The music world fights back!
2 Pro-life music videos.

Once again we come to the time of year that reminds us of all the children who should be here but are not. On this annual solemn occasion I offer you a few rays of sunshine to pierce the darkness of the culture of death.

Music has always had a profound effect on the culture of the world, and the world of today is no exception. The problem of course is that a disturbingly huge portion of today's popular music only adds to the destruction of sexuality and the dignity of human life. Two beautiful exceptions are Nick Cannon's Can I Live and Flipsyde's Happy Birthday. Can I Live is the true story of how Nick Cannon's mother planned to abort him, but changed her mind before going through with it. Happy Birthday is a father singing and apologizing to his aborted son.

Watch them. Share them. They are worth every second.

Anybody like music videos?

Anyone who has spent much time on the internet in the past year has probably heard of the band OK Go. I on the other hand have been oblivious and did not hear about their internet exploits until this week. They have built their popularity by putting homemade music videos on YouTube. The thing that makes this significant though is that they are amazingly creative and in my opinion hilarious. Two of the best are Here it Goes Again and A Million Ways.

Also, if you have listened to music at any point in the past 50 years or so you will probably get a kick out of The Evolution of Dance.

Awesome Christian music. Jimmy Needham.

My biggest complain about Christian music has always been that most Christian artists are not as talented as their secular counterparts. The discovery of Air1 radio has shown me that that is not always the case, however, if you have never been convinced, I want to recommend Jimmy Needham.

I heard a song of his (Lost at Sea) yesterday and thought it was amazing. A lot of the most musically talented Christian groups (Lifehouse, Switchfoot, etc.) are not distinctly Christian in their lyrics. Well Jimmy Needham is blatantly Christian and blatantly freakin’ awesome on the guitar! Check out some of his songs on his myspace music page.

If you like music, this is worth your time.
If you like Christ, this is worth your time.
If you like both, you can’t miss!
