I realize that it has been a while since I posted. There are a few people who read the blog regularly so I know I’ve kinda disappointed you. The truth is, I’ve been rethinking things. I went back and read a lot of the stuff I wrote and wanted to do a major overhaul. Of course, then I realized it’s just a blog! Due to a few classes that I took in my last year of university (*sigh*), I started thinking about the nature of ‘art’ and it’s role in our culture. I started to think more about Christianity’s relationship to culture. Christianity has a bit of a PR issue (a term that only our culture could appreciate) in western culture. Gone are the glory days of western domination.

Long story short, I decided to start a new blog. Soundtrack to My Thoughts was an experiment in writing for me. Some friends and strangers seemed to enjoy the stuff that I was writing about, so I guess I passed the test. My new blog is basically an expansion of this one. I like to explore cultural themes, especially when these themes are discussed through ‘art.’

It’s officially up and running, so check out High Thoughts on Low Art.

Christmas Music

November 18, 2008

Merry Christmas! Just thought my rowdy friends might be interested in some of these Christmas songs. These videos are homemade by random people online. Unfortunately, some of the images used are offensive. But I suspect that most of you are not interested in watching the videos, so just press play so you can hearĀ  the song and then pay no attention to the videos. The bands wouldn’t likely endorse the images used.

Bad Religion – Silent Night

Ramones – Merry Christmas I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight

The Vandals – Oi To the World

MXPX (not Green Day) – Christmas Day

Relient K – Angels We Have Heard on High

Happy Christmas War is Over

MXPX

Toby Mac – This Christmas

Relient K – Hallelujah

Metallica – Carol of the Bells

No Doubt – Oi To the World
