Just to clarify, when we say we don't like "CCM", that does not mean that we don't like all "Christian" music, or why would we listen to DA??? CCM is a moniker that has come to mean all that is cheezy and lame in music. I would advise you to buy a cd called "Sacred Cows" by DA's altar ego band, the Swirling Eddies, and maybe you will understand why we love C*rm*n so much here and all that type of stuff. I like Larry, Glen and all that stuff. C*rm*n, Amy and all of that type make me want to lose my lunch. I don't know if he is ready for the Scared Cows __________________ 07-02-2002 17:03 Joey T.

I read the debates on Sacred Cows and I'm not even certain I'm ready. Anyway, it's July 2nd which means I have already spent my July Christian music allotment. I have already looked at buying some of this stuff- but it'll have to wait until August. I have to control my compulsion! __________________ This is where I put my signature. 07-02-2002 22:18 servantsteve Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 07-02-2002 Posts: 4,168 Location: Ole Virginny Thread Starter OK I'm sort-of ready        Alright, I bid on ebay.

Dunphy Unsullied Affiche Registration Date: 03-27-2002 Posts: 25 ServantSteve - Opinion of CCM        Hey there. I've made this statement before. I'll probably make it again several times in the future too. Stay tuned! Here it is: Inherently, there's nothing wrong with CCM. It's there. It exists. But it's just like the regular pop music that's out there in the so-called secular music industry. It relies so heavily on tricks and cliches that it's like you've heard one and then all of them. When we natter on about good vs. bad music on this site, many of us have listened to this stuff for decades and, because of that, have grown irritable with those chestnuts. We like DA a lot because the sound of the music, while always contemporary, is never beholden to trends. And Terry Taylor doesn't talk down to his audience, not feeling the need to strap doilies onto unpleasant truths or to shy away from references his listeners may not get. Conversely, a good chunk of CCM seems to dwell on bumper-sticker polemics and feel-good praiseology. Remember that even while we're called to be of cheer, it's a hard thing to do in a tough, money-driven world. So what deserves reporting, the cheer or the struggle? Don't mind when we get edgy here. We ramble on about all kinds of topics and have different ways of expressing ourselves but, rest assured, most of us are good people! (tee-hee). ___________________________________________________________ Dunphy makes music (allegedly)... http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/429/dw_dunphy.html 07-03-2002 10:27 servantsteve Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 07-02-2002 Posts: 4,168 Location: Ole Virginny Thread Starter It's a big, big house. Sorry, you walked into that one. Like the folks on this board, I also get tired of some of the pop sounds in CCM. I take exception to character attacks on the artists. But, 'nuff said. I got into this message board to explore Christian music that is fresh and invigorating and I have found a nice discussion of that. I look forward to my first Terry Taylor album. I may have a Swirling Eddie album very soon from the link one of you casual rascals put on an earlier post. If not, I'm in a MBD readiness posture for my August consumption of Jesus music. I do alot of very boring data analysis at work and keep the headphones on all day. As a result, I listen to a great deal of music over and over. Praise and worship music is good for that, but I need variety, too. I've found alot of outstanding music on the internet and I buy mass quantities. My prayer is that in seeking to feed my desire for tunes, I glorify God. we can't live in a vaccuum on planet earth. But waht do I know? I'm just a dark, steaming cabbage. __________________ This is where I put my signature. 07-03-2002 10:44 jc Luteous Llama Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 383 WELL        TRY BEING A MIND PEACH! jImiNY 07-03-2002 11:31 servantsteve Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 07-02-2002 Posts: 4,168 Location: Ole Virginny Thread Starter peachy peachy        that's my goal in life __________________ This is where I put my signature. 07-03-2002 11:50 arcticsunburn Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 06-10-2002 Posts: 2,084 Location: Guitar; A way to express what words can't describe, and a moment of peace in a chaotic world.

