I Hate All Your Show
Despite how the title reads, this is actually a positive review. First, please notice the quick updates to the right side of this. That serves to quickly update any readers of news or stuff that happens that doesn’t warrent a post at that instant. The Derek Webb concert was great. The Ellery opened for him, and they were really good live. Try their MySpace to hear what they sound like in the studio. Derek brought the folk as usual and took almost all requests. His new studio projet is called Stockholm Syndrome and should come out this week; however, as Derek explained to us… his label has some issues on the content of the album and so he might be forced to have it released through a different medium. I would guess he would release it through NoiseTrade.com which is a website set up where people can download artists’ music for free by referring 5 people or paying what you want for it.
I bought the new Jars of Clay album The Long Fall Back to Earth Extended Edition which includes 2 remixes and “The Story Behind the Songs” video which should really help me understand their vantage point playing the songs. Upon the first listen-through, I really loved the album. It was very chill, a sound I had only really appreciated from bands with the letter U and the number 2 and Coldplay. So I’ll try to go through the album a few more times to give you a substantial review and see how great the lasting appeal is. I also purchased the new Remedy Drive album and the new Anberlin album for $5 from Amazon.com. They have 50 albums that are offered at this price, with some Christian bands represented. I haven’t had an opportunity to get to those albums either, but I usually only listen to music when I drive, and I guess I haven’t driven far enough anywhere to knock these albums out, much less my podcasts.
