"Prayer of the Refugee" by Rise Against

Remember this band I posted on way back when? Well, I feel nobody really tried them out, so I'm posting this video and a link to where you can hear the original. This video is an acoustic version of "Prayer of the Refugee," done for AOL's Cover-Up. It's one of RA's strongest, and definitely has a powerful message.

FFH

Ok, so since Mr. Fussy Pants below( cough cough, Ricky) is getting impatient, heres another post. Well I like the band FFH. They're a really old, funny Christian band that i used to listen to. Ok so not funny, but one song is! Their, well i dont really know how to describe it, I guess they're like soft-upbeat music, like pre-Christian wannabe rock. And they also were a loooong time ago, so the style was "in" when they were together, but they're still good, if you like that style.
Ummm they don't have a pure volume, um, cuz they're old...

ok seriously now...

...why does this blog even exist if i'm the only one making posts? sure, there's the occasional post from matt, but i can't do this alone! jeez!

UnderOath concert...

yeah so these are just some of the cooler pics i saw. thank you mariah and kamilla for providing them! this is basically for matt, so you can see what it was sorta like.

Life in Your Way

Life in Your Way is one of the catchiest hardcore bands signed to Solid State. They've been at it for a few years now, and with three consistent albums, they're pretty much pros on the hardcore scene, so I recommend listening!

Recommended songs: "Salty Grave," "Making Waves," and "Reach the End."

"...I sink to my salty grave..."

lyrics in music.

so i've been thinking lately...is it ok to listen to music that has cussing or just "inappropriate" lyrical content in it? some people would say:

01. "yes, because a glass can only spill what it contains!"

i, on the other hand think:

02. "if a glass can only spill what it contains, then we need to make sure our spillage(if ever), needs to be at a minimum(or none at all)." i mean, if you 'spill', it means you blow up or yell at someone because they made you mad, but don't you think that we should not blow up on people at all? and why do parents insist that their kids shouldn't listen to music with "explicit" content in it when they let us(well, some of us), watch some R-rated, or even PG-13 rated movies? what's the difference? don't they both contain material that is debatable? (rhetorical questions)

my point is this: movies and music don't have to influence us. i know that some(repeat: SOME) music i listen to is not entirely clean, but i know that the artist who wrote that music has a wrong point of view based on the Bible. i'm gonna leave you at that...please think hard about it and leave a comment with your opinions...

just out of boredom...

these are the songs/artists/albums i've been listening to lately.

in your honor/foo fighters - i highly recommend it. especially to you sir. matt nichols.

the almost - new album, southern weather, out on april 3rd(aka melina bennett's bday)

the devil and God are raging inside me - haven't gotten it yet, but i've listened to most the songs on the album...very good.

project 86 "songs to burn your bridges by" - ok, not the best p86 album, but hey.

so...yeah, what have you people been listening to lately?

new haste the day stuff...

pressure the hinges, haste the day's new album is out on march 20th. you can listen to the title track and "stitches" on their purevolume and myspace now. it's definitely a more mature sound, and i like it a lot. as should you. so listen and enjoy!
