Praise God, It's Spring Break

Spring Break !
Not sure what springbreak means to Harmony Korine, but to me, it means watching movies and going thrift-store searching and drinking coffee.
It will also involve grading, but patience- grading will happen at some later date. As of now, I am enjoying myself. I'm feeling satisfied, you might say....



Got an(other) album by AndraƩ Crouch and the Disciples today. That's right! Today! You are getting fresh-old tracks.
Above track is not wholly representative of their sound- most of it is a more standard gospel sound, and so not nearly so dance-ready as that song.

But hey, it's my goddamn goshdarn blog, and that is the song I most want to play. You know, I'm more a "The Disco is My Church", a "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" kind of guy. All their songs are quite good, a lotta power coming out of these disciples, but I'd most like to share this standout, if 'black-sheep', song.

Here are some of the liner notes, in case you are curious.
It is interesting that this, the first "Best of AndraƩ Crouch & the Disciples" album, should be released at this time. For this is an age in which wee are experiencing a nostalgic fervor across our country-- a yearning to recall some of the good-times from years past.

Needless to say, there is a nostalgic touch to this recording, too. The songs on this album are the songs that over the past years you have told us were your favorites. Most of these favorites bring back memories-- memories of difficulties and struggles-- but mostly times of great blessing and joy.

Our thoughts now are centered on the many people and friends around the world who have told us of the impact our songs have had on their lives-- praise God!


Isn't it present today as well, the thirst for nostalgia?
I think so; it would explain why all of America is flocking to my blog.
