I Am Living: Aaron Gillespie from Come&Live! on Vimeo.
If you’ve been wondering why he left the band and what God’s doing in his life, this is apparently a big part of the story. The more I check out Come&Live!, the more I love what they’re doing.

Making Malorie T-Shirt Design
These are two different shirts that I recently designed for my 2nd favorite worship band* – sorry guys, I’m still a die-hard Charlie Hall guy, but MM rocks! The concept was to make kind of an old school team mascot shirt, but with a little bit of a twist since we added the scientific name for each animal. Fun project! Look for these shirts this Summer anywhere MM is playing.

No commentsExcited: I Love Underoath
It will be interesting to see what the album sounds like with Aaron Gillespie not involved, but Underoath is the best hardcore / heavy / emo / screamo / whateverthehecktheyare band around in my opinion.

No commentsListening for the Day: I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA
Hey everyone,
I’ve been in a blogging mood the last few days, so the content and the thoughts may appear a bit more often on here, at least until this mood wears off.
If haven’t yet heard of Come and Live, you should definitely check it out. In there own words, Come and Live is a non-profit devoted to: “proclaiming the good news of Jesus. By joining hands with artists {musicianaries}, we provide them with guidance, direction and accountability to model a life of genuine faith. Our focus is in promoting the only true enduring treasure – loving others and living like JESUS. We choose to share music and profit as a humble example of radical generosity. We live simply to give generously, encouraging others to do the same. Our prayer is that God would use us to Give. Love. Share. and Revive (http://comeandlive.com/aboutus).”
The long and the short of it is, there is some pretty amazing music on Comeandlive.com for free, and these artists really care about promoting the Gospel. Pretty rad!!!
My current favorite from their site is a band called I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA. If you’re into Underoath or The Devil Wears Prada, this is right up your alley. I love it, perfect music for doing design work.

No commentsMusic Review: Passion Awakening
I’ve been to quite a few Passion events since my first experience in 2000 in Memphis TN. Back then I was just a sophomore in college, awakening to the idea of a big God with big plans. God has been pleased to use Passion again and again to renew my heart and vision for God. Though I’m no longer in college, I’ve been able – in one way or another – to continue to attend events and bring others with me. Passion 2010 was especially moving for me because I got to attend with both my brothers (one a sophomore in college and one a college minister) and my beautiful wife Magen. We’re all still reveling in what God was pleased to accomplish in our lives as His word and glory were lifted high in Atlanta.
The new Passion album comes out March 9th, but you can preview the whole album for free right now on Yahoo Music. The album features songs by: Charlie Hall, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder Band, Christy Nockles, FEE, Kristian Stanfill, and Hillsong UNITED. I’ve listened to it all day, and the album goes far beyond serving as a simple reminder of good memories from a few months ago. It’s a great album that helps stir my soul towards God. My favorite tracks are: King of Heaven (Isaiah 61), Where the Spirit of the Lord is, Awakening, Like a Lion, and With Everything. The whole album sings with fresh vision for the church and the collegiate generation. I’m especially impressed with Chris Tomlin’s writing on this album (which may sound trite to say, but I’m honestly more of a Charlie and Crowder fan). Tomlin’s songs are just rock-solid and encouraging on this album. I’m really excited that Louie Giglio and team decided to end the cd with a track by Hillsong UNITED! I had feared that Hillsong would fail to make it due to licensing issues. The Hillsong concerts during the event were some of the most moving moments during Passion 2010, and I welcome their song to conclude the album.
I suppose this isn’t really a music review so much as it’s an encouragement for you, the reader, to grab the album when it comes out Tuesday. In the mean time check it out for free on Yahoo.
Thanks again Passion for pointing fresh generations of college students towards the glory of God!

No commentsThe Steeple EP – Making Malorie
I got to hear the final mastered version of the Steeple EP by Making Malorie today. It’s a 3 song EP featuring original songs: Victory, Child of Ruin, & On and On. Now, my opinion about their latest offering is obviously prejudiced because I know the band, and they lead worship at 24church, and I created the artwork, but either way this is a great piece of art. These thoroughly Biblical songs get into your bones and stick, and I’m always impressed by a worship band who is forging their own path musically. I’m blessed to get to serve with these guys. The Steeple EP isn’t online yet, but you can drop them a message or email at makingmalorie.com and I’m sure they’ll send you a copy when the disk drops.

The whole scavenger hunt for this album ended on Friday, July 3 in Nashville. Apparently multiple authorized and unauthorized versions of SS are on the way, some as soon as Tuesday via Derek Webb’s site. Here is a quick review by a fan who’s heard the album all the way through:
