It was brought to my attention today, once again, to my deep shame, that I have not updated my Books & Music lists since 2005. No. Really. The main excuse on my really long list of excuses is that something got screwed up in the code of the way I was posting stuff I was reading and listening to, and I never took the time to fix it (If someone wants to show me how to use last.fm I might be up for that)
So, for Wes (who already knows what I'm listening to) and the other two people that care, here goes...
In other news, I am working on my list of favorite albums of 2008, though I have not listened to that much new music this year. When I was working on my Th.M, I read something like 15 hours a day-- which had me perfectly situated to listen to every new album that dropped. Since I've entered the world of fatherhood and church planting, I haven't had that kind of time. Nevertheless, look for my (albeit smaller) list of favorite albums of 2008, sometime next week. There has been some great music this year!
I thought I was pretty well informed on all of the cool stuff but Calexico is the only band that I ever even heard of.
Ah well, let me quote Bob Kauflin on musical preferences. It's point 5 of 10 well-made points:
Listening to music the masses have never heard of doesn’t make us better.
