The band has posted a new teaser video from their recording studio footage, announcing their new album will be in stores in May. Exciting. Check it out.

Well, if you’re looking for some pretty sweet late-70s acoustic music from your favorite "New Kind of Christian," you can download Brian McLaren’s "Learning How to Love" for free here at Heavenly Grooves.
I’ve kind of been on this weird kick of listening to music from before I was born on the acoustic vein (Nick [...]

The last month or so I’ve been trying out this cool little music tool/website called Last.fm. Basically, it’s a music listening tracking device that sits in your taskbar (sorry, I only speak Windows all you Mac people) and keeps track of what albums you listen to.

Being a sucker for large web marketing campaigns and catchy movie trailers, I stumbled upon a little Irish movie called "Once" this past week. What an amazing revelation it has been. Maybe you remember what it was like the first time you watched "Garden State" or saw "Rent". The music took you somewhere you didn’t [...]

I saw MAE perform live at the Viking Union at Western last spring as [...]

MAE is playing the Viking Union at WWU tonight. I’ll be attending on behalf of the INN, as we are helping co-sponsor the event, which is in turn helping sponsor all-ages music promoters in Bellingham. INN staff thought it would be a good way for us to help promote activities for students in town, who [...]

Earlier this month, Denison Witmer, one of my favorite singer-songwriter’s, turned 30 years old. As a birthday present to his fans, he’s created a website where you can download 33 unique recordings of many of his best songs, [...]
