Susan Boyle keeps rocking the suburbs on Britain’s Got Talent. I’ll give every reader of this blog a warm fuzzy if she DOESN’T win the final! Singing ‘Memories’ in this vid.
Lauryn Hill – Mystery of Iniquity
Brilliant poetry, rap, social commentary from Lauryn Hill off her MTV Unplugged album.
Shamrock get his roll on
This is MC Shamrock (Mark Earngey) busting some rhymes with his former hip-hop crew 206collab. Mark is a good fella – he’s into old skool (liturgy and prayer books) and he’s into nu skool (hip-hop and synchronised swimming). He’s got some skillz.
Shammers has agreed to give me some hip-hop lessons – so look out!
Singing Praise to Jesus
This Sunday, I’m leading the music at church. It’s the first time I’ve done it for years! I’m looking forward to it, but I’m a bit rusty on the guitar (and voice too)… But it’s not about me – it’s such a good thing to encourage others as together we sing praise to Jesus.
I’m going with 4 songs. 2 upfront and 2 at the end.
- Blessed be your name
- Nothing but the blood
- How deep the Father’s love
- How great is our God
Jaydiohead – Minty Fresh Beats
Minty Fresh Beats has done a 10 song mash up of Jay-Z and Radiohead, Jaydiohead. I like Jay-Z and Radiohead – so this stuff is pretty cool. Warning: some cuss words.
You can listen at jaydiohead.com – you can also download… not sure on legality?
All I want for Christmas is you
O Holy Night is my favourite Christmas Carol – it’s about Jesus. The following Christmas song has nothing to do with Jesus, but is catchy, “All I want for Christmas is you”.
Which one do you like better – the classic one by Mariah Carey or the emo one by My Chemical Romance? Watch then vote below:
NiteEV Live
On 28 July 08 a couple of hundred people packed out the Avoca Beach Cinema for an uplifting night of singing praise to Jesus. The Nite EV crew have done an incredible job at pulling together their first live album: NiteEV Live.
The recording quality of the instruments is exceptional, and even though some of the vocals are wobbly at times, it only adds to the raw energy of the album. Have a listen. Click to keep reading and for pictures from the night:
