‘A Film About Johnny Cash’s Out Among the Stars’, A Short Documentary That Pays Tribute to the Man in Black

There are a lot worse ways to spend 16 minutes than watching this. Father John Mistry’s cover of “Baby Ride Easy,” recorded as a duet by Johnny and June, is beautiful.

“Sweet Child O’ Mine” - New Orleans Style Guns N’ Roses Cover ft. Miche Braden (by ScottBradleeLovesYa)

You must watch this now.

I am amused, amazed, and enraptured.

And damn, but does Braden close it.

Alison Krauss & Union Station, “A Living Prayer”, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

I’m not sure why I was watching The Tonight Show that night a few years ago, but this was how the show ended. It was the first time I had heard of Alison and Union Station, and wow, what an impression they made. What a talented group of musicians. What a voice she has.

This song became an instant favorite because of this performance. I come back to it again and again. There is something soothing about it, and yet when she hits certain notes on certain lyrics, I get chills. I absolutely love it.

More Than A Feeling Scrubs Style (by Michael Teagle)

Because your Monday that is a workday when a bunch of other people are closed or are not able to work needs this in your life.

One of my favorite scenes (and favorite episodes) of the entire series.

Chris Thile - Bach, G Minor Sonata, “Presto” (by megaphono79)

This is not exactly what I saw last night, but goddamn is it close.

I’ve heard the Bach G Minor Sonata on violin tens of times, but I never really heard it until Chris Thile played it on the mandolin.

This should have hundreds of thousands of views, not 96.

This is what Bach wrote.

Actual playing of music starts about a minute in. This needs to be a purchasable, downloadable MP3.

You’ve heard a portion of Tim McMorris’ “Overwhelmed” in recent commercials for Sam Adams beer. Now you can see his official music video for the song.

Children of the ‘80s, you may have to explain this one to the younger generations.

The life that I’ve been living From the day I first drew breath Has been my way of forgetting I’m on the journey to my death You make my soul rise up You make my eyes to see When I place my faith in you And I lose my belief in me

The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee

I don’t believe in beads or crystals Instant karma or mother earth I don’t believe that what I think Makes any difference to what I’m worth I don’t believe in reincarnation I’m not coming back as a flower I don’t bow my head to kings or priests ‘Cos I believe in your higher power

The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee

Oh you’ve given me a plan That I don’t understand 'Cos I’ve wandered over half the world But I’ve remained an ignorant man One thing That I know Is when the final bell tolls Human love won’t be enough Good deeds can’t save my soul

Well I’m not afraid of dying But I am afraid of you Because you hear me when I’m lying And you see the things I do So the hands go round the clock As the light goes from the room And I can’t help thinking to myself I’m going to find out much to soon

The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee

Oh you’ve given me a plan That I just don’t understand 'Cos I’ve wandered over half the world But I’ve remained a ignorant man One thing that I know Is when the final bell tolls Human love won’t be enough Good deeds can’t save my soul

I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe

You make my soul rise up You make my eyes to see When I place my faith in you And I lose my belief in me

The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee

–Charlie and Craig Reid, 1994

Michael Winslow (sound effects guy from the Police Academy movies) blows your mind with Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love”.

How the hell does he do that electric guitar sound?!?!?

On October 4, 2011, I went with some friends to see Frank Turner at The Loft in Dallas. We’d discovered Frank the year before, when he was one of the opening acts for Social Distortion, and he put on a great show. Then we dove into his music and fell in love with it.

So when Frank got his own headlining tour, we got tickets as soon as was possible.

Frank’s best-known song is “Photosynthesis” (iTunes link) and he closed the show with it. This is the edited cut, where I deleted about 5 minutes worth in the middle of the video, of introducing the band and ginning the crowd up.

Please forgive the frequent out-of-focusing; the dim and changing lighting, not to mention the band’s motion on stage, made it difficult for my little Canon point-and-shoot.

Frank Turner - “I Still Believe”

Tonight at the dinner table, Samuel decided it was time to do a little singing.

Andrew Peterson's latest single. Great song.

...so let's all celebrate by: + jamming out to Social Distortion, Pennywise, Son Volt, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana + having a good laugh while watching stupid-funny movies + diving into a good book + passionately teach a group of high schoolers how much God loves them, and how they can love Him + show off our family through Proud Dad & Uncle Alerts + fill up a journal with our innermost thoughts and secrets, even if we never share them with anyone else + do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God Happy birthday, bro. Love ya.

Because: "That's how you do it, son."

(I love the little point with the breadstick at the end. My favorite part.)

Brilliant mash-up.

Except you haven't heard it like this:

I haven't done this in a while, so here are the first ten songs from the iPod's shuffle mode today: "Remedy" - David Crowder Band
"Already" - Rush of Fools
"The Fist Fight/The Flying Wing" - Raiders of the Lost Ark Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
"Once Again" - Matt Redman
"666 Degrees" - Ceili Rain
"There's No Way" - Alabama
"There's a Mother Always Waiting at Home" - Johnny Cash *
"Go" - MercyMe
"Dr. Feelgood" - Motley Crue
"The Wall" - Johnny Cash As usual, all links are to the song on the Amazon MP3 store, except those marked with an asterisk. Those links are to the physical CD, as the song isn't sold in MP3 format.

We've all had that song that gets stuck in our head. That happened to me today. Not sure how it happened, since I didn't hear the song in a commercial or TV show, or anything like that. Just one second, it was there. The song? "Edge of Seventeen," by Stevie Nicks. So when it came time to go pick D up from school, as we departed from the house, I cranked that very song in the truck for S and I to enjoy. While sitting at a stop light, I decided to use the Genius function to create a playlist of like-minded songs, and here's the result: * "Edge of Seventeen" -- Stevie Nicks * "The Chain" -- Fleetwood Mac * "Magic Man" -- Heart * "Wheel in the Sky" -- Journey * "Hungry Like the Wolf" -- Duran Duran * "Heat of the Moment" (Acoustic) -- Asia * "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" -- The Police * "Hold The Line" -- Toto * "Sharp Dressed Man" -- ZZ Top * "Brass in Pocket" -- The Pretenders * "Your Love" -- The Outfield * "These Dreams" -- Heart * "Baby, I Love Your Way" -- Peter Frampton * "Leather and Lace" (with Don Henley) -- Stevie Nicks * "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" -- Dead Or Alive * "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" -- Rod Stewart * "Go Your Own Way" -- Fleetwood Mac * "Renegade" -- Styx * "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" -- Journey * "Crazy On You" -- Heart * "So Caught Up In You" -- 38 Special * "Dream Weaver" -- Gary Wright * "Just What I Needed" -- The Cars * "Here I Go Again" -- Whitesnake * "Won't Get Fooled Again" -- The Who The inclusion of "The Chain" raised my eyebrows. I expected Fleetwood Mac to make an appearance, given Nicks' membership in the band. The rest of the list, mostly staples of the '80s, is also not surprising, except for "Dream Weaver" and "Here I Go Again". Losing the former makes the playlist that much better, and the only reason it's in my library is because it was on a soundtrack (likely Wayne's World) or compilation.

Awesome.
