The power of Christ compels you, the power of Christ compels you… to Dance! This video rules on high. I know everyone has emailed you this majestic clip already, but I could not resist after seeing it on “The Soup” last Friday night.
There’s just so much to love about these super-pumped people of faith. Giant James Franco is my new favorite Jesus dancer and his vanilla-flavored “Dawn” bust out some heavenly moves too boot. I also dig the double-threat keyboard assault, but I’m not so happy with the air-drummer in the back pretending he’s pounding the skins to a pre-programmed drum track! Fake drums? Sinful.
More Goodness:
- Must See TV: Rachel Maddow Show. Unlike every other political yapper on TV, Rachel does not try to be the news, she just discusses it intelligently in civil tones with people in the know.
- Juliana Hatfield: “When I Grow Up: A Memoir”
- Good Jorb! Strongbad answers his 200th email!
- New Jealous Sound! The best band with the worst website (don’t make me chase buttons to get old news, dammit!) will finally be releasing some new stuff: Got Friends – 10/14/08 on iTunes.
- Dumb it Down for Me, Kip! 15 Things You Need to Know About the Panic of 2008
- Monday Morning Podcast: Comedian Bill Burr has a very funny podcast. What it lacks in production value, it makes up for in quiet rage.
Throw Another Shit on The Barbie! I know I gripe about Philly Radio a lot, and deservedly so, but allow me to bash satellite radio for a moment. Sirius and XM, the only two players in the satellite market, have merged (I know, who cares) and they are axing a bunch of channels. They recently pulled a move will make Philly knuckleheads pump their fists in the air with glee: Fungus 53, XM’s venerable punk and hardcore station manned by Lou Brutus, has been sacked and replaced with a 24-hour “AC/DC” channel. No kidding, 24 hours a day of mediocre dusty Dinosaur rawk from those craggly old midgets from down under. Ugh, mate.
