    – A surprise cover of my favorite Christmas song this year. It’s a song that you’ve probably never heard before, but that doesn’t mean it’s not about Christmas.
    Also, side note: I was listening to an awful Christmas album this afternoon (City on a Hill: It’s Christmas Time) and I realized something: most of our culture – even Christians – tend to over-emotionalize the Christmas Event. Christians should be blown away by the idea of Christmas 24-7, 365. If you’re not, then something’s wrong with you.

    What I’m listening to right now:

  • Push It, Mathes

    Man, I’m tired. Over the past few days, I’ve been spending a ton of time serving my family – to the obvious neglect of my music. On some level, it’s a sign of healthy priorities: people over achievement. But on another level, it means that when I finally do get around to working on music – like now – I really don’t have any juice left. I just have to do the best I can.

    The rest of tonight (2-3 hours) will be spent prepping for my show on Friday night. I just have to push it.
    What I’m listening to right now: The Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack.
