Continuing my recent trend of music recommendations, you can’t go wrong with the brilliant rock, ska-infused O.C. Supertones. A while back I picked up all their albums on iTunes, except greatest hits compilations, and stringing these guys together in one giant play-list makes for an epic listen.

Natalie Grant – Love Revolution
I’m surprised to find myself listening to Natalie Grant’s Love Revolution quite a bit. If you’ve heard her previous albums, like I have, and didn’t care too much for their sound, give this one a listen.

New Year’s Eve 2010
Goodbye, 2010, we hardly knew ye! Twenty-Ten has been a watershed year for me though I never really considered it like that before writing this.

Listen up, big media: Your downfall will come at your hands because of artificial limitations like this. People want your content and are willing to pay for it. You just have to get out of their way.
LiliAna Rose: There’s something special going on here.
Check out LiliAna Rose, a young folksy youtube phenomenon. There’s a certain special quality to her style, her voice and her delivery. There’s something quite refreshingly authentic about both herself and her music. She’s definitely not your overdone, teenie starlet, like so many pop acts these days. Her first release, Postage Stamp, was a short and sweet number of raw yet appropriately folksy, popsy music. Definitely check her out if you’re a fan of plain good old passionate singing, song writing and honest delivery. Her originals section on her youtube page is a treasure trove for decided fans, as well.

Audio Codecs – Enjoying Music vs The Audiophile Argument
In lossy compression formats, like mp3, aac, aac+, ogg, etc., everyone always tries a new format and listens extremely closely for audible quality problems. The problem here is how you listen to music normally and how you analyze music in detail.Everyone listens to music for enjoyment, not paying much attention to quality. But when it comes to thinking about an encoding format, everyone immediately becomes an audiophile and won’t let go of their high bit rate files.
The Mire of Miracles
Third Day’s song Carry My Cross has an interesting lyric: I’ve come here with a mission \ And soon I’ll give my life for this world \ I’m praying in the garden \ And I’m looking for a miracle.
