Currently listening to: “Suddenly” by BT
I actually only started listening to BT because Celldweller did a remix of this track for the Suddenly EP. Once I checked out some of his catalog, I discovered a lot of really great electronic stuff – and honestly, that’s about as specific as I can get, because this guy [...]

Currently listening to: “Circles” by Thrice
Thrice recently did a session at Daytrotter, and the results are stripped-down, sparse, largely acoustic, and predominantly wonderful. If you’ve ever wondered what a masterful rock band would sound like when given a room with a bunch of instruments in various states of being, this is a great example. You [...]

Without much ado, here are my best beloved musical albums of the year 2009. In descending order, building up to an apex of musical happiness.

10. Emery – “In Shallow Seas We Sail”
Although this record doesn’t really jump forward on Emery’s generally uncomplicated lyrical themes, it is a wonderful example of a band returning to their [...]

Currently listening to: “The Best It’s Gonna Get” by Celldweller
Chapter two of Wish Upon A Blackstar just dropped. It’s uhh… Celldweller at its best, basically.
This is just a quick post to share this: [video].
I have a lot of respect for Matt Chandler, and have benefited greatly from his preaching as well as other resources [...]

Currently listening to: “In Exile” by Thrice
They actually just released the video for this song recently on their myspace and, although it’s not as epic as (say) the videos for “Image of the Invisible” or “Digital Sea”… it has a great black-and-white, earthy, early-2000’s Thrice feel to it. Think of a cross between the [...]

Currently listening to: “All The World Is Mad” by ThriceThrice’s newest, “Beggars”, will go down as their best to date. I’m in love.
John Piper is a pretty regular guy. A pretty regular guy who is passionate about Jesus Christ. He writes books, drops heart-piercing sermons, likes to hyphenate words together, and has managed to gather [...]

Currently listening to: “Holy” by Brenton BrownBrenton is a favourite in these parts. We really appreciate his anything-but-showy approach to putting together worship songs. Also, he has a knack for penning meaningful lyrics (with very little “I” and “Me” in them).
My wife’s grandfather passed away last Thursday – November 5th, 2009. I only had the [...]

Currently listening to: “Get Me Right” by Dashboard ConfessionalChris Carrabba is a bit of a tough one to pin down. It’s difficult to know, in his songs, whose voice he speaks from – his own, or those of various characters he creates or whose stories he tells. The answer to that question would seriously uncomplicate [...]

Currently listening to: “This Is The End” – Relient KRelient K made a great new album. You should listen to it if the chance comes upon you. It is called “Forget And Not Slow Down”. I am refusing to be using contractions. No reason.
My friend Ian Hales just made a great post over on [...]

Currently listening to: “Freedom is Here” by Hillsong UnitedI’m a very, very late comer to the worship music scene. I find that as I draw nearer to God, I can’t help but revel in worship. That, and there’s something inherently intriguing to me about songs written for the express purpose of being sung in a [...]
