In Defense of Tebow: Jesus doesn't care about...
So, if you know me you know I’m an avid follower of all things Tim Tebow. My family are die-hard Gator fans and I’m always interested in keeping tabs on who both the self-proclaimed and unintentional “faces” of the Western church are from year to year. I think Tebow falls under the latter moniker of accidental spokesman, but I certainly think he’s a better media focal...

Hatebreed Factoids
Did you know that:
• There is not one truth cast into stone, only lies cast into flames.
• In a world in this day, it’s kill or be killed.
• Now is the time for you to rise to your feet.
• Every bone in my body will ache `Till I destroy everything that you love
• Facing what consumes you is the only way to be free.
• If you don’t live for something, You’ll die for nothing....

Here’s a re-post from one indie label’s Thanksgiving list of blessings over the last year. I like this one especially.
3. Napster, the Internet, and the collapse of the music industry
At no other time in the history of recorded music could a label have done what Spacebomb is doing. The rise of digital proliferation and sales have driven down costs and leveled the playing field to...

You Can't Write Us Off Forever
A recent NY Times article serves (in my view) as excellent evidence that our kids won’t be able to write-off reasonable, intelligent, and compassionate Christians as oddballs any more. If you know me, you know that it’s hard for me to let people make wide-arching statements about Christians or Christianity without me chiming in and saying “Hey, I don’t think any of that...

National Edge Day Rumination
So today is National Edge Day.
Obviously this isn’t a thing to be taken incredibly serious. It, like so many things tied to punk and hardcore, is a bit tongue and cheek. However, I think it is useful for those of use who choose to use the term “straight edge” to conveniently sum up our pro-active abstinence from drugs and alcohol to assess what exactly our association with the...

Obligatory Unpatriotic Paycheck-related Post
Last month I sold $81,000 in ukuleles and tiny drum sets. In this economy, that’s no mean feat.
My commission of that (I don’t mind sharing) was $5282.03
Last night, my bank account received a deposit of $3778.06
I am not, I repeat *not*, a “raise my taxes lose my vote” person. I’m all about high taxes to fund government and social services.

Attention Mega-Punk-Anarcho-Crusts
If you really wanted things to change you would take all that shit out of your face, cover up your tattoos, and put on a tie before going to the protest.

Also, stop acting like the world is...
