So, this morning, I was shelving in the AV section and I came across the Mountain Goats' Life of the World to Come album. Which at first made me go "bwee!" because that is always my reaction when shelving things I really love. And then I looked at it a little closer and realized that the person doing the cataloging had had no idea what s/he was processing and possibly classified it based solely on the fact that all the tracks have Bible verses for titles, because the label said that it was to be shelved with the sacred music.
I gave it to people to be re-cataloged, of course, but not until I had giggled for a good minute at the idea of someone taking that home as sacred music and getting to the track about vandalizing (and possibly burning down) a chapel, the one about going off your meds, the one that I'm pretty sure is about a drug addict killing somebody, or the one that John Darnielle says is about negative body image but I always kinda thought was about Dr Frankenstein. It would have to be a very broad definition of "sacred music".
Isaiah 45:23, though, that might work.
