Cool/Damp
So after reading in Daniel this morning I was in a very Sigur Ros mood. Their soothing dissonance always sparks my imagination.
So to find their music I turn to the web and what do I find? Well, first I watch a video of theirs that features happy children and strange but rather cool cinematography. But then the video switches over and focuses on some people running around in gas masks so that kinda weirded me out.
Then I found an appearance that they made on the Craig Kilborn show. They are a bunch of emo looking kids. I guess that wasn’t too much of a surprise. But then the lead singer/guitarist pulls a Jimmy Page and picks up a violin bow and gentle makes his guitar hum. I must admit that after I got over the cheesiness that it did sound cool.
Anyway that’s my Sigur-morning.

Hi Everyone,
I was just surfing the web and stumbled on this page by accident almost. I am the son of a Great Commission pastor here in KC; but I was wondering if any of you knew where I could get ahold of old Jim McCotter sermon cassette tapes from the early 1970s and 80s? A friend and myself are trying to convert good sermons of various preachers we know from cassettes to CDs and he is on the list. Any help would be appreciated.

Seth- go to http://www.stonebrook.org/media/tape/newsearch.asp and search for Jim McCotter and you will come up with over 100 tapes or so.
