I ran across Christianity Today's list of Best Christian Albums of 2006, and boy-o-boy... I haven't even heard of half of the names on the list. I was glad to see Ashley Cleveland (I'm a little in love with her voice) and Jars of Clay, but... who are these other people?
I used to actually be pretty 'into' the Contemporary Christian Music scene - I even subscribed to the magazine. But then it all became very contrived and a little distasteful (to me). Lately I've not really even known what it exactly means to be a "Christian" musician. I would just as soon listen to "plain" music as something that had to have its own describer.
But, you know, the truth is... and I hate to admit it... I don't really even listen to music too much anymore. If I'm in the car I might tune to 91.1 or 91.5 - the local high school-run stations out of Homestead and Columbia City. And if I listen to CD's it's just to get stuff ready for church - which, I guess, is "usually" Christian stuff, but includes a good amount that would not be labeled that by "Christians." And I just have not gotten into the downloading of music too much. I guess I'm old. In fact, the other night at Best Buy I was actually complaining to Jane about how loud the music was in there. Man, somebody should just shoot me. I can't believe it's come to this.
So... this is what I was thinking this morning. Peace.
