Let's start maximizing profit, kiddies!
I’ve decided to begin a new weekly feature feature to be updated as often as I feel like it, henceforth known as “The TPS Report” (a reference to the meaningless pieces of corporate detritus featured in the movie Office Space) … Continue reading

You're not making this easy, CCM…
I often get tired of hearing people bashing CCM for being shallow and money-grubbing, ineffective in its own self-stated purpose of “reaching the lost.” CCM was a big part of my spiritual formation as a “baby Christian,” and a lot of its influence still comes out in the music I write today, so you can probably understand a little of my defensiveness. Yes, there are problems with it (as with any intersection of faith, art, and business), but it just feels counter-productive to constantly whine about how bad it all is, when it’s seemingly ministering to lots of people.

Stupid corporo-speak, pt.1
If racism is a form of discimination based on one’s racial makeup, and sexism is a form of discrimination based on one’s gender, then what’s “volunteerism”?

Cold enough for ya?
It’s one of those New England cliches, the guy who comes up to you and asks in a thick Boston accent, “Cold enough for ya?” Unfortunately, that guy was unavailable for comment. His lips are frozen shut at the moment.

Notes from the Underground
Oh, boy…another article on how the music industry doesn’t get it. Not exactly an original premise, but, considering the author has made a semi-successful living as a New York City subway busker, it does put an interesting, utilitarian spin on … Continue reading

Out with the old…
Yes, Geof, I finally rid myself of static pages. For those of you who are wondering what changed around here (all two of you), here’s the short explanation. I’d heard a lot about WordPress, and thought I’d give it a … Continue reading
