submerging

so i decided to do some browsing of older posts on blogs and i came across a link on Ad's blog (listed at the side as "blogONE"), directing me to http://www.purevolume.com/thousandfootkrutch and so i decided to have a listen to the new tracks ("Art of Breaking" and "Absolute"). very tight. although the latter sounded somewhat more pop/punk-ish (kinda like a certain overplayed band out there, nods at Dave Douglas of the oh so loved Relient K). with that last comment, i think i'll be getting a lot of flaming on the comments for this post. but seriously, they may be good, but not when they're ALL you ever listen, you guys! yes, back to TFK (krutch not crotch, FYI). very good. i think i'll buy "The Art Of Breaking" if i get the chance.

while at purevolume, i checked out another one of Ad's recommendations, Demon Hunter. very awesome, even though i wasn't much of a metal fan. DH changed that. most people think of angry, unintelligible screaming when it comes to metal, and Demon Hunter doesn't disappoint on that front. but at the same time, the singing (actual singing), is also very well done too. rawr. Ad sure knows his music.

on another note, i came across a TFK board and was pretty shocked and/or appalled by the conduct of some of the people on that forum. i mean, yeah, i know not everyone there's Christian BUT it just so happened to be a self-proclaimed follower of Christ who said (during a debate/argument about beliefs and freedom of speech) something along the lines of "yeah, i swear. i have the right to. and i'm a hypocrite, and i'm proud. i don't give a ****" (*censored for your reading enjoyment). i just thought, "seriously, what is wrong with you. talk about representing..." and then i thought, "oh ****, i'm a hypocrite too." and so now i'm at somewhat of a loss... anyone want to help me figure this one out? sometimes it feels as if i'm stuck. on one hand, i need desperately to change. on the other, i'm afraid that if i go crawling back to my God and Saviour, that i'll screw up again, thereby cheapening His most precious grace. oh damnit.

EDIT: check this guy out, Stuart Briscar. so awesome. listen to/download "Stuck Up". do it.
