The Lovers of Judas
Lady Gaga came out with her new single “Judas” this past week, just a week before Easter Sunday. Christians everywhere have been in uproar concerning the message of this song, and rightly so. However, I would like to nickname this song “The Anthem of the Lost.” Listening to the lyrics, it displays the lost, unrepentant heart so truly and clearly. Before we are saved, we all wash the feet of ...

I would give millions to public school music departments.
Being biased, I would start with my own district… I hate seeing kids’ educations fall flat because of something as worldly as money.
The poor Elementary kids… with their grimey violins with broken bridges and cracked bows… using sponges…

Toodledo
Toodledo is an online to-do list that I highly recommend. You can create a list that states the name of the item, and you can put it into a particular folder, like “School Assignments.” You can set a due date, make it a repeat task if it’s something you want to do every day, and list how much of a priority the task is. Once you create your to-do list, the items with the nearest...

Album Review: Hello Hurricane
I’ve been really excited about Switchfoot’s new album, Hello Hurricane, for a while. Switchfoot is my favorite band, and this album only added to that. This album is a true work of art. Jon Foreman, probably one of the top 5 best songwriters of the 21st century, really showed his talent in this album. As you listen to this album, it takes you through all the joys and pains of life....

#1 on iTunes
The current #1 on iTunes is “Forever” by Drake, featuring Kanye West, Eminem, and Lil Wayne. The reason I haven’t posted this song is because it is simply not a good song at all. I don’t suggest anyone going and listening to it. The only reason I can figure out why this song would be a #1 is the popularity of the artists all involved in one song. I wasn’t even gonna...

Na Band's Facebook Page →
My current favorite song is called “All I Have is Christ,” by Na Band. I wanted to post it on here, but I bought it from iTunes, and so I can’t upload it. But, you can hear the entire song on this page. Go down to Music Player on the left side of the page, and it’s the very last song. I also recommend “My Lord, I Did Not Choose You” to my Calvinist...

– “10 Things I Hate About You”
The Mass Production of Lovesick Hearts
Something hit me the other day about music. After an extremely unfortunate and sad occurrence within a relationship, I was sitting and thinking, my mind racing in a relay of various subjects, when it finally occurred to me that it will be a long time before I’ll be able to put my iPod on shuffle, for fear of coming across certain songs that I’m sure would make me cry. All of the sudden...
