My blog post has more on this 2026 album, plus links to listen on streaming services: da-man.com/blog/202603/al…

Album Of The Day: What A Time To Be Alive by The Lone Bellow Released just over a month ago, this is the 6th album from this folk rock, alt-country band. This is an excellent collection of new songs. This three-piece group has excellent harmonies & a unique musical style I love.

@JBay_AllTheWay @HoveringLadle Most of the covers I recognize, and I think most of them I may have listened to once. I will make sure I listen to each album before I vote if I can.

@deliriousguy @HoveringLadle It’ll be a great adventure if you decide to dive in!

These are the 64 albums the #CCMTournament2026 If you could only keep 8, but they have to be a straight 8 like tic tac toe, what are you keeping? #CCMTwitter

@HoveringLadle @JBay_AllTheWay I don’t even think there’s a set of 8 there where I’ve listened to all the items in that set.

@deliriousguy @JBay_AllTheWay Dan, dooooo itttttt

Now do Andy Weir’s “Artemis” in a movie. I want to see the moon colony.

I got to see “Project Hail Mary” tonight and I loved it. Funny, touching, and an epic space adventure. Check it out!

If you don't want the cool packaging and bonus features that are on the DVD, you can watch it for free on YouTube: youtu.be/pOtZo1nrTmg?si…

My blog post has more on this 2005 DVD that is long out of print: da-man.com/blog/202603/co… #CCMTwitter?

Concert Film Of The Day: Burn The Fields by The Elms Released 21 years ago today, this is the first concert DVD released by the rock band. It captures really well the unbridled energy & infectious rock 'n' roll spirit of this band. They sound excellent & the visuals are decent.

@CalebTheSpy I do think it’s the only version of the artwork on streaming. And well, it’s not a huge change. Just me being very pedantic.

@deliriousguy Oh!

Kansas is the first major label album by Jennifer Knapp. It was released March 16th, 1998. What do you appreciate about this album? #GoListenToThisRecord #CCMTwitter

@chrisunthank He won Actor in a Leading Role did Mystic River. That was a pretty good film, and loved by the Academy types.

Sean Penn has three Oscars? Gross.

All joking aside, such a beautiful tribute to the great Rob Reiner. #Oscars

Can Billy Crystal insert himself into every film or do a musical number? #Oscars Oh, he did that a few decades ago?

On the other hand, should the Oscars remove the Animated categories? Maybe yes.

I love that the #Oscars has an award for casting. As a fan of film, it’s why we watch the Oscars; to see the people who make the movie get their minutes of fame.
