so, i have owned a copy of Daniel Amos's *Doppelganger - Vol 2 of the Alarma Chronicles* foir years, and I never play it, but I am playing it now and it is wacky enough for me to ask if his other stuff is as good. or as wacky. It fits in perfectly with other diy/newwave/weirdo stuff from that time. You wouldn't know he was X-ian unless you knew he was X-ian. You know?

maybe they consider their faith private and feel like it doesn't have that much to do with their jobs!

I used to have their first four records - I wish I could find them now. It would be fun to listen to them again. I remember in junior high, I had their logo drawn on the cover of my notebook or something, and this kid sitting next to me in class told me that he knew the guys in the band and he had hung out and drunk beers with them. I didn't know whether to believe him or not. I knew they lived in the area, but I couldn't picture them drinking.

My main point is: why does anyone care if a band is Christian or not, just because it may not be so obvious in the music? How many times have we discussed this?
― dali madison's nut (donut), Monday, 12 December 2005 18:57 (eighteen years ago) link
I don't care, necessarily....I just don't want to fuckin' hear about it. Keep your damn faith to yourselves, and keep the evangelical agenda out of rock'n'roll.

So what do any of you Christians, former Christians, or Christianity voyeurs out there know about the Resurrection Band, aka the Rez Band, aka Rez? Were they actually any good? I'm reading Andrew Beaujon's *Body Piercing Saved My Life: Inside the Phenomenon of Christian Rock* now, and I'm finding the paralell pop and rock universe it talks about really interesting and eye-opening. Were Rez Band's *Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore* and *Awaiting Your Reply* as rocking as he suggests, or is he exagerrating? A guy in the band also says they used to do AC/DC-style covers of gospel songs like "Oh Happy Day"; that's wacky! (Other acts I've read about in the book so far that I'd like to hear someday, though I have no idea whether I'd like any of them: Larry Noorman, Children of the Day, Keith Green, Degarmo and Key, White Heart, the Seventy Sevens, Daniel Amos, plus Steve Taylor's "I Want to Be a Clone" and old eve-of-destructioneer Barry McGuire's *To the Bride* album. Most of which I assume were not nearly as metal as the Resurrection Band, but who knows? I bet some of them might not suck.)

We used to have Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore on record. I'd like to listen to it again if I had the chance. They were more hard rock than Servant, who also played our church, and they were more metal than Undercover, who had more of a new wave sound.

confessionals:i participated in a choreographed, lip-synched performance of carman's "the champion." it's hilarious still.
i sang a solo on rich mullin's "awesome god." it's awkward because you have to say "power" as if it were one syllable. like, "with wiiiiz-dum powr and love!"
i thought michael w. smith's the big picture and I 2 (Eye) were both great

Since I started this thing, I'll brazenly link to reviews I've been writing for Burnside Writers' Collective.
Here's my Sheep & Goats column for December--it's a sort of binary consumer guide, w/ picks of Disciple, Norma Jean, and Jars of Clay, and pans of the Afters, Lecrae, and (um) Kanye.
Here's the November Sheep & Goats, with love for Israel Houghton (one of my favorites of the year, fwiw), Sufjan, and also the Thermals and Dandy Warhols; disses of Sufjan, Point of Grace, and MWSmith.
Here's a pretty good appreciation of DC Talk's second album and a mockery of their subsequent career.
Here's an appreciation of King's X's third album, which may or may not be the best album ever made by anybody.
Here's a review of the latest Marvin Sapp.
Here's an I-hate-white-Christian-radio screed.
Here's a review of WASP's Christian apocalyptic album, also one of the year's best, even though it really came out last year. (Got slept on, as you'd imagine.)
Here's a review of Gary Lucas and Dean Bowman's gospel covers album.
Here's a Nneka review and a Patty Griffin review.
And it's not CCM or anything, but here's an O.A.R. review that's pretty cool.
Thanks for reading, enjoy.
