sing it out

1. Old but still cool news: OK Go's new Rube Goldberg video for "This Too Shall Pass." I still love the marching band one, though.

2. A new and entertaining episode of Switchfoot TV.

3. Pomplamoose covers Lady Gaga's "Telephone." I hadn't even heard the original song but P-Moose's cover is amazing. (the term "P-Moose" is the property of Michael Gossett)

4. Speaking of Pomplamoose, here is the page on their site where you can download all of their cover songs ... FOR FREE!

5. Sufjan Stevens talks about one of his favorite musicians.

6. An interview with Catholic musician, Audrey Assad.

In the midst of so much deception and fear, I can only be equipped to lead God’s people in sung prayer and worship if I abide in the heart of the Father, take up the cross of Christ, and receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit. These three attitudes of receptivity to God are integral to my ministry; receptivity is a great gift of being feminine; and like Mary, mother of Jesus, we receive Him in order to then “birth” Him into the world…in other words, in receiving God, we can give Him to others.
