As I became a better guitarist, I continued to make tapes of short riffs and musical ideas. I still have those ...

It can be tempting, this time of year, to sing songs in our church services that are well-beloved and widely-known but many of which lack any Gospel-truth. We’ve grown up with them, heard them every Christmas, shopped for presents with them in the background, and sung them countless times. It’s not that they’re evil – they’re just fluffy. They’re nice and comfortable and sweet (i.e. syrupy), make an innocuous reference to a baby once in a ...

In 2009, we killed Auto-Tune, we partied in the U.S.A., and we howled "Awooo!" at the moon ( en espa ol, no less).

4 hours ago ago from The New York Times
Sting looked like quite the 19th-century Victorian gentleman when he performed a concert of winter songs at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine on Tuesday night. He wore a long frock coat, a white shirt and an antique-style tie. Much of the music originated from even earlier times: 15th-century carols, songs from Purcell operas, traditional English ballads. Sometimes Sting played a lute. Chad Batka for The New York Times ...
