I know, I know Bono is now promoting AIDS relief by selling candy-apple red iPods, a portion of which will be given to help fight AIDS in Africa. (A bit of advice, if you really care about fighting AIDS, forgo the iPod all-together and donate everything to AIDS relief. What I’m more interested in discussing now though is the what U2 and Bono are doing to promote Christianity. It’s been awhile since I’ve posted about mainstream artists being overtly or covertly Christian and those were quite active posts. I just read a great paper that’s available on The Thoughtful Christian website entitled “The Music and MessageRead More →

My old roommate is doing quite well with his studios in Franklin, TN. What’s even more interesting than his succes is that he’s expanded to doing voice-over work for two games recently developed by Big Idea, Inc., the company responsible for all the VeggieTales success. The two new games are VeggieTales: LarryBoy and the Bad Apple for the Sony Playstation 2, and VeggieTales: Dance, Dance, Dance for the PC. One thing I can tell you from personal experience with Fred, he’s definitely in touch with the needs of artists during recording sessions and makes it a priority to do everything he can to ensure they’reRead More →

Got you didn’t I? I’m not referring to Natalie Merchant actually attending church, I’m not sure if she does or not, but she was in church this morning at our church. At least her song “Carnival” was sung. The message today was wrapping up our series on “The Sunday Ticket”, which has been a multi-week series with a football theme. Today’s message was about “Join the Team: Helping Others in Need” and was focused on compassion. Before the message, our worship pastor intro’d a song and talked about how he’d grown blind to some of the needs around him everyday because they’d just become soRead More →

I was just contacted by the owner of Indie Punch. This is a site devoted to helping market and publicize independent Christian artists and market them actively. After reading through the site and seeing some of the artists they’re backing and reading their articles, I think this might be a good site for you to check-out if you’re interested in indie artists. If you’re an independent musician yourself, I really encourage you to check them out. Not sure how much they’ll be able to help get your music out to the masses, but I’d say it’s at least worth checking out for yourself as well.Read More →

I’m not sure why I’ve been thinking about this lately. It’s definitely not news or anything, just an interesting event that took place when I was single and living in Tennessee. My roommate at the time, Fred Paragano, is a digital sound engineer and was working on the audio for the music video of Carman’s song, Mission 3:16. He was trying to come up with the different sounds that took place in the video that weren’t provided to him. You know stuff like footsteps in the hallway, car chase sounds and other stuff. It ends up that I began helping him come up those sounds.Read More →
