[QUOTE=NinerAdvocate;415431]I only know a couple of his songs, and the difference is that his songs dont suck.
I can count the number of Christian songs I’ve heard that don’t suck on one hand. Jars of Clay comes to mind.
there are two types of artists in pop music: the not pretty people who make very good music of great substance, and the whores playing the lowest common denominator game. Pretty much all christian artists fall into neither category.[/QUOTE]
I’m not a big fan of christian music myself because I feel they use a lot of synthesizers but at the same time some songs and bands are very good and even get regular airplay on mainstream stations. Music is all personal taste anyway.

Oh, you don't like synth, okay in that case:

I know they used to play shows with MxPx. What do they sound like? Also, has anyone heard the new Rancid cd?

[QUOTE=49timesthelovin;415427]It’s funny, a lot of people won’t listen to Christian music, but they don’t mind Matisyahu whose music is extremely religious. Kind of a double standard. But hey, he is incredible.[/QUOTE]
Not a fan. I respect that he is a very good beat boxer, but actually I think it’s pretty crappy reggae.
Polvo, Merge’s old flagship, is to play this year’s Merge Fest, which is sold out. Might they unexpectedly steal the festival like they did like 20 years ago?

Has anyone else bothered to click on either of my links to this band? I imagine that most people dont bother. Just wondering if i made any converts, since I seemed to have had some very modest success with Phoenix.
They’re not the greatest band ever… but there’s something promising there. Can’t put my finger on it.
Plus there seems to be a stylistic swing in the that direction in the indie genre, especially the raw vocals. Lotsa bands like Deer Tick getting some pub.
