Each day we struggle with being a fallen creator who God has redeemed. If one is honest they will look in the mirror and see there is really nothing "special" about them that God would stoop low and offer salvation to any of us. Yet, through Jesus we have just that! Audioslave is not a "Christian" group, yet within some of their lyrics there is this sense of struggle to live true...

So last week saw the release of Them Crooked Vultures' debut album. TCV is Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, Josh Homme of many things including Queens of the Stone Age, and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. This qualifies TCV as a "supergroup," i.e. musicians from other bands decide to merge for a [...]

Every now and then I’ll set the terribly crappy Comcast HD DVR to record MHD Palladia during the overnight hours so I can get a fix on some good hi-def music videos. Sure some of them won’t be hi-def but hey … who’s counting. Come to think of it, CMT HD has been broadcast now [...]

Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures (Columbia 2009, Them Crooked Vultures) Them Crooked Vultures' self titled debut is a paradox; it's manifestation of my worst fears for the project and yet it easily surpasses expectation.

The Indy Racing League looked smart in sassy white pants and cut a stylish businessman's profile in a charcoal suit and hipster glasses. It was uncharacteristically bawdy, a little prance-y on the catwalk, but what the heck, it was fully subsidized for the first time in its 13 years. Time to work it.

925. The Sweet Escape - Gwen Stefani feat. Akon (Interscope 2006, Akon) " Wahooo , Yeah-hooo " it seems that that one bellow from Akon combined with a super sugary verse or two from Gwen saved her abortion of a second album from complete and utter failure by the smallest of margins. Allowing Miss Stefani to retained her status as a pop superstar. Damn that hook, it's so bloody catchy but...
