I want to like more Christian music. Really, I do. It's just that so much of it is so...lame. Bless their hearts, they try, but so many bands or singers are weak, to put it charitably.

So imagine my surprise when I found not one, not two, but three decent Christian bands recently. Mostly broken up, of course, but still good: Calibretto 13, Supertones, and The W's (no relation). Both the Supertones and the W's are ska bands, but here's my fave - "The Devil is Bad":

I've been on a Lent retreat (no, really) for the past couple of days, so I am feeling both totally worn-out and blissfully spiritual. It's too soon to post anything about the whole wonderful experience, so here's something else almost as good as Catholicism: a video from Maximum the Hormone, the greatest band since Nirvana and hide, doing "Zetsubou Billy", the song from the closing credits to 'Death Note'. Dude, you rock!
