The new Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Beware, is getting good reviews. Sample it at Amazon. Review and song preview at Paste. It releases tomorrow (download, CD). Remember Radiohead's great performance of "15 Step" with the USC Marching Band? Awesome. Go watch the nearly 9 minute video behind the scenes.
On My iPod...
I'm listening to a lot of John Coltrane's The Ultimate Blue Train. You can still download it for $1.99 and I highly recommend it. Sale won't last much longer. DM Stith's Heavy Ghost (great reviews!) is eerie and wonderful so far (download, CD). The Pogues are perfect for St. Patrick's Day and a Shamrock Shake. Really, they are great any time of year. No question their If I Should Fall From Grace With God is worth a lot more than Amazon's $3.99 price! Our Sunday morning at-home music before gathered worship was David Crowder Band's Remedy. Only $5 right now.

I grabbed the 2008 Missy Higgins album, On A Clear Night, because it was only $5 (still is!) and it's just the kind of music my wife loves. I'll be honest, I really like it too. Here's a great quality live version of "Where I Stood." This chick can sing...
Don't miss this last video. Maybe the most important song ever made...
