How a record is pressed (Video)

Kyle — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:11:26 +0000

Really cool to watch the process. I could throw way too much money at vinyl, have to resist. Also interesting to hear the up tic in how many records are pressed nowadays, definitely a big resurgence in vinyl. How many of you are collecting vinyl right now? Any prized albums to share with us?

Auto-tune news: Bed intruder/Antoine Dodson (Video & Ringtone download)

Kyle — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 17:49:48 +0000

I love auto-tune news, it just never gets old. The original news story is hilarious (no there’s nothing funny about rape, glad the woman is safe and unharmed of course), but the victim’s brother, Antoine Dodson…that guy kills me. Painful laughing. Here’s the slick auto-tune version, with a killer remix at the end.

Also I created a iPhone ringtone from this video, download it and enjoy. Here’s a mp3 version of the ringtone for you non-iPhone peeps.

Worship leaders, don’t chase your mountaintop experience

Kyle — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:35:00 +0000

I can’t tell you how much the below Driscoll clip resonated with me. I’ve seen up close the destruction that in sues from this idolatrous seeking of some great past experience, some great moment in the church where God moved in a powerful way. The church and it’s leaders become fixated on how to get it back and completely reject what God is doing presently. I’ve seen it close, been part of it, and it’s devastating to a church’s health.

Sometimes the church experiences a tremendous hurt, maybe a leader being removed or caught out in sin, and instead of faithfully walking through God’s restoration in the body, there’s a detachment and this constant day dreaming of what used to be. I’ve see that up close too, and it’s devastating. Worship leaders, make sure you aren’t chasing experiences, for the benefit of yourself and your body…don’t do it.

Powerful new worship song, “I think I’m gonna throw up”

Kyle — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:04:43 +0000

Laugh, cry, throw up…do whatever you think is appropriate in response…in Jesus name of course

Alberta Cross: “Ghost of City Life” (Live at Electraplay)

Kyle — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:00:33 +0000

One of my favorite new(ish) rock bands is Alberta Cross. They have an incredible record out called Broken Side of Time, make sure you pick that up, it’s fantastic. They recently did an interview and live session at Electraplay and here’s the video from one of my favorite not so rockish tunes called Ghost of City Life.

Swagger Wagon – My life anthem (Video)

It’s scary how accurately this portrays my family. I indeed drive a Sienna, ain’t no shame in my game.

Jesus isn’t the only one to walk on water (Video)

But let’s see these punks command the weather while walking on water….ah ha! Jesus FTW!

MGMT’s awful performance of “Brian Eno” on SNL (video)

Kyle — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 21:31:19 +0000

I don’t think I’ve seen a worse live performance from a band I actually like than what MGMT did on SNL this past week. It seems like they are on one long acid trip, the problem is, us listeners aren’t on acid, we’re on planet earth. This is just sad to watch…MGMT what happened to you?

Incredible arrangement of Jesus Paid It All @ Mars Hill (Video)

Kyle — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 19:00:40 +0000

This video is part of the 5 song Good Friday set that Mars Hill is giving away for free. Love these guys! This arrangement of Jesus Paid It All is absolutely incredible.

Taiwanese boy sings Whitney Houston (Video)

Kyle — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 18:18:02 +0000

You have to overlook the multiple levels of wrongness to appreciate this video. Taiwan’s national sport is kareoke so in many ways this video doesn’t surprise me at all. But remove it from the bizarro world that is the Taiwanese music scene and you are faced with the cold hard facts…that this little boy is singing, and singing well a Whitney Houston cover that’s the gold standard of vocal ability for all our divas. It makes me feel akward, uncomfortable, intreagued and has me reaching for Kevin Costner all at the same time.

Kings of Leon guitar rigs (Video)

Kyle — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:08:59 +0000

The guitar tech for Kings of Leon shows off their guitar and effect rigs. I like how straight forward they are, not really any trickery, all standard tunings, pretty straight up rigs. They just know how to write great rock music. I also dig that their lead guitarist plays my amp, Ampeg Reverbrocket FTW!

5th grade chorus PS22 sings “Lisztomania” and kills it!

