Isn't suspicious that the season the Devil Rays become the Rays, they reach the postseason for the very first time. Not only that, success always brings fans, and the Rays fanbase was absymal. I don't think there is a connection, but just saying. I've noticed I don't really like baseball anymore, which ironic because it was my best sport growing up. They didn't call me Grand Slam Sam for nothing. Debbie always said that she thought it was funny how these random country kids would chant for this pudgy bald Asian kid as he rounded the bases. Truly, those were the days--random farm boys calling my name. Really kind of enjoying Downhere's latest-- "Ending is Beginning." I've never been a huge fan of them, but I've been intrigued by a few of their songs in the past, especially Protest to Praise. I like the two singer thing going on here. Sometime you want a mellow crooner or bombastic tenor and you get both with this group. Sometimes a bit too CCM for me, but enjoyable nonetheless. Lincoln Brewster's new one, "Today is the Day," is at its best when it's just the instruments. His guitar work is pretty compelling for a worship album. When he gets to the actual words and melody though i lose some interest. It's kind of strange this way. Usually, it's the other way around. The track "Give Him Praise" is a bowl full of cherries. |
