Daniel Amos Message Board | Print: New CCM Lists.....

Posted by HEMISPHERICALHEADS on 06-27-2003 at23:00:

I emailed my local christian FM station to encourage them to play bands like DA , Larry Norman, 77s, The Throes , Prayer Chain , the list goes on and they responded with: "Our station is geared to an ADULT format."
What's that mean?
I'm 37 years old and if it were'nt for the bands I just mentioned plus many others my walk with Christ would be much more difficult. Whatever happened to that alternative Christian music magazine? I rememeber one year they sent me an issue at the release of "Speckled Bird" by THE CHOIR with them on the cover with paint on their faces, on a full glossy cover. It was not True Tunes or 7Ball. Brian Q. Newcomb was the editor. He does stuff for PASTE now...That was an awesome mag...

Yes.....There you go.....Awesome mag..I found out about it when I bought Keaggy's "Crimson And Blue" when it first came out. It had a mail in form to get the mag. Yes, I sent it in...It went under not too long after...Are there any other mags of a similar nature out there?

i've actually stopped looking for magazines since i've been online (yea, these many years) so I couldn't tell you. I did love syndicate and notebored was cool too, though I think i only read one or two issues of it before it too went under.

You know this subject is something that I have recently dealt with. I used to subscribe to CCM but I would get so aggravated about constantly reading about the new Christian version of "insert name of popular secular artist here" that I had to stop reading it. The only thing from that mag I enjoyed was John Fischer's articles.

I too miss the good old days of Christian Music, and I'm only 26. I wish that the Christian Market would use it's collective creativity do something different and innovative. I cringe everytime I see a new Christian Music Sampler that mimics the theme of whatever the popular movie of the summer is. It's sad really. But as it's been said, it is an industry and they are trying to make money.

I don't listen to CCM anymore. There could be good stuff out there but what I've heard doesn't seem to have the passion and artistry that I enjoy in music. I really admire indie artists. They don't make alot of money doing what they do, but their music means something.

So I will continue to listen to my old albums and buy anything that my favorite artists put out.

And Hey Theo, I too have discovered some great music from watching Scrubs. That show rocks.

There are plenty of Highly influential artist's who did not sell alot of records. "It takes time for great wine." I know what you were getting at though....

HEMI, have you heard "The Wacky Fan Letter"?

that's where the beatles line comes from...also all the dallas references. the wacky fan was from dallas.

"Horrendous Disc, A.
Please get this one out on CD as quick as possible and let me know about it. My record has a scratch. You sound like The Beatles, but keep in mind that The Beatles sold lots of records." Big Grin

me loves Scrubs, too.

One of my favorite shows was from their first season.....a Christmas show, where a young, pregnant girl leaves the hospital.............what happens is kind of cool. If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it for you, cuz maybe they'll repeat it. But it was a great show.

I adore the characters on that show........especially the "evil doctor"...........he's awesome Smile

how many da albums made the list of the 100 most influencial albums of all time (or whatever the name was) that CCM put out a few years back? Why have they suddenly fallen so far as to not make them important enough to buy now?

I'm from Southern IL, near St. Louis, MO. MN is quite a bit of a drive for me, but man I would love to see Mike and Terry at a BBQ. I was really bummed when they cancelled their St. Louis concert in May.

I love Scrubs, its a show that can make you hit the floor laughing out loud one minute and make you all choked up the next. I don't think I saw the Christmas episode. I will have to try and download it. (Kazaa has a bunch of episodes.)
