Old Fart Finally Eats World...and Gets Ghost

I can't live with or without out music..
but I am an old fart, and not as in touch with all the stuff I need to be..
that's why I need resourcers like

• Paste ,
• fellow old fart Rev. Ellis Reed,
• Keltic "Another Pint" Ken
• Facebook, MySpace, Patrol, Crossrhythms, Tollbooth, Pitchfork, Popmatters etcccccccc
• Pastor Laurie West and Alice
  
• St. Ryan of Europe (now praying in the Black Forest, soundtracked to Sara McLaughlin)
  
• and St. Ryan Townsend.

Man,if it weren't for Ryan Townsend, I wouldn't have likely have heard of, or pursued:

• Myriad's "With Arrows, With Poise"
• Matthew Ryan
• the dualism-dueling "Soul Meets Body"

..let alone Ryan's overdubbing band

And if might not have even met Ryan if it weren't for Facebook.
(And it was the other St. Ryan who got me on Facebook!

So..

One band I have been meaning to check out is:

Jimmy Eat World.

I know you are laughing, Ryan.
Both Ryans.

Yeah, I also finally caught up with Wilco, another "new" band(:
I just got their Ghost..used.

All ghosts are.

Anyway...

I remember that David Crowder mentions Jimmy Eat World as an influence/favorite. A bit of research shows some debate as to whether they are Christians..debate the band intentionally won't definitively solve.

How cool (and C.S.) is that.

How about this song, "A Praise Chorus," which cleverly references ("drawing a fish in the sand"? or tossing a bone to believers?) "Crimson and Clover," which is basically Tommy James' conversion testimony....let alone addressing "Davey" (THAT David?)




And what a resource Fabchannel is, whole concerts on video. Here's a whole Jimmy gig:
