Since the whole election-whatever stole the new music tuesday thunder from me yesterday… I’m posting a day behind.
This morning I found a music video (via Matthew Paul Turners web site) and I’m hooked.

Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
Toward home, a land that I’ve never seen
I am changing: less and less asleep
Made of different stuff than when [...]

Why are there still CDs on iTunes using DRM!?!? C’MON LABELS!!!!
Just recently I was forced to abandon my usual “New Music Tuesday” shopping spree on iTunes and jump over to AmazonMP3 to pick up the new Marc Broussard CD and the new Jon McLaughlin CD. (I love the new song… “Beating My Heart”. Check out [...]

The new Family Force 5 release is available August 19th… ‘Dance Or Die’. The press release sounds exactly like what I expected and I can’t wait! (check out the 2 track EP right now on iTunes)

According to the press release, “The album oozes with over-the-top illustrations, charging out of the gate with funky rhythms, percolating [...]

OK. So I really bought this CD last week, but I haven’t stopped listening to it since. I caught them on an episode of “Front Row Live” one night and TIVO’d for a second viewing. I loved the sound and the next day, I bought the CD. I love these guys, even though I can’t get the [...]

Just bought the Josh Wilson CD on iTunes. So far I love it. He has the same kind of pop-rock sound as Dave Barnes, and the same great songwriting, plus great musicianship too. Josh plays every instrument on the songs “3 Minute Song” and “Savior Please” except for drums. He fiddles with acoustic, baritone and electric [...]

This morning as I began to switch from streaming radio channel to streaming radio channel in iTunes, I remembered it was “New Music Tuesday”! I have been pretty good lately at controlling my iTunes purchases, but the new Dave Barnes CD, Me+You+The World was a surprise to me, so I went ahead and did the [...]

Larry Norman, THE PIONEER of Christian rock music (a tag he hated) passed away this morning in his home in Salem, Oregon.
Norman became a Christian at the age of five and was raised in a black Pentecostal church. In 1956 he heard Elvis Presley’s music and would later say that he felt Elvis had stolen [...]

Jack Johnson: Sleep Through The Static.
Pros: Recorded with 100% solar energy… cool!
Cons: First listen through, and nothing stood out. I love Jack Johnson, but this all just kinda flows into one long song to me. I’ll give it another listen and see what happens. Maybe “Sleep Through…” wasn’t a good choice for CD title.

I’ve been pretty good in iTunes lately on “New Music Tuesdays”… refraining from clicking the all to easy to use “BUY ALBUM” button. Last night I noticed that Amazon has begun to sell DRM free MP3 files on AmazonMP3 . My first instinct was to dismiss it as another one of those “iTunes killers” [...]
