Definitely check this guy out - we just got his entire collection sent in at work, and I’ll be listening more in depth over the weekend, but I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve heard so far.

Interview with the Bear

On today’s Rocketboom, we had the opportunity to interview the—until now—anonymous musician behind the popular podcast, Podington Bear.

We’ve been big fans of The Bear for a while now, having used his music in a bunch of Rocketboom episodes. Go watch the video and learn more about the Bear.

Andy: I'm thinking of starting some sort of Life Group, where we explore different extreme fundamentalist groups that claim Christianity (any branch of mormonism, Jehova's Witness, Branch Davidians). We can sit and discuss and learn about them. I'm going to call it "Sects Education"
Me: Oh my gosh, I am so blogging this RIGHT NOW.

“ Like lyrics, the characteristic sounds that make up a musical style also tell a story. Take, for example, punk rock. Even if you could remove all the singing from a punk album, a characteristic sound would still remain. And, in the case of punk, this characteristic sound is the sound of scorn and resentment. Similarly with rap music. Strip away the words from your typical rap album and what’s left over is a pattern of rhythms that comes very close to the sound of crude physical threat (oddly, this often holds true even of rap songs that are supposed to be about love). In both cases, when you put the lyrics back in, the message does not change — it just becomes more literal and obvious. When considering the morality of music, in other words, the total product — performance, lyrics, and style — must be taken into account. „

This is insane….from only a few years ago (2001). God help us…we wonder why Christ followers have next to no voice in modern culture?

“The Rock-afire Explosion” is the story of a small-town car salesman, an inventor, and an animatronic rock band, that quickly becomes an eccentric portrait of childhood memories, broken dreams, and the resilience of the human spirit.

I hope my son is intelligent and ballsy enough to stand up to idiotic teachers, too.

What a horrible teacher.

Wedding Fatigue

bunkercomplex:

The wedding I went to on Sunday (3 down, 2 more to go) is a strong contender for being the worst wedding ever. Summation of how awful - Peter Cetera’s “Glory of Love” was played during the reception, as if it was a legitimate song. I could list a few more things but I’m not willing to relive the event. *shudder*

Yikes…sounds like a wedding reception my dad would LOVE though! haha.

I went to a really fun and unique wedding up in Santa Barbara about a month ago, the reception was held at the Carriage & Art Museum of Santa Barbara. Sounds & looks odd from here, but they totally pulled it off….also helped they played MGMT rather than Peter Cetera!
