Even good lil' Christian musicians are doin' it!

I have gone on a Music Blog binge this weekend.

Things I have discovered:

  • Tori is working on a new album which she plans on being NOTHING like The Beekeeper. (Oh, praise be).

  • The Raconteurs. How the FUCK did I not know that Jack White and Brendan Benson were putting out an album together? I was able to find at least 3 tracks from the newly leaked album to download. Me likey.

  • Some of my favorite pseudo-Christian musicians (pseudo in that they make it known they're Christian and occasionally write songs about their views, but generally just make good music), Sufjan Stevens, Rosie Thomas and Denison Witmer, are collaborating for an album. Not only that, but apparently Sufjan and Rosie are collaborating on more than an album if you know what I mean, because they're having a baby. Even good little Christian musicians are gettin' it on, who knew!
    (EDIT: My friend [livejournal.com profile] joeleo has informed me that this is all but a prank from Ms. Thomas, oh those silly musicians.)

    The music I was referring to, decidedly NOT hard rock-esque. If anything, it's folk music.

    By being nothing like The Beekeeper, do you think that means she's going to put some thought, effort and heart into it?

    One can only hope.

    After reading that article it made it sound like put out The Beekeeper so she wouldn't scare the kid, heh.

    eh. their video is all over the tv these days. I'm not a big Brendan Benson fan - saw his band play with Heatmiser on their last show ever 10 years ago... eh.

    All over the TV? What sort of TV do you get there?!

    Oh, I forgot, you're in the Northwest, where people still have soul.

    I met Denison Whitmore and got his autograph. He was opening for another band in Brooklyn- now I forget who. Anyway, he was cool, and my boyfriend wanted to use one of his songs in his movie (which is a doc.). I don't think that Whitmore's people got back to him, although he got permission to use a pretty popular orchestral song that was on West Wing. But I still like some of Denison's songs.
