a tune for the poparazzi

woot woot woot.

switchfoot's the beautiful letdown is one of those cds i love and then forget about, then love and forget about again. at the moment i'm loving it, and not the macdonalds kind. it's really great. by far the best thing about it is (are?) the lyrics. the lead singer's voice is pretty unexciting, it's good enough but there's nothing special about it. he can sing. but it doesn't grab you or anything. on songs like meant to live the guitars are really fab, and on this is your life, the decks are cool. but in all, it's definitely the lyrics that get me. how fab to have a christian band--a real christian band, who are unashamedly christian and let their passion for god spill over into and indeed inform their music wholeheartedly--become so successful. permeating the minds of the masses, hooked on the riff in meant to live or the honesty of dare you to move; subconsciously infiltrating the minds behind mainstream culture with the word of life.

i should be studying.
