Music Wednesday: King Charles

May 16, 2012 — 0 Comments

I tweeted a LOT about this band last week when my friend introduced them to me. I have to admit that I’m obsessed with King Charles and their first full-length album. They’ve released two EPs in the last couple of years, but this was the first I’ve heard of them and I’m glad I did!

Loveblood

Every track on this album is amazing. The instrumentation is perfect, the lyrics are very original and catchy, and it’s an overall fun album.

And he already has six music videos that are stunning.

Listen once on Spotify, then go buy this album on iTunes and put it on repeat. When you get home, play it as loud as you possibly can.

New(ish) music: “The Head and the Heart”

July 19, 2011 — 0 Comments

Thanks to Scott McClellen for introducing me to “The Head and the Heart” in his blog post last night. Their bio has this to say about them:

Their music pulses effervescently—both explosively danceable and intuitively intelligent. With Americana roots and strong vocal harmonics that swell like a river, this band finds its anchor in solid songwriting that has even the jaded humming along by the second listen.

Book Review: “The Jesus Inquest”

March 13, 2011 — 0 Comments

“The Jesus Inquest” is in interesting concept and format for a book. Written by Charles Foster (“Writer, barrister, tutor in medical law and ethics at the University of Oxford, and a Fellow of Green Templeton College. He has written, edited, or contributed to over thirty books…” –back cover author bio), “The Jesus Inquest” immediately establishes that this isn’t going to your typical book about whether Jesus was real or not. This book is about the most popular (absurd, logical, plausible, and religious) views on whether the death, burial and resurrection of Christ happened.

The book is laid out with Foster acting as both “Witness X” and “Witness Y”. “Witness X” aims to essentially discredit the Christian view of the Gospels’ accounts of Jesus’ death and resurrection, and “Witness Y” is essentially an apologist arguing the Christian view and having to bear the burden of proof to the validity of the Christian view. In court, “Witness X” would be the prosecution, simply tasked with casting doubt and “Witness Y” acting as the defense and having to prove “beyond a shadow of a doubt” the facts and arguments laid out.

My first chiropractor

September 4, 2010 — 0 Comments

A couple weeks ago I visited a chiropractor for the first time. I had no idea what to expect, and honestly, I’ve always kind of viewed chiropractic medicine as a bit of a “quack” science. I thought “aren’t they just cracking my back and neck? I can do that on my own.”

Well, it turns out it’s a little more complex than that. Yes, they do a lot of back cracking (which is my favorite part so far), but a chiropractor is really targeting ligaments that pull bones–specifically the spine and neck–into place and getting those ligaments to pull with equal force from all directions to keep things lined up. The chiropractor also targets bone positioning to maintain proper spine and neck curves and bone alignment.

The chiropractor that I’m seeing performs an initial review that includes x-rays of the neck and spine as well as an electronic scan of the back that provides better detail about each bone in the neck and spine as well as the ligaments pulling on each vertebra.
