50 First Dates
Come into my office...
brooo-ha-ha-ha!
Interesting mix in the 6-disc cd changer right now:
By The Tree - Hold You High
Isaiah Owens - You Without Sin, Cast The First Stone
Bad Acid Trip - Lynch The Weirdo
Sevensystem - Alteredstate
Amen - Death Before MusicK
The Williams Brothers - SoulLink Live
Wow. By The Tree is not that bad.
Track #3 has kind of a musical creed/statement of faith thing going lyrically. Kinda cool in a Rich Mullins sorta way...
Isaiah Owens is just a cool old man. Gotta love that deep, low voice and heartfelt passionate blues praise. Raw. Powerful. Soulful.
B.A.T. Wow. Appropriate name. Crazy bad like Type O Negative's Bloody Kissesalbum intro. Heavy and guitar driven. Like the BH-Surfers going to Norway... This'll trip out the co-workers in the office cranked up loud.
Sevensystem. Metal. Yes. Sustaining power chords with the right tone is just... a heavenly powerful thing. Love it. Vocals kinda grunge-like. Strange. Other times more hardcore shouts. Maybe if Creed had been signed to Victory Records and produced by Adam of Killswitch?
Amen. I've been told it means, "I understand and I agree." I'm not so sure now, cuz ... well, I can't really say anything just yet. Deep. Intense. Wow.
Williams Bros. Wow. They start off with "Love Train." Wow. I used to love that O'Jays tune. Still do. Cool. Rockin. Pouring out with soul and spirit. Fantastic.
Wow. What a listen.
Watched 50 First Dates with my wife tonight. Funny movie. I got the boxset of Playmakers, which I've been eating up. Can't get enough football these days -- offseason stinks...
:?)
Am looking forward to honoring Charlotta's grandad, who turned 80 today. What a great example he's been for Christ. A servant. Consistent, and easy-going and a real conversationalist. Very good gifts for the body of Christ. He joined my grandad in praying over my wife and I in our marriage ceremony. A great moment. I'm convinced that God loves families and He loves marriage. That easily flows into "God loves people." I should do the same. Whenever I get a glimpse of the value of people, I feel that much more alive.
"There's something about You Jesus...
there's something about You Jesus...
there's something about You Jesus...
...makes me feel mighty good!"
That SoulLink Live album really rocks!
