Grumble.

Christian music sucks. Most of it anyways. It sucks in all the ways that lowest-common-denominator pop music (and I mean “pop” here in the broadest sense) sucks, but it also sucks in that it applies all that suckiness and sends it right on up to God.

You would thing people supposedly in tune with the higher power that created the universe would have a better idea about what true art is, wouldn’t you. Nature, for instance, is true art, even if God only defined the patterns underlying it.

For crying out loud, the Catholic church has had a better grasp on what is and what is not good art for the past 500 or so years. If you people with your guitars and ridiculously simple and flat out wrong lyrics can’t get it together long enough to pump out just one, one interesting song, why should I listen?

    I can think of many interesting songs from artists who would be considered Christian.

    i wholeheartedly can see your point there, skrappy old boy. i have lamented along the same lines myself a time or thrice.

    on a somewhat related note, something i love about your blog is that each one is followed by this “mood, music” self-evaluation. i love it b/c it shows that music is so inextricably central to all you do and feel … i know you know i can relate. there are those who could care less for music, those who like music, and then our kind — those who love music so much that it would be the smallest of exaggerations to say our heartbeats in tune with it.

    which reminds me … you told me of a band you thought i should check out. if you read this and know what i am referring to, email me with it so i do it.

    salutations.
