  • Saturday Tunes, Valentines Day Edition

    Typically for Saturday tunes I share the next 10 random songs coming out of my iPod. But today is Valentines Day and its all about love and sappy stuff like that. With that in mind I am going to change things up a bit this week and share some favorites.

    Top 5 Most Listened to Songs

    1. Falling Slowly by Glen Hansgard & Marketa Irglova

    2. Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) by Chris Tomlin

    3. 1234 by Feist

    4. Basket Case by Green Day

    5. Stop & Stare by OneRepublic

    Top Ten Faves of the Moment

    1. Anyone Else But You by Michael Cera & Ellen Page (Moldy Peaches version is also my fav)

    2. God’s Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash

    3. Good Riddance by Green Day

    4. I Will Not be Silent by David Crowder Band (Deliver Me, Foreverandever, and You Are My Joy are also Crowder favs)

    5. Rise by Eddie Vedder

    6. Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 (One, Beautiful Day, 40… tough to narrow it to a few U2 songs)

    7. Homecoming by Kanye West (Not sure why I like this so much, but this song rocks)

    8. Sweet Home Alabama by Lynard Skynyrd

    9. Chanukah Song by Adam Sandler (I love Sandler songs!)

    10. Where Everybody Knows Your Name by Gary Portnoy (Yes, this is the Cheers theme song)

    OK, so I don’t have just 10 favorites. I could list 50 songs here and not cover all the best stuff. But this is a good start.

  • Saturday Tunes

    Saturday TunesThis morning I’ll be teaching a class at Romeo Bible Institute on the Book of Acts. After that I’m coming home to start working on some template and structure changes at Youth Ministry Exchange. And at some point during the day Patti and her family are arriving from Albany, NY to hang out with us for their Spring Break. They were tired of their Gubanatorial sex scandal in their state so they thought they’d come to the Detroit area… where we know how to mix our mayoral sex scandals with bribery and dead strippers.

    As I am finalizing my preparation for classes, my iTunes is rockin’ these next 10 songs. As always these are random, no cheating, ratings included.

    1. Every Breath You Take by The Police ****
    2. How Great Thou Art by Charlie Hall ****
    3. Our Love is Loud by David Crowder Band ****
    4. All I Want is You by Barry Louis Polisar *****
