Everyone’s favorite rabble-rouser, Derek Webb, has just released his latest album, I See Things Upside Down.

Here’s what he has to say about it:

“What are the things that we American Christians value in our culture and how is that different, and often ‘upside down’ from true Kingdom values? I’ve found that often success looks more like failure, riches more like poverty, and have found that real life often feels more like death, as the Christian life is very literally the process by which we are killed.” Derek Webb

See, you thought he meant that he’s seeing what normal people see, and turning it upside down, and maybe that’s partly what it means; but he’s once again on the depravity train, confessing how he sees things upside down from how he’s actually supposed to see them.

Cool.

In other news, Caedmon’s Call’s latest album, Share the Well, isn’t bad at all. Of course, what I used to love about them was their songwriting, but with the departure of Derek from the band and Aaron Tate from the songwriting roster, the focus is much more in the instrumentation now. The songwriting is better than on their disasterous Back Home release, but still nothing to write home about.
