Talk Elections

Easily. Seeing them in June now, can't wait, I'm feeling like a 14-year old girl about to see Justin Bieber.

I am so going to wear the shirt of a band that promotes atheism to be "ironic", just like I changed into an Ampere shirt after I was dunked.

'Adam Lay Ybownden', 'O Salutaris Hostia', and Allegri's Miserere are Christian music, so no.

*listens*

OK I made it about a minute in. This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh31j6L95Ok) most certainly does not compare to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTgAzRovhWk) or this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LFI0dGe1tc).

Also I can't understand any of it. It might as well be in the original Latin.

You may be on to something.
The Fox, The Crow, And The Cookie (http://youtu.be/_ZEX6w3-KbE) is another gem from their discography.

Tweed sent me this a bit ago pointing out based on this the new record should be great. He was right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv2k_3bUdrg

I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but I'll definitely be picking up the vinyl version on Tuesday when it hits.

Speaking of vinyl, In a Market Dimly Lit (http://youtu.be/keKBNK5Vox4) is another favorite.

I really dig mewithoutYou but I still think The Devil Wears Prada is my favourite Christian band. I've always said that if I ever convert back to Christianity, it'll be because of The Devil Wears Prada.

The Devil Wears Prada are nothing but very generic fifth wave metalcore indistinguishable from dozens of other bands.

lol

The Power of Failing was probably better than anything mwY has done.  you may categorically argue that Mineral was not 'Christian music', but neither is mwY a 'Christian band' nor Christian rock.

That album has like only like two Christian songs on it. Most of Mineral's more Christian songs were on EndSerenading. Also mewithoutYou has had far more explicit Christian references in their songs than anything Mineral had done (also think of the meaning of "A->B Life")

Tweed, the outspoken Atheist and BRTD, the token Christian Leftie, discussing Christian music.

I smell a sitcom!

Lots of atheists like the Christian music I do. It's not like it's the awful stuff on Christian radio or whatever.

I like some Christian music. Just not the "JEEEEEEEEEZUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSS ROOOOOOOOOOOOSEEEEEE AND DATS Y HE LOOOOOOVESSES MEEEEEEEEEE" kinda stuff.

exactly.

Oh God

Oh so it is in Latin after all? LOL. Nathan do you have a last.fm? It'd be funny to compare us.

Tweed, if you get an LDS baptism are you going to wear a band shirt and if so which one? I wore a Jawbreaker shirt.

I don't, but a friend's pressuring me to get it, so if I do comparing with you will definitely be interesting/amusing.

So apparently YouTube has some built in thing to help with shaky videos now. Ha, awesome.

"of all time" is so fitting to the personality of the OP. Seriously? "Of all time"? Have you declared yourself judge of all music from the 500's to present? Oh, but you have certain tastes, and your tastes are "right", and we should agree with you then, and your tastes say that "mewithoutYou" is good, and you like it more than other things, so obviously it has to be the best. Right.

As for me? I'd say "What Wondrous Love is This?" from that church hymnal is my favorite.

Uh, it's not much different than if you proclaimed The Doors the best band of all time.


This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMd35tfCiXQ) is most certainly better than this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOvTU1_uMeo). I wish I had recorded them playing it, but honestly it would've been just a blur with how much jumping I was doing during that song. That hymn doesn't even make me want to raise my hands, which should be a minimum for any Christian song.

Go easy on Cathcon, it's not his fault he's unfamiliar with the greatness that is Boris Ord's majestic setting of 'Adam Lay Ybounden'.

Don't recall saying that, but if I did, the logic I stated in the quoted post is still just as relevant.


Actually don't seem like that bad of a band, though I can't claim to be a huge fan of the singer.

As for what I mentioned, it should be mentioned that I listen to it with my church's cantor, not that dude that's singin' it.

And lastly, what do you mean by hand-raising? You mean This (http://blog.pedereide.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/As-Is-Weekend-in-Alabama.jpg)? In any case, as I always say when our current organist goes into that one song, "We're Catholic, dammit! We don't sway to our music!" and I'll reiterate here as well. I don't listen to music to be physically moved per se (sp?), I prefer to be mentally absorbed. I don't really need to do some weird motion to do such. I don't party in church is what I'm saying. You seem to feel a need to be entertained by what's in church. I don't wanna start a feud here or something, but you seem to be just as intolerant as me on music (more so?) just in the opposite direction.

Yes Cathcon, that's a big factor into why my church has so many ex-Catholics. The pastor who baptized me in our pre-talk said that well over half the people who get baptized there were baptized Catholic or Lutheran as babies, and I've talked to tons of people who left the Catholic church there. Could it be because they were bored with it and wanted the hand raising and all that?

Then they weren't choosing religions based on religious factors. They wanted entertainment. Great life choice.

There was obviously more to it than that. One of the pastors who was raised Catholic is a married woman. Obviously there would be no future for her in the Catholic Church.

BRTD, please get over the RCC stuff.

However, I will ask you as a forum elder what you think  the best way to self immolate an account is.

lol I didn't think anyone besides Tweed and Lewis remembered that (funny thing is that was a song reference but I can't even remember what song it was, I'm sure I still have the record though). I suppose baulexus just gave us an example though.

I would set myself on fire for you

I'm familiar with the band but I don't think it was them.

Hey Tweed would you raise your hands seeing mewithoutYou? I noticed a bunch of the people in attendance did during certain songs in a rather reverent manner (basically the ones with an explicit reference to God and whatnot) which made it obvious which kids were Christian and what kids weren't but liked their music anyway. I wonder if Cathcon would keep his hands down too. ;)

Ugh, that's just like typical Christian contemporary crap, bleh.

I doubt there will be many people, if anyone at all, listening to their stuff a hundred years from now. On the other hand, there are songs older than them that will still be heard.
