Good evening everyone! Tonight’s entry comes from historic Edinboro, PA, home of Olympic Gold Medalist in freestyle wrestling Bruce Baumgartner. Day 4 was just a blast to say the least, as the PRT took part in the 2010 edition of Ignite Festival, which took place in rural Meadville, PA. Friends, […]

“Pop Rally Tour Blog Days 2 and 3” by The Great Transparency
Hey there, users of the internet! Miah here, typing to you from Tommy’s MacBook, and hanging out in safe, lovely, Port Huron, MI. WiFi has been avoiding us the past day or so, but we won the fight tonight lol. So first, a slight recap of Day 2. Last night, […]
“The Power of Positive Speech” by J.M. Farro
My husband, Joe, and I have been raising pet ducks for many years, and we’ve had our male duck, Larry, for 10 of those years. Every molting season, Larry loses all of his brightly-colored, iridescent feathers, and for a time, he looks woefully scraggly. He hangs his head low, and […]
We Recommend: Jars Of Clay, “Much Afraid”
Much Afraid was actually one of the first albums I really got into. Although Jars Of Clay’s sophomore project isn’t as predominant as their classic self-titled debut, it still manages to stand on its feet. The first half of the album features great pop rock tunes like “Overjoyed,” “Fade To Grey,” and […]
“The Practices of the Sentimentally Insane” by John DiBiase
At a recent visit of my parents’ house, I grabbed three boxes of “forgotten” items from my old bedroom closet (which is now my mother’s office) and decided to take them home and go through them. Of course, it’s not that I NEED more stuff at my house or have […]
“Texas and Transmissions” by Satellites & Sirens
Ooooh, and so the road adventures continue!!! It’s been a little too long since we’ve checked in with you guys out on the interwebs. We’ve been keeping busy with both life on the road and at home. Buuuut, today’s update is going to revolve around our recent road adventures. I […]
“The Final Countdown” by John DiBiase
Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of taking part in the conspiracy that was a surprise baby shower for my wife, Amy – marking shower #3 (the first was in Nashville with our friends there and the second was with my family in NJ since my grandmother can’t travel […]
We Recommend: Common Children, “Skywire”
Some of you may notice that I tend to pick albums older than just a couple years ago for these recommendation blogs. I have found that some really great music seems to become almost altogether completely forgotten, which borders on criminal. But, with the wonders of the web these days, […]
“Boys and Baseball” by John Clore
As I write this, my little Harvey is sitting in the living room behind me watching The Wiggles. I personally cannot stand that show, but I love that he loves it. Two of his teddy bears are watching with him: one with a University of Kentucky (my wife’s Alma Mater) sweatshirt, […]
“Christian indie rock rawks!” by Adam Dawson
Over the years my music tastes have skewed away from CCM (contemporary Christian music) and mainstream music, and delved more into the realm of indie rock. It’s a pity really, because now I just think that radio singles are (with the exception of a few really good songs) rubbish. As […]