It doesn't even mean that they didn't practice the songs 1000 times. It just means that everyone was there in the studio at the same time playing and singing all of their parts - some of which would have been "overdubbed" on a regular album. In the '60s they didn't have such technology so all recordings were "live" if that gives you any idea... It is nonetheless amazing that they recorded most of the songs on the first try... __________________ David Andrew Wiebe www.daw-music.com www.arcticsunburn.com 07-03-2002 13:53 jc Luteous Llama Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 383 AS i SAID        GIT YER BUDDIES TOGETHER... AND SEND ME A TAPE. jImINY 07-03-2002 15:41 kevinf Dark Steamy Cabbage Registration Date: 04-30-2002 Posts: 14 CCM etc.        I have to jump in here. The disdain you see for CCM is probably a little exaggerated, but at least for my part, heartfelt. Here's why. The division of the world into "secular" and "Christian" is a recent phenomenon. While we have been admonished to set our minds on things above, the just, the pure, the lovely things, etc., I do not believe that this necessitates segregating things like art, music, poetry into Christian and non-Christian categories anymore than it makes sense to try to classify chickens and cars as Christian and non-Christian. Granted, chickens and cars don't "say" things like art, music, poetry and movies, but bear with me. Art is good, or art is bad; it speaks truth, or it does not; it is beautiful, or it is ugly. It isn't "Christian" or "not-Christian." Only a person can be a Christian or not a Christian. At one time, CCM was an embattled voice trying to be heard above the din, trying to have its viewpoint taken seriously in the marketplace of ideas. Somewhere along the line, it became an excuse to feed dumbed-down drivel to the masses just like NSYNC does, just another segment of the market. Christendom, and particularly American Christendom does not need another excuse to stop thinking, stop working to understand, stop interacting with the very difficult, tough, dirty, filthy, different (or any other adjective) ideas that are flowing around out there. We do not need to be further encouraged to turn inward. We need to turn outward, and yes, sometimes people who are not Christian say and do very true, beautiful, right things. In the same way, sometimes people who are Christian do very untrue, ugly, wrong, insipid, boring things. And vice versa. 07-03-2002 16:56 servantsteve Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 07-02-2002 Posts: 4,168 Location: Ole Virginny Thread Starter More of the SS story        I didn't mean to imply that all secular music was bad and all Christian music is good. In the 1979-1982 timeframe, I destroyed all my secular LPs with the exception of Hamburger Concerto by Focus and all my classical stuff. By 1994 or so, I was buying secular CDs by the dozen. Now I pretty much keep to Christian stuff, but I'm not destroying the secular stuff again. I don't see the need and it creates a disconnect in reasoning when compared to movie watching or other things. Now my mission is to find the ultimate Christian albums. I've got some that are fantastic and some that are so-so. I buy them voraciously- about 5-15 a month because I love 'em sooooo much. One thing I've noticed about music in general is that popular music is popular for a reason and it's not just because the public is so stupid they don't know any better. When I was in high school, I hated soul, Mo-town and disco music. Now, I can really get into old soul music, especially the Temptations (nice Christian name, huh?) Disco, well I may never like that but the Village people are fun if you're in the mood for it. Fringe groups are also fringe for a reason. Usually folks like me, with a twisted sense of humor, gravitate towards stuff off the beaten path. It's not always because it's good, it's because it's not boring and it gives a new, unexpected angle to everything. The problem with indie labels and fringe groups is that so many of them really are so bad no one should ever hear them. It's quite the paradox and it's the reason why I like to dabble in off track groups, then buy them like crazy when I find out that I like them. If I try the album you, the number 1 fans, like first, I can make an intellegent decision on whether TST and his bands are right for me. So far, the 30 second clips I've heard are splediforous. I look forward to more. Although I broke my rule and bid on the Swirling Eddies playing Sacred Cows, an album no one has listed as on their top TST list. __________________ This is where I put my signature. 07-03-2002 18:38 arcticsunburn Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 06-10-2002 Posts: 2,084 Location: Guitar; A way to express what words can't describe, and a moment of peace in a chaotic world. quote: Originally posted by jc GIT YER BUDDIES TOGETHER...
