Many people might think that the esteemed Ripple office is a place of ultimate harmony. A musical sanctuary, an aural utopia, where nary a negative word is ever said. The Pope and I walking amongst the enormous leaning towers of CD's, working our way through the maze of vinyl, always in complete agreement as what constitutes a Ripple Classic. Actually, that's not entirely true. While the Pope and I do see eye-to-eye on many great albums, really what we see eye-to-eye on the most is that music is an entirely personal [...]
I just heard a bit of Church's new EP and have to say that I'm enjoying it. The first track I sampled wasn't really to my liking, but the rest of it sure was - including this short little gem. MP3: Church - Happiness If the entirety of the indie rock spectrum was asked to collaborate [...]
One half of the "town" known as Lock, Ohio. The other half, across the street, is a general store that also looks closed, though more recently; there's a plastic Coke sign of dubious vintage on it. Blind Boys of Alabama - Good Religion
Still within the reach of Columbus, OH but way the hell out in the country Take 6 - If We Ever Needed the Lord Before
all you need is the spire, when the light's right. Like how sometimes you just need a bite of frosting, instead of a whole slice of cake. Gahanna, Ohio Mahalia Jackson - Elijah Rock

Boston's RED HOT August Residency - Free Shows! The Motion Sick will play 4 FREE shows in Boston in August. Your Destination on Wednesday nights this month is Church . Beginning this very week, THE MOTION SICK - one of Boston's best live bands (a title we don't throw around too often and certainly without cause) is playing a series of weekly free shows during a month long residency at [...]
Friday, June 13, 2008 The problem with posting songs in advance (even two of them) is that there is no way to be sure what any given day will hold and, therefore, whatever song(s) I chose in advance will almost always turn out to be wrong for the day. "Bouncing Off Clouds" fits our family's frantic Friday of travel. A day of rushing, waiting to rush, and rushing some more, through airports, on taxis, to resorts. Fast, fast, fast. And all of this fastness culminated in my travel purse [...]
The Story of My Friday, Part 1: The First Part Yesterday was one of those days where nothing seemed to go right. The combination of long hours, missed deadlines, and unresolved vendor issues (all work related), along with car problems and a depressing realisation (both non-work related) made for pretty much a total bummer of a day. I could go into detail, but trust me, it's boring and you don't want to hear about it. I only mention it because this song was definitely the theme for the day... at least the [...]
I give you the song, "Lost," by The Church, because tonight the season finale of, well, Lost hits the airwaves.
So where has my last week been? I don't even know. It's all kind of been a blur, but luckily I came to nashville a few days early to eat some Pancake Pantry go to rock shows and get back to reality. Below is a seriously long post about the last weeks events including hipster polygamists, LARP, tiny airplanes, "my new haircut", malibu, miami, charlotte, and nashville. GO READ! (more...) Tags: Broocks , Church , DJ [...]
Miami was all kinds of epic... 10,000 people or so inside the shed. Hangin with ?uestlove, Mello, Navarro, Skribble, Slynkee, groove armada, deep dish, EPIC. Playing in front of the 10,000 was a whole new experience for me and shwayze, we made it out alive and made some new fans hopefully. It was also broadcast live on myspace so maybe another 250k watching it at home? CRAZIZZY. Going to nashville to get my head right, i'm going to CHURCH first thing when I land. I haven't been to church in like 6 years??? I definitely [...]
What do the names Richard Laws, Brandon Laws and Cristof Hendrickson have in common? A door prize to whoever picked the correct answer: All three names belong to members of the locally anchored, California hailing experimental pop trio Church. When Blackbird promoter Aaron Hall sent out a last-minute gig notice a few weeks ago alerting me to a Church show I clicked on the band's MySpace link in curiosity. Plus I can never know enough local acts in this line of "work." Anyway, I wound up on the band's page for an hour, letting its songs flow. I was enchanted [...]
So after lamenting that it'd had been a while since I'd seen a show, I made up for it by going on something of a live music bender. I ended up catching five shows and fourteen bands over the past eight days. I won't write about all of them, mostly because several of them have released CDs that I'll be writing about over the next week or two, and I don't want to use up all my clever adjectives in one post. But I will mention a couple of things. [...]
The Church - Song In Space The Church - Till The Cows Come Home
It's snowing in Nashville tonite. They've actually issued a severe winter weather advisory for us. Usually that means we get a slight dusting and it's gone by 10 a.m. the next morning. But today the weathermen were all like "No, we really mean it this time. Two to four inches. We're serious. Why is everyone laughing?" Meteorologists in Tennessee are kind of like Ben on Lost ... they lie to your face all the time, and yet you still believe them next time they make a promise. And Nashville is full [...]
When I do a post on here, I usually spend almost as much time trying to find an appropriate picture as I do writing the post itself. You kind of have to when your blog has absolutely zero design element to it (it's on my list of things to do, eventually). Today the picture and the song are a perfect match for each other. And I guess that's fitting, since they were done by the same person. The painting is Joseph and Infant Jesus in Bondi by [...]
original article: http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WO RLD/europe/11/15/doomsday.cult /index.html The cult, which calls itself the "true Russian Orthodox Church," believes the end of the world will come in May 2008. Prosecutors announced Thursday they are opening criminal proceedings against the cult's leader, Father Pyotr Kuznetsov. Kuznetsov, 43, is "under the supervision of investigators," Olig Troshin, a Penza prosecutor, told Itar-Tass. A law enforcement source in Penza told the Russian news agency Interfax that Kuznetsov "is being examined by psychiatrists." Four children are among 29 cult members holed up [...]

I've been listening to a lot of these later era records from The Church for some reason. They're pretty cool for the most part. So far, this one from 2006 is my favorite. Check these couple of songs out and...
