Students Enrolled (2007):
18 200 000

World Population:

How to Find New Music

fillmore-2
Here are my sources: (in order of reliability)

  • Last.FM / Pandora Internet Radio – I suggest using Last.FM because it’s more social. You can see what others listen to. Here is my Last.FM
  • Spinner CD Listening Party or Aol – These are AWESOME. They are a good way to listen to full CD’s before they are released.
    A good way to expand your ears.
  • NPR MusicAll Songs ConsideredSong of the Day, Concerts, Interviews are an awesome source of new music information. Plus they are really cool and funny.
  • Metacritic – Takes a bit of searching, but a great place to see what is Acclaimed.
  • Best of …. Lists – It’s always good to hear what others liked last year. Chances are, you will like it too!
  • Billboard - I go here when I want to find pop music. It beats listening to top 40 radio.

Then, when you find music. Buy It For Cheap On Amazon (Current Bestsellers)!

For anyone that has been snowed out of church. (Video)

This is the video our church (Redemption Hill) put out for our small groups to get together and watch last Sunday. So, instead of meeting as a big group, we met in small groups all over the city and watched and talked about this sermon.

I love my church.

YouTube Comments – Something must be done!

Cracked.Com Charts

Cracked.Com Charts

There are so many completely idiotic comments on YouTube that it makes all comments and discussion pointless. Is there nothing that can be done? Someone must stop all of 12 year old boys!

Here is a funny article on Cracked.com that sums it up quite well:

Screw You Rain and Cold

11242009-run
I decided the best way to say “shut it” to the rain and cold was to run with winter gloves on. :-D

Ended up not needing them. The run was nice. 2 or 3 miles.

Bright Eyes – Landlocked Blues

A nice song:

A good woman will pick you apart
a box full of suggestions for your possible heart
But you may be offended, and you may be afraid
but don’t walk away, don’t walk away

Lyrics
