As I fondled Katya, my pillow girlfriend...

I'm not sure why exactly I can't be as diligent a blogger as someone like Brooklyn Vegan, I mean I'm sure he works for a living right? I've got all the time in the world and yet it seems so tough just to dig into some mp3 discs that I've made since December of 2000 and try to bless you with some songs. It's interesting really, he juggles the blog, setting up a weekly radio show on Sirius Satellite and manages to attend a show every single night it seems. I'm languishing in obscurity with flies in my wallet in my room all day. Oh how sad it is. Well I hope to at least post 3 times a week during the rest of the summer because you the people deserve it. Alright here are the songs-

mp3: Youth Alive - Sweetness/Can't Live
mp3: Fanmail - Rock 'n Roll Star

I've loved John Davis' music since 1996 when I first saw Superdrag's "Sucked Out" video. It was huge...the video was nothing spectacular but it was an MTV Buzzclip and so modern rock radio at the time really blew the song up. I'm always whisked away to the mid-90's whenever that song plays. Years later the band broke up, John had a Paul "on the road to Damascus" moment and found Jesus who is now the main focus of his music. Christians do sometimes get the good ones and he's definitely one of them. These are some demos from his upcoming second solo album titled Arigato!

mp3: John Davis - Scared of what I might find
mp3: John Davis - Never Changing

OK this last one is a bit unorthodox since it's in a completely different language...hear me out though! The artist's name is Marco Barrientos and he's a huge figure in the world of Spanish worship. There's really a trinity (no pun intended) when it comes to that, it's Marco, Marcos Witt and Jesus Adrian Romero. These dudes are huge! I happen to like Marco's music more since his band tends to rock out a bit more than the other guys, not real heavy or anything but it works. So yeah this next song is my favorite which is interesting since it isn't even Marco taking lead--the vocalist featured here is Yvonne Munoz who has a beautiful voice and serves the tune well. Sometimes Marco will let someone else take the spotlight on his albums. The music though is what caught me, it reminds me of so many good indie pop songs that I can't place just one other song that sounds like it. Well decide for yourself.
