What I am hearing (part 4)
Bon Iver- BloodBank
Well, this weeks song is one of my favorites this year. I have had this album for quite awhile and still cannot get away from it.
I love the imagery and feel of the song. Simple, yet compelling.
Bon Iver's music reminds me so much of the bands from the early 70s. It is so raw and emotional. You can feel that he is attached to each word and note.
If only more worship leaders would use the same model. Sing a song like it's your last and make sure each word touches your heart. As I've said, if the song i am singing doesn't move me, why should i expect it to move God.
That's enough for now.
p.s. -in your listening please forgive the naughty word.

Mumford & Sons - White Blank Page
Had to share this song. It just blew my mind a little bit.
To those that say music has to be "heavy" to be intense... watch this! There isn't even a drummer, yet the energy of the music is "hard" without being heavy. Metal? Yes my friend, Metal.

What I am hearing (part 3)
This week in music.
I love these guys. I have always loved these guys. They write great riffs and have spot on harmonies. The way they married thick riff rock with soul and emotion is nothing short of amazing.
In my opinion one of the most overlooked rock bands of our time.
Oh yeah, and they are still together and touring with original members after 25 years.
Long live King's X.

What I Am Hearing (part 2)
Gearing up for a new week. What lies ahead in the realm of music?
I just purchased an album call Neon Bible by the band Arcade Fire. I am really enjoying their sound right now. Somewhat manic, but manic can be good....right?
Here's a taste. Enjoy

What I'm hearing this week.
Sometimes I feel somewhat pretentious writing these things. I think "why in the world do I think anyone else would care what I have to say about this, let alone what music I am listening to?! "
But I think I am going to do this anyway ,and for who know how long, I'm going to try to share each week what I have been listening heavily to.
So here it goes......
My wife and I were talking last night about how it seems that for a short time you seem to forget about DMB. New music hits you and you are preoccupied for a while. Then for whatever reason you hear a DMB song and are blown away all over again. It is possibly one of the sweetest feelings I have ever felt, regarding music.
