Thank God for bike helmets and 14 year olds who are not too cool to wear them. We are in the ER with a very concussed boy. Hoping for the best although I am one stressed parent.
If you are the praying type, please pray it's just a normal old concussion.

"Let It Snow, Baby... Let It Reindeer" by Relient K
It's a wonderfully fun Christmas album. Relient K has the right amount of rock and pop to pull this off.

This week we talk about Christian ska. So of course we talk about The Supertones Strike Back, the BIGGEST record of the 90s Christian ska era. The album peaked on both Billboard's Heatseekers and Top Christian Albums charts at No. 3 and No. 2 respectively

Filling up his arms with flowers right for giving any queen

To the people wondering how the stupid ska band won the CCM tournament. An hour after they win news broke of another school shooting and the lyrics from one more 5Fe song became increasingly more relevant.

No release anniversaries today but the self titled release by Philmore was released sometime in June of 2000.
They were an interesting mix of punk and glam rock.
"Our Finest Hour" and the cover of Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer" are absolutely great.
