I still remember walking around the electronics section of Wal-Mart at the age of 17 with the money from my part time minimum wage job burning a hole in my pocket. At that time in my life, I was really just starting to build my massive collection of albums (which […]

“The Death of Rock” by Michael Weaver
As I sit here and listen to another highly disappointing “rock” release from a newly signed band, I wonder, “When did rock music die?” When did music become strictly about the business of selling records? Seriously? This trend is, and has been, occurring in both the Christian and secular music arenas for a […]
10 Years Later: P.O.D., “Satellite”
The next installment of ‘10 Years Later,’ features P.O.D.’s Satellite. Not many remember, but this album was released on one of the saddest and most tragic days in American history, September 11, 2001. It was a terrible first week to get album sales, but the perfect timing for an inspirational song like “Alive.” When all […]
We Recommend: O.C. Supertones, “Adventures Of The O.C. Supertones”

With all of the great music that Mark Stuart and company released over the years, Zombie seems to be a forgotten jewel. After a recent listen (actually two), I was reminded how great the album […]
“A Christmas Not Soon Forgotten…” by Michael Weaver

“Let There Be Wheat!” by Michael Weaver
Well, this is my first post here. I will start by saying that being a parent is a tough thing. It’s rewarding, but there’s a new challenge every day. My daughter, Avery, is 3 years old; a few weeks ago, it seemed she had gotten sick and no matter how […]
“The Doppelganger Experiment” by Michael Weaver
So, how exactly do you explain death to a 3-year old? If you have an answer, please let me know. Recently, I could not come up with an answer myself, so I chose to bypass the issue. Let me explain… My daughter has, or had, a pet hamster named Eleanor (a […]
