Weekly Music Thirst: Seryn – This is Where We Are

by on May 13, 2011 in music, Weekly Music Thirst

Seryn is a small “folk-pop” band from Denton, TX that despite being fresh on the scene is making quite the waves, and for good reason. They are about to make a lot more waves in the Christian scene because they just played Catalyst 2011 and from the tweets, they seemed to have killed it. Seryn [...]

Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) sings how the church misses the gospel on homosexuality

by on May 11, 2011 in music, theology, video

I recently heard for the first time Justin Vernon’s (Bon Iver) song “Sides” and it is incredibly moving. It’s a story of a gay guy coming to the church hurt, coming each Sunday and finally confessing his past trauma (beaten up) and sexual sin. The priest turns the guy away saying he can’t help him [...]

Weekly Music Thirst: Wye Oak – Civilian

by on May 6, 2011 in music, review, Weekly Music Thirst

I have a soft spot in my heart for 2 person bands, Wye Oak certainly does the configuration proud. Most every 2 person band I know uses loops in some way for bass, keys and other instrumentation, but Wye Oak’s drummer, Andy Stack, thinks 1 hand is plenty to play the drums and uses the [...]

Video: Schools in…Prince absolutely killing it on guitar

by on March 25, 2011 in live, music, video

Video from Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Dhani Harrison and Prince paying tribute to George Harrison with While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Prince absolutely wrecks the place. I love the look on Petty’s face as Prince shreds right in front of him. Unbelievable.

Music Review: Luke Parker – “Home”

by on March 24, 2011 in music, review, worship

When I opened up the Music Review Submission form here on ORS I was hopeful, maybe not optimistic, but hopeful about the mini flood of music that came through. Boy was I relieved and excited to hear New Zealand singer/songwriter Luke Parker. His album Home is a stripped down acoustic EP with beautifully simple production [...]

Video: Guy from Mortal Kombat plays a mean acoustic

by on March 15, 2011 in music, video

One of the more creative uses of dotted 8th delay I’ve heard. Certainly the best dressed acoustic guitar player I’ve seen. I’m just glad he didn’t copy all the Edge riffs which seems to be the law of the land when using dotted 8th delays.
