Earlier this week, I told you guys about a hip-hop song you might be interested in.
Well, for those of you who told me that nobody likes hip-hop, have no fear: today is rock.
Steph will tell you that probably my favorite musician is John Mayer.
Say what you want about his private life or his 20-million-dollar watch [...]
Growing up, I was really into hip-hop music, but had a really hard time finding music that I liked that wasn’t totally profane.
All the good music was fowl, and all the ‘clean’ music was super cheezy (DC Talk, anyone?)
I wish that the fellas at Reach Records had been making music back then. Lecrae, Tedashii, and [...]
I’m not too sure how many of you out there can relate, but I LOVE Christmas music.
Every year, around this time, I start to get an itch for some Christmas music, and I always go back and forth because I don’t want to be sick of it before Christmas actually rolls around.
Besides the basic warm [...]

Derek Webb is one of the best musicians that you’ve probably never heard of.
He has a niche of followers who love his music and wrestle with his message, but I’ll bet that if you’re over 25 and reading this, then the name is new to you.
If that’s the case, do yourself a favor and go [...]
This showed up in my inbox this week.
Chris Tomlin, Louie Giglio, & Christy Nockels will be doing a Christmas tour this year!
As you can see, they completely neglected our great state of North Carolina when they planned this thing, but I’m still tempted to try and get to Virginia Beach.
Anybody interested?

You’ve seen a couple of posts here about Lecrae.
Today I want to let you know about another very talented rap artist associated with Lecrae and the Reach Records label.
He calls himself ‘Tedashii’ (and he tweets!), and he just released a new album, called “Identity Crisis” (you can buy it here).
My favorite track from the album [...]
You’ve seen Lecrae pop up on this blog a few times now (like here).
He’s been around for a while, but for years, I used to walk right past his albums at the christian bookstore. I can’t really explain why… I just looked at the album covers and assumed the music would be cheesy, like most [...]
I stumbled across this awesome video over at Joanna Muses.
Two very talented guys take a piano and cello and mix an instrumental combo of Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” and Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida“.
If anyone figures out a cool way to track this to an mp3, please let me know!

Yesterday I saw this post over at Zack’s blog (yes, another Zack).
It describes an article based on a section of the book Bono In Conversation, where Bono essentially witnesses to an interviewer.
I love this because it’s such a classic scenario, capturing the stereotypes and assumptions that so often blur our communication about the Gospel. This [...]
If I get to church Sunday and all we do is worship through these songs, I think that’ll be time very well spent…
What’s missing?
Lecrae is definitely my new favorite hip hop artist.
His newest album, Rebel, has been in heavy rotation on my playlist for weeks.
One of my favorite tracks is called “Don’t Waste Your Life” (based on the Piper book).
I just saw an article on the BBC (no link ’cause it’s a bit graphic) titled “Music linked to teen sex habits“.

Looking for some good, new music?
Check out Kristian Stanfill’s new EP, ‘Attention’.
I downloaded it last week and I’m liking it a lot! Very worshipful lyrics with pretty cool, original music to boot.
I have no doubt that we’ll be singing some of these songs in church before long.
You can preview each song and purchase a download [...]
So, still haven’t quite found the time to finish our new years blog post. But a track from ‘Singalong‘, by Phil Wickham just came up, and it literally changed my attitude.
‘Singalong’ is by far my favorite album of 2008, and the best part is that it’s completely free!
If you haven’t made the 5 minutes to [...]
Daniel, Shelly, and friends recorded a sweet version of “Angels We Have Heard On High”, and they’re giving it away for free. Just use this link.
