John DiBiase’s (and YOUR) Most Anticipated 2013 Releases
We recently released the staff’s 15 most anticipated music releases from July till the end of the year, and it got me thinking about my own anticipated list for the entirety of 2013 and YOURS as well. Because it’s tough to predict what will come out later in the year, last year we split the […]
July 15, 2013 Journal: “Toys, Movies and Bug(Car)s, Oh My!” by John DiBiase
Our son Will is now 2 years and 9 months old. In recent months, his language development has accelerated considerably, which has been exciting for my wife and I to watch. He frequently surprises us with random movie quotes or repeating things we say… which brings no shortage of amusement […]
We Recommend: Green River Ordinance, “Under Fire”
Texas’ Green River Ordinance is a band with compelling music and an equally compelling story. Signed by Virgin Records and releasing an album of well received and tuneful pop-rock a few years ago, the band walked away from the deal to go out on their own and call the shots, including embracing […]
“Sorry, But Your New Album Just Isn’t Enough” by John DiBiase

10 Years Later: Steven Curtis Chapman, “All About Love”
2003 was the year I turned 12 years old. I was just starting to like music, and even then it couldn’t hold my attention for long… unless I REALLY liked it. But thanks to then-recent massive hits like Dive and Live Out Loud, Steven Curtis Chapman was one of those artists I REALLY liked. Granted, […]
We Recommend: Paper Route, “The Peace of Wild Things”
One album that was very much worth getting excited about in 2012 was Paper Route‘s sophomore effort, The Peace of Wild Things. Its electronic soundscape bore a distinct 80s flavor that didn’t sound dated, but instead utilized a retro feel that helped take the music in the appropriate emotional directions. Born out of […]
“Spoken: Where They’ve Been, Where They’re Going” by Matt Baird
Hello everyone, Many of you have been wondering “what happened to Spoken?” Well, let’s start back with the release of our “self titled” record in 2007. We’ve always been a band that tours nonstop and tries to keep as much momentum going as humanly possible. The tough thing is, […]
January 24, 2013 Journal: “Speech!” by John DiBiase
Will’s speech and comprehension of seemingly random things keeps amping up. Just the other night, we were out at a diner and he was holding a toy and suddenly raised it in the air and declared “Up!” And put it down and proclaimed, “Down!” And, I forget what the objects […]
