Can anyone say the word "cacao" without squawking it like a bird? If so, how?

@ucancmysox @musicphanatic I dunno man, you're the one trying to argue they have no musical lineage, but like I don't know what you're expecting from a pop-rock band. They're quite obviously influenced by Nirvana and other 90s alt-rock groups.

@EmceeDragon @musicphanatic Ok. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to take from that lol

I like a couple of Switchfoot songs, but they are a band without any real musical principles. Vote for Relient K

@ucancmysox @musicphanatic I think earlier work had some surf rock influences - less so as time went on

@EmceeDragon @musicphanatic Do they actually have surf rock influences, or are they just guys who surf and are also in a band?

@ImCliffordToday @SavageKylan @CalebTheSpy @allastud I'm pretty sure Caleb is a fairly reluctant participant here so I doubt it would take much arm twisting on Kylan's part to replace him hahaha

@SavageKylan @EmceeDragon @CalebTheSpy @allastud But then it wouldn’t be a four-part harmony…

Announcement: @CalebTheSpy, @ImCliffordToday, @allastud and I are forming an acapella Underoath covers group called 'A Boy Brushed Red, Singing in 4-part Harmony'.

@ucancmysox @musicphanatic They're a post-grunge, pop-rock band with some surf rock influences. And they do it pretty well. I don't think they need to necessarily do something that nobody else does to be taken seriously.

@musicphanatic @EmceeDragon They are just too chameleonic for me. Outside of Jon's voice, do they have any throughlines across albums? What musical lineage do they belong to? What do they do that nobody else does? They have songs I like, just never been all in on them. Open to having my mind changed

@CalebTheSpy @SavageKylan @ImCliffordToday @allastud I think we already achieved that? Haha

@SavageKylan @EmceeDragon @ImCliffordToday @allastud Next order of business.

@SavageKylan I'm definitely hoping for a RelientClay final 2

Every tournament has an iconic tweet. This year, this is it

@jwsherrod I play this song nearly every time I lead. It slaps.

This morning on the way to church I thought to myself that one day I’ll play “Glorious Day” in church for the last time. Hope that wasn’t today, because I love this song. That’s me on bass:

@Ineverglow All bangers

Here’s the playlist I’ve been working on of all the songs I rate at a 4.5 or 5, for anyone interested. I plan to keep adding to it every time I hear a new song that fits my criteria. This is a very subjective list of my *favorite* songs. open.spotify.com/playlist/3PGQ2…

@allastud @ImCliffordToday @CalebTheSpy @UnderoathBand

@ImCliffordToday @EmceeDragon @CalebTheSpy @UnderoathBand It was!

Just had a sweet convo with @EmceeDragon & @ImCliffordToday on @CalebTheSpy’s Podcast talking @UnderoathBand

@JBay_AllTheWay Yup plus Dead Poetic, Project 86, Further Seems Forever, MeWithoutYou and Showbread. Huge year for Tooth & Nail.

@EmceeDragon What’s your case for 2004? Off the top I got Underoath, Relient K…

Was 2006 the best year of Christian Music in the 2000s? #CCMtwitter open.substack.com/pub/joshbalogh…

@matterbrown @stephenvstrex This is wild to me.

@stephenvstrex @EmceeDragon I know it's not popular, but I'm at: 1) Illusion of safety 2) artist in the ambulance 3) 4) 3 & for 4 go back & forth between Beggars and To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere... but if I'm being totally honest Beggars sometimes competes to be my number one...

yesterday, i was talking to my favorite kiwi, @emceedragon and i did this list a few years ago but thought i’d give it another go since we talked about thrice. without further ado: my thrice albums ranked that nobody asked for vhessiu major/minor the artist and the ambulance the alchemy index to be everywhere is to be nowhere beggars horizons / west illusions of safety horizons / east palms identity crisis

@tinyurltweets @stephenvstrex You don’t rate horizons west? I think it’s their best since to be everywhere?

@stephenvstrex @EmceeDragon mine is probably: beggars vheissu the artist and the ambulance to be everywhere is to be nowhere the alchemy index major/minor the illusion of safety ... late period and identity crisis

@PleaseBearW_Me @20th_Centurygal

@20th_Centurygal Aaron Gillespie and it’s not close

Who is your favorite singing drummer?

@stephenvstrex @benjikunz I don’t split up The Alchemy Index. I see it as one project. I wouldn’t want to rank those albums individually.

@benjikunz @EmceeDragon if i was to split up the alchemy index vhessiu major/minor fire/water the artist and the ambulance to be everywhere is to be nowhere beggars horizons / west air/earth illusions of safety horizons / east palms identity crisis

@stephenvstrex For me, it’s something like: Vheissu The Alchemy Index TBEITBN Major/Minor Artist Horizons West Horizons East Beggars Palms Illusion of Safety Identity Crisis
