REVIEW : Love and Death – Concert Review (NJ)
I didn’t really know what to expect tonight as I drove down to Barnegat, NJ to see Love and Death for the first time. Being a church show (which I tend to enjoy more than others), I had a few preconceived ideas as to what I could expect at the venue. Well, all my expectations went right out the window as I pulled up to the church. Pulling up I was waved in by volunteers to where a division was made for cars to either park or drop off.… Continued →

Metaphysical Monday: The Monster Who Ate Jesus
You can file this one under the Classic Christian Albums heading for Metaphysical Monday. Released in 1999, this album is second only to MxPx’s Life in General as far as Christian punk albums go (in my opinion). While remaining fairly obscure in the underground, Blaster the Rocket Man created an album of incredible musical and lyrical excellence.
The music of Blaster the Rocket Man was a mix of punk/horror punk and rockabilly. It was eery and fast and fun. Otto Bot’s voice had a giant dynamic range, swinging from a wolf-like growl on “I Like Lycanthropy” (fun fact: I once ordered 250 stickers with “Equal Rights for Werewolves” on them and sold them at the BTA merch table in honor of this song) to an almost Elvis-like croon on other songs.… Continued →

Staff Blog - Brandon Jones: The Forgotten Classics
Today’s blog is mostly about those long forgotten “Classics”, the bands and/or albums that have been largely overlooked by a new generation (and those that follow). I made a post about this on my facebook page and I figured i’d elaborate on the subject here. Here is what was said: Even though some bands have enjoyed recent reunions (and success), there are numerous others that have been virtually forgotten. Our society moves at such a quick pace that some truly inspirational and innovative bands have been left in the dust.… Continued →

Metaphysical Monday: Christian Literature
It seems like all the main brains in Christian theology right now are self-proclaimed Reformed guys. Preachers and authors such as John Piper, R.C. Sproul, John MacArthur, Francis Chan (sort of), Tim Keller, J.I. Packer, Mark Driscoll (also sort of), and David Platt are all either part of the Reformed tradition or are closely related to that family of theology.
Reformed theology can be very controversial, but just to overview the basic emphasis, Reformed theology shoots to unite the modern church with the basic tenants of the Reformation. … Continued →
