Es gibt sie, die Musiker & Bands, die Christen sind – auch in der Schweiz. Eine CCM Szene wie in den USA? Zum Glück nicht….

Als vor gut 30 Jahren die ersten Konzerte mit internationalen Künstlern aus der CCM Szene wie Larry Norman, Andrae Crouch, Barry McGuire und Phil Keaggy in der...

Something About You from Boston just came up on my MediaMonkey, and suddenly I had an idea for a new unrelated-except-by-title block of songs!

Something About You
Epilogue (Nothing 'Bout Me) by Sting
All About Who You Know by Petra
I Can't Stop Thinking About You by The Kry
What I Like About You by The Romantics
About Sex (Part II) by Jacob's Trouble
What About The Love by Amy Grant
It's About Love by John Schlitt
It's About Love by Wynonna (from a VeggieTales CD)
What I Know About Love by King's X
Talk About Suffering by Phil Keaggy
Now You've Proven Me Right About Girls by Wonderboy
It's All About to Change by Tree63
Talk About the Lord by ApologetiX
Talk About Jesus by Tait

(A story about love lost, and falling into the arms of Jesus! hehe I love it!)

Angela and i have started digitising our cassette collection. It's time for an 80s and early 90s revival! Featured albums:
Steve Grace - Children of the Western World
Phil Keaggy's purple patch, from The Wind and the Wheat to Crimson And Blue (although i must say i'd be hard pressed to nominate any of his albums that i don't like...)
Larry Norman - Home at Last
PFR - Pray For Rain
Bruce Rowland - The Man from Snowy River - simply beautiful modern classical music; in my opinion one of the greatest movie soundtracks ever.
Southern Sons - Southern Sons - last.fm, please fix this album tag!
Greg X. Volz - The River Is Rising
Whitecross - In the Kingdom, Triumphant Return

Some great memories there, and more to come! :-)

Today I noticed that MediaMonkey had randomly picked two songs in a row with the word "Nothing" in the title, so I thought I'd listen to a lot of music about nothing:


Without Him We Can Do Nothing
Doin' Nothin'
All Or Nothing
Nothing Without You
You Don't Owe Me Nothing
Nothing To Lose
Nothing Left To Lose
Nothing's Free
Nothing But The Blood (Ashley Cleveland)
Nothing Is Beyond You
Nothing But Love
Never For Nothing
Nothing Really Changes
Nothing To Hold Me
Without Love You Are Nothing
Nothing But The Blood (Phil Keaggy)

1. Joe Satriani
2. Tommy Emmanuel
3. Slash - Guns N' Roses
4. John Petrucci - dreamtheatre
5. Phil Keaggy
6. Eric Clapton - Cream
7. Tom Morello - Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave
8. Lincoln Brewster
9. Steve Lukather - Toto
10. Richie Sambora - Bon Jovi

So, I discovered Last.fm today, or at least I signed up for it today. I've heard of it before, but when I learned that I could scrobble directly from my favorite media player, MediaMonkey, and my "now playing" would automatically be out there on the Internet, I knew I had to try it. We'll see if I love it or if I get bored with it after a week.

My favorite bands are Petra (a long-time favorite), Jesus Jones (also a long-time fave but not quite as long), and my new favorite, ApologetiX. Funny... yesterday when I put into the Last.fm radio thingy that my favorite band was ApologetiX, it told me it was going to play some music from a similar artist... and it played Petra! Funny!

Some other faves: Collective Soul, TobyMac, Pillar, Newsboys. Lately I've been loving the Krystal Meyers and BarlowGirl CDs I just bought; I need to pick up some more of that girl pop/punk stuff like Superchic.

I also really dig on some of the older stuff like Kansas and Boston, and also bands that are not named after geographical locations. …
