At the risk of repeating myself for the 20th time, Phoenix is one of my new favorite bands and their record Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is my record of the year for 2009. They didn’t need to do anything else to raise their cool index for me but they just did. You can download the multi-track of their song “Fences” for free and make your own mix of the song. They released 10 tracks for the song. Brilliant promotion.

As I posted earlier, a few of us from our church were able to attend the Continuous Worship conference at Mars Hill Church in Seattle. The highlight of the conference was no doubt Mark Driscoll’s teaching on idolatry. It is life changing stuff and should be required listening for all christians but especially for those of us leading worship in music. I won’t attempt to summarize in this post, rather I’ll just you can download it here or listen to it below. Enjoy.
