Caleb Travers has a blog! I just discovered this. Perhaps it’s been there all along? I’ve written a post about this musician before. Remember? His band is Caleb Travers & Big City Lights. That’s right, one of my favorite bands in St. Louis (actually, one of favorite bands in general). Anyway, he has a blog. So check it out [...]

Music That Rocks (Literally)
It’s time for me to make a recommendation.
Caleb Travers & Big City Lights
These guys are awesome. They were recently voted the best alt-country band in St. Louis. Caleb, the lead vocalist and guitarist, has this unmatchable rich voice…sort of Ryan Adams meets Travis, only a little more rugged (in a good way). In this band, you [...]

Do you ever wish you just had an official list of all the movies you need to see? I find myself wishing it everytime I say, “Ooooh, wait, what’s that one movie that one person told us about that we need to watch?” So, as part of my New Year’s resolution, I’m doing it. I’m [...]

Heirloom: A Poem
This is one of Bryan’s poems. I won’t speak too much to the content because I want you to read it for yourself, but I welcome your comments.
Heirloom
I
The steeple
Vaults upward to a point,
Poised to prick
The grey quilt of the sky,
Until it bleeds
Daylight or rain.
Between the steeple’s summit
And swelling belly of a cloud

I have this friend Darin, who I knew at Mizzou. He’s living in Japan right now teaching (I think). For about two months, he’s been compiling a list of The Fifty Greatest Albums of All Time, and now it’s ready! I encourage you to take a look, he’s quite learned in the music scene.
This made [...]

Angels of the Universe M.I.A.
Alright, it’s been about four hours since I’ve begun my search for Angels of the Universe (aka Englar Alheimsins, based on the book by Einar Már Guðmundsson)…the film, not the soundtrack. I can’t find it ANYWHERE (believe me, I’ve looked). Does anyone know where I can buy it? It was only released in Iceland, Denmark, [...]

MaggieLou Jewels
My friend Maggie has a hobbie of making jewelry, and has turned this hobbie into a business! Here is a little blurb from her website:
I specialize in interchangeable earring charms. Why interchangeable? Because I like to have lots of options when it comes to jewelry (mostly because I have lots of clothes). Because my sterling [...]

Yes, Much Ado About Nothing
About a week or so ago, I posted a response to a post by Wes on The Reformation and Images. The discussion in that post inspired other posts by both Wes and his friend Paul on the issue of art….what is art? What makes art good or bad? Is there an element of objectivity when [...]
