Thanks so much for all the entries to the Start an Uproar giveaway! You guys did so much Twittering and Facebooking and commenting to make it a success! I decided to let the girls draw the winners of the “Start an Uproar” giveaway because they’re so much cuter than the Random Number Generator. So, without further ado, the winners are…
You know I have a sister, right? A really talented sister? And even though I sometimes forget my “baby” sister is an actual grown-up, this new project of hers makes it down-right impossible not to realize how much she is capable of.
Because, y’all, this EP of hers? Awesome. Like really awesome. Wickedly awesome. (And I’m not just saying that because I feel sorry for her for being so cute and skinny. But I do. Feel sorry for her. Because it would suck to be that adorable and thin all the time. Right? I thought so.)
In fact, if you were to drive by my house on any given weekday at around, say, 5:00pm you might see/hear the sounds of us rocking out to the songs on her EP. And you might even see some dancing on the homeschool room table. The kids dancing, that is. I gave up dancing on tables years ago.
You get an entry for each of these things. Just leave me a comment below with your contact info to let me know. The contest ends February 28th, 2010 at 11:00 p.m. so hurry up and start entering. I’ll be choosing winners Monday morning and I’ll send you the digital download right away!
Okay, you’ve gotta love this guy. He’s a programmer who quit his day job to write awesome, funny, geeky songs for people with crazy senses of humor. People like my husband. And, thanks to my husband, people like me.
He’s got some wicked funny songs and some great tunes. Very “They Might Be Giants” type stuff and just so freakin’ funny. I found this through my awesome husband who found it through our also awesome friend, Chris.
But, just to give you an idea of what this guy is about I will give you a glimpse into what may very well be some of my favorite lyrics ever written:
From the zombie themed song, “Re: Your Brains”
“All we want to do is eat your brains We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes.”
Sounds gruesome, I know. But, it is actually just completely hilarious! Check out his site because he’s cool and includes full versions of his songs for you to listen to…
My musical taste doesn’t generally include contemporary Christian for one reason or another, but every once in a while I get on this Christian music kick and find myself looking for uplifting and thought-provoking music. There just seems to be something really peaceful about being reminded of how big God is while driving down Ga400 in rush hour. Somehow the lady holding up traffic while she tries to paint her nails and drive seems less of an issue when I’m being reminded how big this world is and what God is really all about.
I was recently given the chance to hear and review Matt Maher’s (rhymes with Mars) Cd “Empty & Beautiful.” Though most of the songs are more traditional than I usually listen to, the Cd is a great soundtrack to introspection. I think it’s the perfect music to have during a morning Bible study/quiet time or just as you get ready to start your day. If you like contemporary Christian music, then this is definitely a great CD to pick up and add to your iPod playlist. “Your Grace is Enough” is by far my favorite track and I think maybe I should just have that one loop in the mornings to remind me that whatever faces me during the day, God is faithful and present even (and especially) when it really doesn’t feel like it. Maybe listening to that would give me some Christian love and compassion for the lady painting her nails on the highway. That truly would be a miracle…