Kyle — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:51:59 +0000

PS22 Chorus have sung a lot of other cool tunes, but this is one of my favorite songs(Lisztomania by Phoenix) in the past few years and they killed it!

Video: Justin Timberlake & Matt Morris perform “Hallelujah” (Hope 4 Haiti)

Kyle — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 17:35:11 +0000

Absolutely incredible performance of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. As good if not better than Jeff Buckley’s cover…blasphemy I know.

Beat slicing tutorial from Trifonic (Video)

Kyle — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:50:01 +0000

This is a cool tutorial on some techniques to slice up drum patterns in interesting ways. Great because it’s tool agnostic, meaning you can use the same technique in whatever application you are using, Abelton, Login, Reason, etc… Click through to his vimeo account to see more tutorials.

Sunday Wrap Up: “Preaching Colossians is hard work” (Video)

Kyle — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:31:15 +0000

This past Sunday I was actually preaching instead of leading worship. Our pastor was in Kuwait and I picked up preaching duties, teaching out of Colossians 3:18 , not an easy task. I was really blessed to be able to do that for Life Connection Church, really it was an honor and I pray that God’s will was accomplished. For the rest of the info you can just watch the video wrap up…

The Raconteurs – Broken Boy Soldier (Live on Jools Holland)

Kyle — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:49:37 +0000

One of the great joys of Direct TV is my season pass for Jools Holland. On this occasion they had a pretty packed lineup, John Legend, Amy Winehouse, The Raconteurs and Muse. Hands down, Raconteurs stole the show, their performance of Broken Boy Soldier was incredible. Enjoy.

Video: Matt Chandler speaks before his brain surgery

Kyle — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:00:35 +0000

As I watched this incredibly challenging and encouraging video of Matt Chandler discussing where he’s at with his sudden fight with a brain tumor, I felt such simultaneous heartache and joy seeing this warrior of our faith stand firm in Christ. Matt has had such a huge impact on me from afar, I’ve never met him or even seen him in person, but his impact on my faith cannot be overstated. It’s humbling to hear his words, it’s encouraging to see him live it out and it’s incredibly moving to see the love and wisdom shared through his family.

For those of you who don’t know, Matt Chandler is pastor of The Village Church and fellow member of the Acts 29 Network. According to the latest updates Matt is doing well, is out of the ICU and results should be back from tests on the tumor in the middle of this week.

Video: Live Looping – Liam Finn “Second Chance”

Kyle — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:00:31 +0000

Second Chance is a great song, by a great band Liam Finn (son of Neil Finn), on a great show Later with Jools Holland and a great exhibition of live looping skills. Love when he drops the octaver and lays down the bass line. Killer.

Promo video for the iPhone app I work on

Kyle — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:02:09 +0000

Many of you are aware that I don’t get paid for ministry work, I am what I like to call, full time volunteer. Yesterday I made a promo video for the iPhone app I work on that pays the bills. I did the soundtrack in GarageBand, great for quick little beats.

If you are interested in downloading the app we have a full version and free version on iTunes. Free version has static instead of animated radar, doesn’t let you set any radar options (transparency, speed), doesn’t let you drop pins on the map to get weather in precise locations and only lets you save 2 favorites. Go for the paid!

Video: John Mark McMillan – Skeleton Bones (live in studio)

Kyle — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:54:08 +0000

Killer video of John Mark McMillan performing “Skeleton Bones” live at Bright City Studios. Directed by The Calnin Brothers.

Video: Jesus Culture – Burning Ones

Kyle — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 22:17:41 +0000

Came across this video of a new Jesus Culture song on shawnw.org . This song “Burning Ones” is off the new Jesus Culture album Consumed. It’s a pretty killer song, I dig the vibe, a really cool tag section at the end. Overall I was really impressed, looking forward to checking out the album.

Matt Redman: “Too much romantic imagery” in worship

Kyle — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:13:51 +0000

One thing I love about Matt Redman is his passion for truth, for the gospel and for worship to be Christ centered. In this brief interview clip Matt discusses the over use of romantic imagery in worship songs and how that may negatively impact men in our church. I believe that to be true and to that point I remember attending one popular conference where at the end they played some worship song as people held hands and skipped down the aisle singing “we’re getting married”, an illusion to Jesus being the church’s bridegroom of course. It was one of the most uncomfortable worship moments of my life.

