Okay, so maybe my last post was a little harsh, if you don’t know anything about the guy in the video.  He’s clearly giving his guitar lessons a shot and maybe me saying he sucked like my stats did today wasn’t the nicest.  I can hear you all now. “Why would Brody be making fun of Jack from LOST when all he wants to do is teach us how to play hymns?”.  But here’s the thing.  Click on this link or maybe this link and tell me if he looks familiar.  Here’s a hint, he’s not Jack from LOST.

I’m not saying that he’s really a total idiot, or that he sucks at guitar or anything like that.  What I am saying is that he’s a freaking crazy that screams arrogance and ignorance to me.  So, I apologize if I have offended anyone, but check out those links and come back and tell me I am wrong.

I know I’m supposed to be a responsible parent but this is Awesome.

I said it then and I will say it now. This group was ahead of their time. When everyone was making me feel like an idiot for owning the 1993 Ace Of Base record, I would just tell them that of they came out in 1997 they would have been massive.  Not to say they weren’t pretty massive as they were, but I think a lot of their “massiveness” was because they were being made fun of.  

And speaking of being made fun of, it looks like Ace Of Base is still at it, touring the world only they are missing one blonde. I wonder if she finally got ‘another baby’.  I’d go see them just to see who actually shows up at an Ace Of Base show.   

Most embarrassing CD/Record/Tape you ever owned?  Ready? Go.

Are you ready to talk yet? Or should we wait to see if it’s worth it?

Dear everyone in the Christian Music Industry who has told me they don’t need or want a blog, 

How are you today?  

I know we have had lots of talk, and lots of going back and forth about how you don’t need or want a blog.  You don’t see the value and I can understand where you are coming from if you don’t understand it, but I continue to respectfully declare that you’re wrong.  There have been a few of the “forward thinkers” that have jumped on the blogging train, but most of you have decided to stick to your MySpace and Facebook accounts.

After all it’s silly to think that we should evolve in online marketing and the like.  I mean, who does that?! There aren’t really any other bands doing that right?  What other band would create an entire website on a blog based platform and be doing things like “behavioral targeting” and stuff?  

Well ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you who would do all that fancy stuff. A band who feels like they could use a blog to benefit their career. A little band called Weezer.

On June 3rd, Weezer joined the likes of MercyMe, FEE, Natalie Grant, and Phil Wickham by launching a blog based website focussing on fan interaction, comments, and even a YouTube link.  Wow, look how innovative and revolutionary Weezer has become.  If only we had someone that could have told us this was coming we could have stayed ahead of the curve.

Anyway, thanks for your time everyone in the Christian Music Industry who has told me they don’t need or want a blog.  I will be talking to you soon.

your friend, 
brody.
