Top Ten Albums of 2010
Below are my favorite albums of this year. It was really tough to decide between a lot of them, but I think I’ve finally got it right. Most of the album titles have a link that you can click on to see my review that I wrote when that particular album was released. I hope you enjoy! (Seriously… this took me a while to put together)

Project 86- 15. Live.
This year at Purple Door, I had the privilege of seeing Project 86 once again. Amid the chaos and exhaustion of festival going, this band made me remember why I was there. Why I walked around all day with only six hours of sleep the night before. Why I forgot to eat lunch until it was dinnertime. It may have been the foot-long I ate prior to them coming on stage, but during Project...

New FM Static Song "My Brain Says Stop, But My... →
I honestly had no idea the band was going to be posting this today—it’s a total coincidence that I posted something about FM Static earlier today. On their Facebook BandPage, they’re streaming the title track from their new album, My Brain Says Stop, But My Heart Says Go! Parts of it are good… others not so much. If you’re into rap-infused rock music, you’ll...

Josh and Zac Leave Paramore →
I know Paramore might not be everybody’s cup of tea, but the two of them posted this yesterday explaining why they’ve gone and left the band, and I thought some of you might find it interesting. They included some Scripture verses to back up their reasoning and explained some of the band’s history as well. I’m guessing most of you are probably going skip over this, but...

Proceeds go to World Vision and Samaritans Purse charities. Above is the link to Amazon MP3, but if you’re more of an iTunes person, look it up yourself!
EDIT: I just bought it. It’s recorded live, just so you know.

Books Are Cool →
Tumblr messed up some of my posts yesterday and somehow a post from one of my other blogs ended up here. Incidentally, it sort of fits, so I’ll keep it up. If you’re wondering which one I’m talking about, it’s the one about Nevada by Joshua S. Porter (otherwise known as Josh Dies, lead singer of Showbread). It was originally intended for my blog “BOOKS ARE...

Nevada by Joshua S. Porter
When strange animals long thought to be extinct surface in the Mojave Desert, the world assumes a common fascination. One shocking discovery leads to another as the animals prove to be intelligent, charismatic creatures with sinister motives. A husband and wife recently parted by adultery, an enterprising sociopath and a thirty-year-old mentally handicapped man all...

This Sampler Is Tastier Than A Holiday Fruitcake
It’s true. Finally a sampler that compares. It’s from Tooth & Nail Records, (as I’m sure you’ve deduced from the above image) and it’s pretty cool. Just like the Queens Club EP released earlier this week, all you have to do is “like” the label on Facebook and click on the “offer” tab to download your free sampler. The tracklisting is...

Haste The Day Farewell Tour
If you haven’t yet heard, Haste The Day is giving it one last tour before they call it quits. Sadly, they are not coming to my state… but that doesn’t mean they won’t come to yours. Below are most likely the final tour dates you will ever see from Haste The Day. RIP HTD.
01/28 – St. Paul, MN @ Station 4 01/29 – Des Moines, IA @ Vaudeville Mews 01/30 – Wichita, KS @ Oz...

Update 12/14
Hey everyone! I wrote this post about an hour ago, but something happened and I lost the whole thing. I’m pretty disappointed, seeing how it was kind of a clever post. Now I can’t remember any of that, so I’m not even going to try. Sorry.
But anyway, this update includes some free music, so listen up!
Queens Club released their Friendly EP today for free. All you have to...

Jessy Ribordy: Sleepless Night →
jessyribordy:
So this is kind of silly I suppose, but it was keeping me awake last night so in order to avoid another sleepless night, I wanted to post this today.
Just like many of you, I really value my name. With the internet it seems that, although we are free to speak our minds, it is difficult to keep…

Anchor & Braille Vinyl Pre-Order →
As some of you may already know, Stephen Christian of Anberlin has a side-project which released an album last year called Felt. Oddly enough, I personally thought it was one of the better albums of last year… but that’s just me.
If you order now, the vinyl gets shipped December 14th, and I’m pretty sure there are limited copies. If you want to go a step further, you can get a...

Update 12/8
Hello! Here’s another quick update with some very cool stuff thrown in…
This far into the Christmas season, I was beginning to wonder if August Burns Red was going to put out a new Christmas song. They have for the past two years now, and it appears this year is no exception. You can head over to their Myspace now to hear the full track. It’s their very own rendition of...

WatchRocky Loves Emily- “Clueless”
The only reason I’m posting this is because they’re a Tooth & Nail band. I haven’t heard their American Dream EP yet, but it’s looking like I wouldn’t want to anyway. It’s obvious what gender their music is being targeted to, and they look and sound like every other band in existence today. Tooth & Nail has...

Kickstarter - Falling Up's New Album! →
Falling Up is looking to record another album. Yes, they broke up. And yes, they’re back together. The video on their Kickstarter page explains a lot (just follow the link) and they’re hoping to raise enough fan donations to release an album independently. I’m intrigued.
