Wow, I really need to be more consistent about posting on here. I have been informed that I do actually now have people who read this, which is encouraging in creating consistency in writing. But anyway....

Today I have a simple question for ya.

I like music a lot. It is a major part of who I am, both in creating and listening to it. However, if you asked me who I like, I always struggle to answer that. There is very little music I despise.... but as far as music I truly like goes, I am all over the place with mostly bands people don't really know much about. These days, I have really been moving more toward music that sounds good but doesn't sound so heavily produced, more live sounding....

A Formula Describing My Dilemma

Premises

1. I prefer the sounds of bands such as The Cold War Kids, The Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, TV On The Radio, Radiohead, etc...

2. Christian music is relatively not good. Aka- Most of the stuff on Christian radio isn't really worthwhile. I mean, you have 5% that is worth listening to (personal opinion) and 20% the is spiritually encouraging in lyric, and they barely overlap. Friends agree with me.

Therefore

I really want to listen to more Christian music, but it seems the industry in Christian realms has been so forceful in destroying an appearance of Christian incompetence in music as to disallow any genre resembling these more homegrown sounds.

Maybe too many Christian just hate this music.

Maybe Christians cannot physically play this music.

Maybe this music has evil beats and rhythms.

Maybe it's a conspiracy. (Always a possibility)

Or Maybe I just don't know about any of the bands that are out there.

I hope this is the case, I mean, I am not a music industry guru, so I am probably missing most of the music I would like the best.

If you are one of the blessed who recognize some of those names above, please let me know of any bands you could suggest. Preferably Christian. But whatever. This needs solving.