What are your thoughts on what Matt has to say here?

Adam Pasion Interview Part 1 (New music)

Kyle — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 22:45:08 +0000

I recently sat down with Adam Pasion who’s new album “O Hear the Rattling” (iTunes) seriously impressed me. The music to me is best described as dark folk, very rich lyrically, with dark melodies and full folk string instrumentation and groove. I’ve not heard another Christian album like this at all, and by Christian album I just mean Adam is a Christian who wants to see Christ glorified in his music, but these aren’t necessarily corporate worship songs.

I enjoy shedding light on great music that many have not heard and I think this fits the bill. Adam is a great guy, incredibly humble and talented. In part 1 of the interview we talk about where Adam grew up, the vision behind the record and the story behind one of my favorite tracks “Broken Binds Us.” I also give a sneak peak of the tune in the video.

Video: Ryan Delmore “You Are Strong” in studio

Kyle — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 16:51:59 +0000

Ran across this beautiful song of Ryan’s on his blog. One thing that I just love about Ryan is how natural and effortless his songs come across. I never get the sense that his songs were crafted for any particular audience but that he just let out on paper and through music what’s in his heart. Here’s an excerpt from his blog regarding this song:

Recently I spent some time with a friend in Tennessee who discovered that his father in law was diagnosed with lung cancer. The shock and pain that a sentence like that brings is devastating to family and friends alike. It made me think of some recent suffering Ryan went through over the holidays with a bulging disc on his spine. During the many months that Ryan was writhing in pain he had to consider the issue of suffering in relation to our loving God and as a result wrote this song. Many people gathered to pray for Ryan, but he was never healed. Ryan had to go to the hospital on a few occasions for heavy medication. It was really sad to see him spend Christmas drugged on the floor in chronic pain instead of playing with his kids. Through it all Ryan questioned God and through it all he could sense God’s presence and love. I wanted Ryan to record this song so that I could share it with my friend who’s father in law is suffering through chemo and all that cancer brings. Hopefully this song can be a banner of encouragement to those who are weary and burdened with heavy suffering.

Video: Phoenix playing “1901″ live on Letterman

Kyle — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:42:28 +0000

As I’ve said before, Phoenix’s record “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix” is my record of the year so far and “1901” is certainly one of the best songs off that record. These guys kill live, I really, really want to see them.

Barcelona sings to the fish at Kuroshio Sea and it’s beautiful

Kyle — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:18:16 +0000

An absolutely beautiful video was posted on You Tube of Kuroshio Sea, the world’s second largest aquarium, using Barcelona’s “Please Don’t Go” as the music. The still shot of the tank with the shadowed figures in front is just visually awesome, and then the Barcelona song fits it so well. A stirring video for sure. If you don’t have Barcelona’s Absolutes album go pick it up, it’s a killer record.

Top 5 Favorite Michael Jackson songs

Kyle — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:29:08 +0000

In remembrance of Michael Jackson who passed yesterday, I thought I’d do a Top 5 with my favorite MJ songs of all time. I grew up singing and dancing to Michael Jackson, I have a lot of respect for his music ability and a lot of sadness for how he lived his life.

1. Thriller

Where else is there to start. The best music video of all time, an incredible song and it gave me nightmares when I was a kid, but I loved it.

2. Smooth Criminal

Another epic video, will anyone ever be able to do music videos like this guy again? I doubt it. Great song as well, I can always jam to this song.

3. Billie Jean

Man I can remember dancing to this song in my room. This video always tripped me out, I still don’t think I really get it. But talk about epic, sidewalk lighting up, I mean…brilliant. I can’t say enough about his sense of melody, it’s incredible.

4. Dirty Diana

I’ve never been in a concert atmosphere like this and I really wonder if I’ll ever have the opportunity in my life to experience it. And no I’m not going into the Jonas brothers teenage mosh pit.

5. Beat It

This was back in the day when gangs just had break dancing battles to settle turf wars. Simpler times.

Farewell Michael, you inspired me as a kid and I’m not sure this world will ever see or hear anyone quite like you again.

Folks what are your Top 5 MJ tunes?
