The Bored Again Christian

Don’t know how many of the readership is from a Christian background. Regardless, the Bored Again Christian podcast is a fantastic way to discover new music. If you’re an apple fanboy, subscribe via Itunes. I use my RSS feed myself. The only caveat is that new podcasts are rare. Enjoy.

Cool Covers Acapella Edition

I am always searching for cool covers, which is why I read a number of blogs that focus on covers; cover covers, if you will. Today, I found one—remember Rockapella? The band that is famous for their theme song for “where in the world is Carmen San Diego?” Well, they’re back with a new album and is trying to draw attention with a cover of Vampire Weekend’d...
