  1. Road Warriors

    September 7, 2008 by micah

    So… The needtobreathe concert last night was basically what I’ve been eagerly waiting for since I first saw them 2 years ago. They were simply awe inspiring. They played no fewer than 3 new songs slated to be on their next record, one I already have from a pre-release special needtobreathe had a while back, and all of them were great. I kind of wish their next album would be a live album, though. I’m afraid their new CD may be a slight let down after hearing so many of the new songs live, but I’m still excited about it either way. The opening acts for the night, Matthew Mayfield and Andy Davis, were both solid as well.

    Perhaps the funniest part of the night was that we spent the majority of the time tracking down one of the roadies for the band, instead of the band itself. The guy I went to the concert was on summer project with said roadie in Costa Rica for this past summer, and so this concert was largely a reunion for the two of them.

    I also got talked into going to DCF this morning instead of Crosspoint. I had told a lot of people that I would visit DCF soon, and they held me to it. It wasn’t quite what I expected and it was really good. I always like seeing new styles of church and worship. The only downside is that I now have to catch up on Crosspoint’s John series online. Something I’ll have to do again when I go visit North Point Community Church later this month.


  2. 3 Reasons Why needtobreathe is Awesome

    September 1, 2008 by micah

    1. 1) They sound incredible live.
      Where many bands falter, needtobreathe shines by sounding better live than they do on their records. They are great at adding to and remixing their songs so that you never can hear the same song done the same way twice at any show. Guaranteed… well, they don’t guarantee it, but still.
    2. 2) Their Lyrics are Magical
      Everything they write is well thought out and is an art in and of itself. Read them sometime. Not only that, but they churn out new material constantly. Not an easy task, I assure you.
    3. 3) They’re Local
      Not much to add here, except: who can’t love a band that comes from Possum Kingdom, SC!

  4. Haircuts and Internet

    August 25, 2008 by micah

    I hate haircuts. Plain and simple. In 20 & 1/2 years of living, I’ve had maybe 3 that I’ve been happy with. After my haircut today, I think I’m going to create a document or something outlining exactly what I want with photographic examples and such. Maybe then I can start getting consistent cuts. Oh well…

    On another note, I finally have internet in my apartment. I never realized how much I did relied on the internet until I had to walk to the library in order to use it.

    Wow… what a night! The opening Campus Crusade meeting absolutely rocked. What a way to kick off the year. I think God has some big things in store for us this year!

    Here’s what the band played, in case you’re interested:
    You Never Let Go - Kristian Stanfill
    Rejoice – Chris Tomlin
    Blessed Be Your Name - Matt Redman
    Everlasting God – Chris Tomlin

    On a side note: my brother won an iPod touch at one of the welcome back events at Clemson. How crazy is that?!
