worship in jakarta, indonesia

i am sitting in the hong kong airport, waiting to board my plane headed to los angeles. i have been in indonesia for this event since last thursday, june 5. it was an absolutely amazing experience. i have a lot of stories and pics to share, but in the meantime, i wanted to share a couple of videos from our time in jakarta, indonesia. i’ll tell you what, there are some Jesus-loving people in indonesia! more coming soon… enjoy!

free music from joel auge

… ah yes, the magic words. and even better… legal free music!

check out new integrity music worship artist joel auge. he is being featured this week on itunes’ free discovery download with his downright delightfully melodic tune “so deep in love”.  i assure you… it will literally be music to your ears.

the search for great new music is fun, and you know i would never steer you wrong… so go download it for free then tell all your peoples’nem about it. his full album, “on the blue” releases july 1, and you’ll want to check that out, too.

i can ride my bike with no handlebars

looking for some fresh new music? check out flobots. their joint “handlebars” is killing. musically, it is equal parts eminem, gorillaz, rage against the machine, beastie boys and linkin park… flobots are bringing the heat.

whitney loves the lord

whitney houston is on her way back. she has been tucked quietly away for months now working on her big comeback album, which is supposedly due out in november. i love that she is laying low, working it all out (personally, spiritually, professionally) and staying out of the public eye. that’s how you do it, kids. stay out of the club, stay off tmz, work on you and let the people miss you.

check out this video of her performing ‘i love the lord’ in morocco just 5 days ago. the video quality is bad, but her voice sounds better than it has in years. certainly not the whitney we knew in her glory days, but she has come a long way and i’m excited to see her re-emerge successfully and victoriously over all the challenges she has been through in her life.  go ‘head and praise him, whitney!

flashing lights #3

for those keeping track, this would be the third official video for kanye’s “flashing lights” track. (check out versions 1 and 2) this joint is one of my faves from the graduation album. i love the song and love this video. the creativity is bangin and the visuals are sick.

yawn

the new usher album “here i stand” released today and wow… yawn. it sounds like he took too much time off after confessions and rushed to get this out. and let’s not even discuss his weak performances on snl a couple weeks ago. i’m sure it will sell because after all, it is usher. don’t get me wrong, i’m not a hater. but i’m also not going to blow something up if it’s wack. and the new record, in my opinion, is indeed tired and wack.

discuss.
