Recycling Christmas:: 12 Days of Toto in Africa
I like to recycle, and as such, I’m posting another cheery video from last year, again this year to make you smile. You should be allowed to see some cute guys singing “The 12 Days of Christmas” for more than just one year, right? If you take notice, there are 12 guys singing–one forContinue reading “Recycling Christmas:: 12 Days of Toto in Africa”
Review :: Wonder of the World – Rush of Fools
By Clay W. Ginn Coming off a somewhat out of nowhere debut, Rush of Fools returns with their sophomore release, Wonder of the World. A wonderfully consistent recording, the new CD showcases an acoustic-based, modern rock sound.

In the Headlights :: The Christian Manifesto
Have I ever told you about the fine folks at The Christian Manifesto? No, but I should have. Ever since Cal (that’s what I call C.E. Moore, founder and head honcho over at TCM), left a comment here on Backseat Writer, we became fast friends and decided that collaboration is the way to go. AsContinue reading “In the Headlights :: The Christian Manifesto”
So much to say, so much to say!
This week I’m “unofficially” on vacation, which means I’m backing off from writing a bit to step back and consider the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Some of these group “power” songs can be heard at sporting events such as Queen’s ever-popular “We Will Rock You.” We women have our own genre ofContinue reading “Female Power Songs”
Review :: Revelation – Third Day
By Clay W. Ginn – Back in 1995, sitting in my dorm room at college, one of my friends came in and said “You’ve gotta hear this band! They’re awesome!” He yanks out whatever was in my CD player at the time, tosses it aside, and sticks in a disc by a group of guysContinue reading “Review :: Revelation – Third Day”
We haven’t done a Carman video in a while….
…so here’s one that starts out good and then goes downhill when he starts singing. My BFF Sarah told me that she MISSED the Carman videos. I bring you “America Again” in honor of the 4th of July.
Carman Video of the Week
It’s been months and months since I posted a “Carman Video of the Week” for you guys, and for that, I feel terrible. But Carman is back in the house and better than ever. Seriously, this guy is legend. Here’s when Carman went through that nasty rapping phase–“Who’s In the House?” J.C.!
Interview: Making Friends with Hawk Nelson’s Jason Dunn
By Amy Sondova “I’m talking to you and painting my kitchen,” cheerfully announces Hawk Nelson’s lead singer, Jason Dunn, as he carefully colors his walls Olympus white. “It’s actually lightish gray,” he explains, then distastefully adds, “I’m not sure if I really like the color, but I don’t have much of a choice now, doContinue reading “Interview: Making Friends with Hawk Nelson’s Jason Dunn”
