I always looking for real world examples to back scripture.

Revelation 21 – “Behold, I make all things new”

Now I know in the history of Christendom this will be seen as a pretty communion wafer thin example, but nonetheless I like it.

Do you remember back in the 80′s? The band INXS? Well remember the song, “Never Tear Us Apart”? You know the one with the over the top orchestra and that “cheesy is good” vibe that permeated that decade…

Here’s your reminder.

The band Record Club (put together by Beck) has redone the song. I love how you can find beauty in making things new. The Lord continues to make things new in us. And I like anything that remotely reminds me of the newness that He’s working in me (2 Cor 5:17).  So what is God creating new in you?

What are your plans this weekend? I’m hangin’ out, grillin’ out, and chillin’ out.

Here’s a good mix to get you on your way… It rips in and then chills out… just like this weekend. Enjoy your long three days – get outside and make the most of ‘em.

Spring is here and so are my allergies. It usually doesn’t bother me, but this year is special for some reason. I can’t complain though, I do love spring. You can’t beat the flowers in bloom and nature at it’s best. Spring also means longer, warmer days – so enjoy these chill, warm [alt-rock] tunes.

It’s Wednesday and I’m feeling like I need to chill out. So here I give you the Chillax music mix. Some stuff you may know, some you may not… either way it should bring some chillax to your day.

The song was cheesy in the 80′s, but everything was cheesy in the 80′s. That worked back then.

Now? It’s just a bad rehash that’s more self-serving that anything. A touching tribute? Pleezzzze. It’s lame. It’s cheesy. I felt dirty after watching it. And seriously,  you’ve got a room filled with 60 or so mildly talented singers/musicians. Can’t anyone write a new song?

If you really want to help make a difference, forget Miley Cyrus and the bunch. Just go over to World Vision, who’s doing some actual work to make a difference.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve heard enough Christmas music to choke a reindeer. Need a break? Yes, you do.

Here’s a mix full of big sweeping sonic sounds. Oasis, 30 Seconds to Mars, OneRepublic and more…

[And bonus points if the SciFi geek in you knows the meaning behind the mix title]

Hopefully your week has been treating you all well. Mine has been giving me the “read headed stepchild” treatment.

Here’s your mix of the week – all filled with songs that are relatively new that sound like they’re from an older era. Any others to add to the mix?

Enjoy!
