@ImCliffordToday If going with the Mountain Goats, my choice for dark lyrics/happy sound would be "No Children"

Foreign Object by The Mountain Goats

@inkofreality My reading issues (disorder?) strike again... I see Rua and my brain deciphers "Rick Cua". I'm like "Rick Cua is still putting out music??"

@ImCliffordToday Of course you would have to loose that final round to win... Actually that would be a good lesson to teach.

@SomeDoug Oh, that would be dope actually 😂

Call me Thomas, but I will believe it when I see it for myself

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

@inkofreality @JBay_AllTheWay re:think with the macromedia "bonus" cd-rom content. the Sarah Masen CD had the "Come In" music video on it. Charlie was pretty cutting edge at the time.

@SomeDoug @JBay_AllTheWay Yep. Then Squint, re:think, and Tattoo came along in the later '90s

There was nothing quite like Forefront Records 1994-1999. What a run. What a stable of artists releasing great albums. #CCMTwitter

@inkofreality @JBay_AllTheWay Don't forget Five Minute Walk and Brainstorm (the later folded into Word's "alternative" label WAL).

@JBay_AllTheWay The 90s in general. Tooth & Nail, Forefront, Reunion, StarSong, Sparrow. Top were T&N and ForeFront, but Reunion kept giving us MWS and gave us The Prayer Chain. Sparrow was SCC. StarSong gave us Newsboys.

@CalebTheSpy Is it wrong to say I'm familiar with this album because of Russ Taff? The cover of "The Cross" made me want to track down the original, which is equally powerful.

Sign o' the Times is the ninth album by Prince. It was released on March 30th, 1987. What do you appreciate about this album? #GoListenToThisRecord

@QHicks7 @Ineverglow @lastfm I've often thought about that myself (well, making something like that... ) not just for the charts, but also some kind of place for talking about Christian Music outside the K-Love and Air1 top 20 repeats.

@Ineverglow @lastfm Create one! I'm sure there is a way we can get it done.

@m_anthonyharris @Ineverglow @80sPastorDude I do software development, I can ask it if something can be done. It will go out and give me code that may or may not compile, probably do what I asked, but often not the most efficient way to do it. (much like my code when I was an intern)

@SomeDoug @Ineverglow @80sPastorDude That's actually a good way to put it.

Not gonna lie, A.I. kinda weirds me out. However, I did use it to help visualize the characters in this story I'm working on. It did an uncanny job of creating them based on my written descriptions.

@Ineverglow @80sPastorDude @m_anthonyharris AI = Artificial Intern. You ask it something, it does the research grunt work of scouring the web for answers, then gives you summary in a sycophantic manner. "Such a clever way to go about this.. (did I get the job?)"

@80sPastorDude @m_anthonyharris I’m not against AI for helping people think through things better. I’ve used it for that. But the replacing people’s jobs and trying to pass off as real music is scary to me.

@inkofreality @PetraReunion The "uncurdled" version had three "not safe for the Christian Bookstores" tracks: It's for you, The Stellazine Prophecies, and Sneakers.

@SomeDoug @PetraReunion Yeah, I have Crimson & Blue, Blue, and John the Revelator. I also have Safe as Milk on cassette, not sure about the uncurdled edition, however.

How's this for a beautiful 5x5 this week? #CCMTwitter @PetraReunion

@inkofreality @PetraReunion Keaggy's "Blue" (as compared to "Crimson and Blue" ) best CD I bought at The Wall. A good mix of the John the Revelator EP and the full LP. "Secular" editions of Christian CD's were always great finds back in the day. See also Mike Roe's Safe as Milk (the uncurdled edition).

@SomeDoug @PetraReunion I was listening to that Shawl CD in the truck yesterday. That Phil Keaggy album...top 5 album of all time. Sarah Mason, Fleming & John

Typing something I think is witty then erasing it and leaving this place holder because I have better things to do then defend myself when someone misinterprets what I say... (also known as, checking out of the social media rage uroboros and keeping my fool mouth shut).

So #CCMTwitter, found any good Christian Alternative Rock streams? Been listening to WAY-LOUD a lot, but wouldn't mind find a few others to switch between from time to time. (Prefer to lean more Alternative than Metal...)

@inkofreality Been a while since I've done one of these.... idk how we have a similar cd this week. (where did that kid come from, heard the song on Way Loud and kinda got hooked on the EP).

Friday 5x5, The Call, Matchbox 20, and Citizens run throughs. #CCMTwitter

Started my first LLM project (C# & llama 3). Testing to see how it reasons over structured DNA match data and a basic tree graph to predict relationship strengths based on shared DNA segments (and where unlinked matches are most likely to land on the tree). Will it work? TBD.

@CalebTheSpy Wish I could point to a track, but I liked their first two albums more. Safe and Sound is a masterclass album, and The Ship and The Sea makes me want to head to the shore for the weekend. This one, never could get into.

8 Track Tape by The Autumn Film was released Feb 7th, 2012, What do you appreciate about this album? #GoListenToThisRecord #CCMTwitter

#CCMTwitter Picked up a copy of Hoi Polloi's Happy Ever After at 2nd and Charles the other week. Not sure how I missed it the first time around but been really enjoying it... (another one of the 1995 Alt Christian Rock albums that gets missed with all the other great 1995 CDs)
