 90,000 copies to snatch the pole position, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan. That easily bested the #45 debut of her first album, 2007’s Little Voice, and it was just enough to keep Slim Shady at bay. The resurgent rapper moved up a notch to #2 as Recovery sold another 81,000 copies to push it over the 2.5 million mark. If sales continue at this pace, Em could soon surpass the year’s top-selling album to date, Lady Antebellum ‘s Need You Now, which has racked up 2.6 million in sales over the past eight months. Also debuting in the top 10 next week are the latest from Slipknot side group Stone Sour with Audio Secrecy (#6, 46,000); indie band Interpol , whose self-titled fourth album moved 38,000 copies (#7); and Florida rockers Anberlin , who hit #9 with Dark Is the Way, Light Is a Place (31,000). The rest of the top 10: Now 35 (#3, 63,000); Katy Perry , Teenage Dream (#4, 59,000); Disturbed , Asylum (#5, 57,000, down 68 percent from last week’s #1 debut); Justin Bieber , My World 2.0 (#8, 35,000); and the Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam soundtrack (#10, 31,000). Fantasia ‘s comeback, Back to Me, continued its slide down the charts. It shed six more spots in week three to land at #11 on sales of 29,000, during a slow week when most of the top 20 saw double-digit sales drop-offs. Further down the line, rock icon Jerry Lee Lewis hits #30 with Mean Old Man (11,000), Minneapolis rap crew Atmosphere land at #38 with the EP compilation To All My Friends, Blood Makes the Blade Holy (9,000), and Swedish dance machine Robyn comes in at #41 with Body Talk Pt. 2 (8,000). It was virtually the same story on the iTunes albums chart, as Bareilles took the top spot, followed by Eminem, Disturbed, Perry, Mumford & Sons’ Sigh No More, Atmosphere, Interpol, Stone Sour, Anberlin and “Camp Rock.” The iTunes singles chart was also mostly unchanged, with Bruno Mars taking the top spot with “Just the Way You Are,” followed by Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” Nelly’s “Just a Dream,” Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite,” Em’s “Lose Yourself,” Enrique Iglesias’ “I Like It” and Usher’s “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love.” iTunes doesn’t provide sales figures, but you can be sure Flo Rida was glad to see that his new single, “Club Can’t Handle Me,” came in at #8, followed by Ke$ha’s “Take It Off” and B.o.B’s “Magic.” Bareilles will probably have a short time in the sun, as next week brings the chart debut of Linkin Park ‘s A Thousand Suns , Trey Songz ‘s Passion, Pain & Pleasure, Killers singer Brandon Flowers ‘ debut solo album, Flamingo, and Weezer ‘s indie debut, Hurley , as well as new albums from Led Zeppelin legend Robert Plant and insurgent country star Jamey Johnson .

‘I really wanted this video to kind of be an evolution for Taylor,’ director Roman White explains. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Taylor Swift in her music video for “Fifteen” Photo: Big Machine The dreamy landscape of her “Fifteen” video had Taylor Swift recalling her high school days, when she thought she was in love with that guy she was dating and she didn’t know what would become of her life. And when she worked on the Best Female Video-nominated clip last year with “You Belong With Me” director Roman White, he wanted to capture the essence of the song without getting too literal. “Well, I think I really wanted this video to kind of be an evolution for Taylor,” White said. “I mean, obviously it’s a high school song, but the last thing I wanted to do was shoot it in a high school. So I wanted to try something different, and I actually said to her, ‘I don’t think we should shoot in a high school.’ And I don’t think she wanted to either.” So how do you shoot a video about high school without actually staging it in a high school? “I kind of came up with this idea like, let’s take the literal meaning of this song and watch it evolve in front of us … almost as a memory in your head,” he said. “And create this world, so you walk in on this desolate desert and you start to sing about all these great memories you have … of everything you love [blooming] around you, and so we literally grew this garden around her.” But White decided to keep it a bit strange as well. “But also we added these surreal elements that came from the memory,” he said. “It’s kind of this cross between this surreal garden and this memory [and] she’s at the heart of this memory.” About the only thing in the video that wasn’t created on a computer was Swift herself. “The rain was all digitally created. All the trees, all the flowers, everything was created by mouse, everything was created by computers,” he explained. “The trees, the leaves, the rain, everything, the clouds. We had prop pieces of the desks and stuff … so even things we had actual props of we re-created in 3-D [on the computer].” The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 12, at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for the winners in general categories, including Best New Artist, from now through September 12.
