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 […]

January 11, 2013 Journal: “Heart Melts” by John DiBiase
I think one thing that has stalled updates on this site is the self-inflicted “pressure” of blogs or articles needing to feel entertaining enough to read. Most bloggers take this approach but what I think I’d like to do instead is… take the journal approach. You see, our little 2 […]
“AutoRip — YES! Thank you, Amazon!” by John DiBiase
In completely coincidental fashion, I just blogged recently about my struggles with being a “music collector” and one problem I’ve had in recent years–with everything moving the way of the exclusively digital–is that I often miss having the CD and artwork when I buy an album on iTunes or some similar digital […]
“Music Collector Role Call” by John DiBiase
I was organizing some CD’s on my shelf this afternoon, making room for new stuff, and a thought came to mind… It’s awfully hard to NOT be a music collector sometimes. It’s no secret that we get sent a lot of our music for review purposes, and these days it’s […]
“YOUR 2012 Year-End Top Album Picks” by John DiBiase
Hey guys! Each year, the JFH staff like to choose their favorite albums of the year and post them for all to read, and we know everyone’s thoughts and opinions differ, so we – once again – want to give you, the reader, the opportunity to share YOUR top 10 albums in the […]
“Favorite Christmas Memories Involving Christian Music” by John DiBiase
I’m going to go out on a limb here with a blog post that’s a little random and probably out of left field. I love Christmas — there’s the timely, relevant part. My mind is wired to start feeling like a kid again around the holidays. Christmas music triggers all […]
“When A Music Video Makes You A Fan” by John DiBiase
There are many different ways fans of an artist can discover the artists they become fans of. When I was a teen, music video shows — like Signal Exchange and CCMtv — were big parts of my after school television viewing and I would be subject to music videos of […]
We Recommend: Bebo Norman, “Myself When I Am Real”
Ten years ago, then-Essential Records folk pop artist Bebo Norman released one of his best projects, Myself When I Am Real. When Bebo first debuted, his music was considerably more stripped-down and folk-based than people have probably come to know him for in recent years. By 2002, Myself When I Am Real was probably the […]
Ten of John DiBiase’s Top Favorite Songs of All Time
About a year or so–maybe even longer now–the JFH staff talked about compiling our top, favorite songs in Christian music of all-time. They’d be songs each staff member had chosen on a personal level, and we’d comment on why we chose those songs. Recently, and I forget exactly what brought […]
“Christian Music Dream Teams” by John DiBiase
Left to right: Kevin Max, Dave Ghazarian, Jared Byers, Will McGinniss, Jason Walker Well, the cat’s out of the bag! We had been keeping the lid on the recent leaked Audio Adrenaline news at the request of the band, but apparently not everyone around the web got that memo. So with the news […]
