Good Music

I really enjoy good music.
this should not come as a surprise to anyone who really knows me.

The problem that I've come across over the past couple months (and years, i suppose) is a huge lack of good music coming out of the industry.
Don't get me wrong, the industry isn't all bad, but most of the "popular" music that I hear on the radio is just complete garbage.

However, there is hope.
Here is a small list of FANTASTIC bands/artists and albums that I've come across recently that have revived my faith in western civilization as we know it:

Jay Clifford- Driving Blind
Brooke Fraser- Albertine
Jump, Little Children- Between The Dim and The Dark
Radiohead- anything they've ever done. magical.
Gatlin Elms- find this kid on myspace. so much potential.

so do yourself a favor: put away the Beyonce record and listen to some good music.

dude.
i'm so proud of you!
i've known of Jump (little children) & brooke fraser for a lonnnng time. Jump has been a regular spin since 2005 or 2004. so dang good!

and yes, brooke fraser's solo stuff is life-changing. it's crazy how the hillsong band is that creative. they did all the instrumentation on her album, yet it's obviously wayyyy more mainstream than anything hillsong will ever do.

love you, bro.
and i appreciate you a ton.

blessings.
