The Resurrection Of Christian Music That Doesn’t Suck
Christian Music That Doesn’t Suck# 45: Mad Men
This is one of my riskier calls. I may be to close for this to be objective. These guys were one of my favorite bands…especially their first three albums. Mad at the World was a trio at the start comprised of two brothers (Roger and Randy Rose and a friend … Continue Reading Christian Music That Doesn’t Suck# 45: Mad Men
CMTDS: The Holy Burn Edition, Part 2
The same year as I am a Stranger In This Place, the Violets released the worship album Faith and Devotions of a Satellite Heart. Musically, it is in much the same vein as IAaSITP.

The Choir: Burning Like the Midnight Sun
CMTDS: Chasing the Midnight Speckled Bird Edition

I’ve been pretty tough on artists like Petra and Carman (who is apparently still around). I am tough on … Continue Reading Growing Up, Time May Change Me…
Down The Line
I want to talk about this soon, as I found the interviews very powerful. It may be the weekend before I can sit down and give it the thought it deserves. I know some folks will find it easier to make their decision than others about it. Plus, I want … Continue Reading Down The Line
Christian Music That Doesn’t Suck (Again)
Trying a video blog for this. Not sure how I feel, in my attempt to stay under ten minutes, I feel I short change a lot. But Gene fans? Feel free to add your thoughts, favorite songs and so on. Build on what you think is missing, what should have … Continue Reading Christian Music That Doesn’t Suck (Again)
