I had the opportunity to submit a mix to Designers.mx recently. I designed the artwork specifically for this playlist and “hand-selected” the songs myself. I carefully put them in the perfect order. My imagination runs to dark and adventurous places sometimes, I hope yours does the same while listening to this. Check it out here.
Cannot wait for this film!
Lately I’ve really found music to be something I cherish and appreciate. It keeps me going while I am working, driving or dancing (naturally) and some of it really hits home for me. I’ve decided to make a list of the ten albums that have “changed my life” (so far). Basically, these albums have meaning to me, they have even influenced who I am as a person. They are nostalgic. I can listen to these albums over and over, even if they are 5 years old and not that popular. There might not be many super “classic” albums or artists that the majority if you would put on here (ie. Radiohead, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, or whoever) … but I’m not you. Some of these might seem cliche’ (Mumford), but just know that they really mean a lot to me in some way or another. Let me know what you think of the list.
1. The Everglow by Mae
2. Mmhmm by Relient K
3. Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
4. Absence by Paper Route
5. Brother Sister by MewithoutYou
6. Commit This To Memory by Motion City Soundtrack
7. Futures by Jimmy Eat World
8. Lost In The Sound of Separation by Underøath
9. Gagagagaga by Spoon
10. Sigh No More by Mumford & Sons
To be entirely honest, I don’t have a religious bone in my body. I don’t feel comfortable around lots of religious people (not all, but lots). And I think a great deal of the things Christians do are at once soul-witheringly boring, sanctimonious, crazy, and stupid. I’m only a Christian because I think Jesus Christ is Lord. And so, for me, to be a Christian means one thing and one thing only: to be thankful that Jesus Christ is Lord, and to try to confess this thankfulness with one’s whole life.
This confession can, of course, involve the sort of living that [some think] it means to be a Christian. In fact, I’m sure it does, and I’m sympathetic to lots of what [they] say. But [they] fall prey to the temptation that always threatens everyone who tries to think about what it means to be a Christian. It’s a two-step process, and it goes like this:
First, identify some abstract good (justice, community, love, happiness, the emancipation of women, advancement of the nation, criticism of the nation, eradication of poverty, creation of wealth, traditional values, gay rights, emotional health, conservative politics, liberal politics, the existence of a metaphysically supreme being, the creation of a certain sub-culture, whatever); second, affirm Christianity to the extent that it is helpful in securing this good.
