I heard this song a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been humming it ever since! It’s a beautiful picture of a loving God that has promised there is a day coming when crap will be gone. Those who belong to Jesus can look forward to an eternity without weeping, hurt, pain, suffering, darkness, sickness. [...]
St Paul’s Castle Hill are running a music conference on September 4th. Here’s some info: SHINE is an annual music conference designed to equip and encourage Christian singers and musicians. Each year we have a guest speaker and professional workshop leaders to help build us up in Christ and to develop the gifts that God [...]
Jonnday are a hot young indie pop rock band from the Central Coast. I recently had a killer time hanging out with them in Tamworth. They opened the event with an energetic set and their EP, V for Victory, captures that same energy in a really tight recording. They remind me of No Doubt, fortunately [...]
I often write reviews for Christian rap albums. This album is a little different to that. It’s Christian. But yo no rap! Deb Fung is an Australian-born Chinese singer/songwriter, with an acoustic/pop/ballad type of musical feel. Her latest album is called Selah. What the heck does ‘Selah’ mean? I’m not sure, but it occurs frequently [...]
A few of the young punks from MBM Youth are part of a killer new band THE WINDOW. They’ve recently released the first song from their upcoming EP, Fist Fight, for free. These young indie rockers liken themselves to The Temper Trap, muse and Deas Vail. My opinion? They’ve got the goods. Seriously. Fist Fight [...]

Check out this song from Regina Spektor. Interesting reflections on God and suffering. Do you think she’s right?
City Alight is the new album from St Paul’s Castle Hill. It has a fresh mix of great rock and pop songs for congregational singing or passionate solos while driving in heavy traffic. I recently spent time with some of the band; they seem to be creating a great culture of grass roots song writing [...]
It’s not Friday. It’s been 5 days since I last posted. But let’s pretend I wrote this on Friday (I’ll back-date the post). Mars Hill Church in Seattle have been generously providing their church music for free download for many years. One of their bands, Red Letter, have recently released a full studio-quality album Red [...]
Garage Hymnal are one of the foremost praise and worship bands in Australia. The 8-piece pop rock outfit play regularly in churches, youth groups and special events. They are currently leading the music over the 3 weekends of KYCK 2010. Give away #1 – They have made their track “I AM” available for FREE DOWNLOAD [...]
Check out Jake Armerding’s album Her. You can download the whole album for free at Noisetrade.com. Jake Armerding’s genre is listed as Folk Rock/Americana, but as you listen you’ll hear an eclectic range of genres. The violin and some of the duets give some of the tracks a country twang. While there are jazz, roots [...]
The world would be a better place if more people were into poetry. Appreciate this: MC Shamrock approves of this shizzle.

OK Go took YouTube by storm in 2006 with that treadmill film clip receiving over 50million views. They’ve just realeased a new vid that might get even more! It’s brilliant. Check it: The original film clip they made of this song is pretty good too.
Bandcamp is a killer website that enables bands to get their music online. I’ve just set up a site for a friend, Steph Lentz. Bandcamp was really easy to use and the only cost is a small cut to Paypal for any cash transactions. Steph’s demo EP is called The First One. The 5 tracks [...]
You won’t find a more inspiring film clip than this one. Viva la 1999!! Just found a 10 year anniversary of the film clip here.
Lacking blog inspiration. Don’t worry. It will be back. While you wait enjoy this vid: (I’ll be finishing my Vanuatu series very soon… stay tuned for that)
The following is a moving rap from Lecrae in response to the recent earth quake in Haiti. Its theme is similar to the theme of Habakkuk. In chapter 1, Habakkuk is crying out to God for answers to the injustice he sees around him. In chapter 2, God says to wait and see that he [...]
Here’s the latest press release from my homies over at Reach Records: Check out the first single “We Can be More” (Ft. JR), from Sho Baraka’s highly anticipated sophomore album Lions & Liars! Get it now on i Tunes Everyone wants love. Everyone needs love. Everyone at some point has expressed or experienced love. However, [...]
1992 was a big year for Billy Ray Cyrus. Miley Cyrus, his (now more famous) daughter, was born. But more importantly, he released one of the greatest songs of the 1990s: Achy Breaky Heart. I was shocked today to talk to some younger folk who hadn’t heard of Billy Ray, and only vaguely knew of [...]
