A Second Blog!

    Let me start by saying, don't worry, this blog isn't going anywhere. However, in the interest of keeping topics separate I have started a new blog! My ministerial blog can be found at: Pastor Burton's Blog and the first post is up! Exciting times for me. Yay! Now of course, I also have the podcast: Healing Scars with Pastor Burton | RSS.com and it's updated weekly! So to start the blog content is different from the podcast post. Specifically what's there isn't recorded anywhere else, or in any other format. For now. I am thinking about also transcribing the podcast and posting it there as well. 

    Decisions, decisions. If I did do that, it would be bonus content of sorts. The messages I've already recorded, plus the blog posts that haven't been recorded. Hmm? Thoughts? Anyone? So much on my mind to reach out to the world. Anyways, short and sweet. 

Thanks,

New Blog, Music, and Kudos

Hello kiddies, Crypt Keeper Burt is in!

Here's my first blog on Blogger. It only makes sense to start anew here since I use a lot of Google products. Sadly Opera isn't what it once was. So hello, hi, welcome, how you doin, nice to meet you, etc, etc, etc.

For my first blog here I'm going to tip my toe into the realm of something everyone loves, and nobody hates, MUSIC. No, that wasn't your dog howling, it was my weak attempt at singing. Yeah, I just sang MUSIC.

So I listen to a bit of this and that. I won't say I listen to everything, because lets face it, there's some music that people's individual tastes just don't cater to. One of the many forms I like is in nufolk. And one of the very few people that has really impressed me quickly is +LIZZY SPIT. This Aussie has staying power. Her sound reminds me of Suzanne Vega (Tom's Diner style) mixed with Aimee Mann (solo career) and the lungs of Stevie Nicks. The woman crawls through your eats, and pulls at emotions that leave you fulfilled when you get off the roller coaster she takes you through. And if that wasn't enough, she reaches out to her fans and actually interacts in way, that so few artists actually do today. She exercises a very personal touch that you only find with independent artist today such as Curt Yagi.

Up until recently there have only been three groups in the past decade that have really gotten to me. Psycothermia (formerly Canobliss), Curt Yagi & the People Standing Behind Me, and now I can happily insert some girl power in the form of Lizzy Spit. You're awesome Lizzy, keep up the great work.

So that's it for now kiddies. Go listen to +LIZZY SPIT pick some strings and hypnotize you with her voice.
