So I made it 9 months without missing a daily post (although a few came an hour or two past midnight EST.) But due to a combination of travel, a late night at the Penguins-Canucks game in Vancouver, and a crappy computer that wouldn't connect, I didn't get to post yesterday. So here's yesterday's song, retroactively.
Heard it on 100.5 The Peak, Vancouver's awesome radio station, whilst driving up from Seattle. One of a plethora of great songs they played, many of which will likely show up here in the coming days. This trip is in some ways a mirror of the trip which originally inspired me to start this blog, and this station played a role in that.
This track is from a British songstress and is a bit on the dance/techno side, but it's enjoyable and has some interesting lyrics...
The Newsboys were one of my favorite bands growing up. The Aussie rockers (well, the original members, anyway) have been around almost as long as I have, but their prime (in my opinion) was 1994 thru 2003. Like many bands, longevity has been achieved by adapting and evolving their sound over the years, as well as member turnover. In fact, I just checked wikipedia to confirm, but at this point, not a single founding member is left in the band - which, in my book, ought to mean they dropped the name and started fresh... unfortunately, that's not what happened, but we're not here to talk about the present. Suffice to say the band had a good run, but even though I do love new frontman Michael Tait from his time in DC Talk, and the other three current members were around for The Good Old Days, it's just not the same as it was in the Golden Age of frontmen John James + Peter Furler + Phil Joel.
