I love The Hold Steady.  I love this album.  It is one of the best albums of the decade (if not all time) and you should go buy it.  Why, you ask?  Well, because today it is only $1.99 on AmazonMP3!!!!  Craig Finn is one of the best songwriters out there, so you should give them a chance.  By the way, for those of you who go to Calvin, you should go see them at the Festival of Faith and Music.

I love it when advertisements misspell important words.

For example:

Kalamazo?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never heard of “Kalamazo.”

According to Time Magazine, the new Calvinism is one of the 10 ideas changing the world.

After a relatively uneventful (in my opinion) season of concerts, Calvin College SAO have finally stepped it up.  I was hoping that they would blow my mind with the lineup for the Festival of Faith and Music and although they haven’t announced all of the concerts yet, having The Hold Steady play makes the whole year feel better.  Not only are they one of the best bands in America right now, their album Stay Positive is a serious contender for my favorite album of the year.

Kathleen Edwards – Asking For Flowers

December 5, 2008 samhaist Leave a comment

Kathleen Edwards is an artist that I’ve heard about for a long time, but never actually took the time to check out.  A few days ago, I bought her most recent album, Asking For Flowers.  It’s one of the most simply poignant albums I’ve heard in a long, long time.  Check it out.  I thought I had figured out my Top 10 albums of 2008, but now I’m going to have to do some rethinking…

Words cannot describe this video.

If you drink a shot of espresso and then immediately drink a glass of orange juice, it kind of tastes like grapefruit juice.

Just to let you know.
