It's always tough to glean meaning from such a small quote (9 words), but I'll try. Maybe that's why I have a tough time with poetry and lyrics

I'm assuming you're referencing the preponderance of "christian" bands on the list. There's some music on the list that doesn't fall into that category. For instance I was stunned by the mention of Might Could, a band that has little in common with the others. And really no play, except for my show (they're in MD and I'd seen them). Little Atlas, Porc Tree, Izz...little connection there.

It so happens that a lot of the great music in 2005 was put out by "spiritual artists". That's not anyone's cross to bear (pardon the pun).

I'm actually quite amused....on the Yahoo site, someone complained that this magazine was run by William Buckley, and it was a hate-mongering rag, fascist,etc. This set off a mini-firestorm. So I was confused...is there an agenda? Beats me. Who cares? It's a spot-on review of current music. I don't see that anywhere else. And that's all I got out of it. Is he a fascist? If so, why write about prog? So many inconsistencies....so I say...

Who gives a fuck? I liked the review....

If there's something I should know that I don't Kirk, by all means let me know. I'm not up on my political scorecard, since 2000 (we all know why there)...I just took it at face value. That's the only way I know. And I hope I still keep my head in the sand.

i've produced a few projects, most notably a guitar prodigy
by the name of adam lastiwka. it wasn't until it was in the can that
the record company owner broke to me that adam's only 18!
