Saturday Night at The Heeremas
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008(Matt and Nancy sitting across from each other at the dinner table, each messing with their computers…)
Matt: humming annoying song
Nancy: “If you’re trying to impress me, that song isn’t helping.”
Matt: “What if I tried a different one.”
Nancy: Rolls eyes
Matt: sings “You never close your eyes, anymore whe…”
Nancy: interrupting “Okay, THAT makes me want to close […]
An Artist’s Inspiration
Monday, October 15th, 2007“Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a theif. They all kill their inspiration and then sing about their grief.”
U2 - The Fly
(The above quote has little to do with this article other than it’s by one of my inspirations, and it’s about art and inspiration :-D)
Every artist has their inspirations. Almost […]
My Review, A Little Late: David Crowder Band - Remedy
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007I love The David Crowder Band. I love pretty much everything they do. They are the most innovative band operating in the Christian ghetto wing of the music industry these days, and probably rank up there in the wider world of the music industry as well.
I haven’t ranted and raved about the new […]
Charles Wesley: And Can It Be
Friday, October 5th, 2007And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Savior’s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain— For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can […]
Cheap Worship
Sunday, September 30th, 2007Kathy feels we need to unplug… to turn it down. I don’t disagree. (In fact, I do agree.)
We need more quiet reflection, and deeper study of God’s word. We need shared meals, more prayer, more confession (to one another). We need more proclamation of God’s amazing grace and righteous judgment (maybe […]

The Lone Strangers Interviewed On The Radio
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007On the off chance that you read this blog and not Pat’s, he posted an mp3 of The Lone Strangers’ (our band) interview on KCCQ, the local clear channel station.
I wasn’t able to be at the interview, but it’s probably just as well.
I want my MTV
Wednesday, April 25th, 2007MTV’s Web site is sweet. They just released a fast, clean, HTML+CSS site, a wonderful change from their Flash based behemoth, which really was a technical wonder, but really hard to use. I am totally digging the new version. Mad props to my favorite designer/dev, Dan Cedarholm, for leading the team into […]

How much would you pay for one? ($15?)

The Lone Strangers Rock VEISHEA
Friday, April 20th, 2007Last night’s show was amazing. Thank you to everyone who stopped out. We got some pretty good press from a few of the judges. They gave fairly positive reviews to all the bands, which was nice, but ours were glowing. And for the record, we have been playing together forever, and […]
The Violet Burning: More
Monday, April 16th, 2007When they played last Wednesday at the Bali Satay House, they rocked harder than most bands I’ve seen there recently. This song came along, beginning with a hypnotic rhythm and beautiful guitar riffing. I thought it was an instrumental, interlude type piece, and then it explodes in a simple, but beautiful prayer:
[…]
The Violet Burning Tear It Up In Ames
Thursday, April 12th, 2007Last night I had the distinct privilege of watching The Violet Burning play at a very small venue in Ames.
From their Web site:
“All my life I have been looking for light I cannot find within me.”
This is not only a lyric from Drop-Dead, the latest record from The Violet […]

I Am A Powerpop Punk Rocker
Thursday, April 5th, 2007This is a profound realization for a man who spends a majority of his time playing “contemporary” “Chrisitian” “praise and worship” “music”.
I took a blogthing quiz “What Kind Of Rocker Are You” and it told me I’m an Emo Rocker. The heck I am!!
Metallica, Face to Face, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Foo Fighters, Rage Against […]

New David Crowder Band: Oh The Glory Of It All
Thursday, February 15th, 2007Unfortunately not a new live album yet (I hear that is coming later this year?), but still a good live recording from Passion 07.
Called “Oh The Glory Of It All” it seems to be, musically and lyrically a progression in the line of “Deliver Me” and “Coming Towards”. If you put these three songs […]
