Two reviews
This weeks' print edition of Entertainment Weekly contains a review of Takk, the new album from Sigur Ros:
At times Takk almost rocks--as much as tiny ice-crystal elves from the magical land of Narnia can rock, but still. (A-)
The same issue also reviews the latest from Christian crossovers Switchfoot:
Their danger-free music seems the very definition of corporate rock. We'd call 'em the modern'day corollary to Styx, but we don't want to insult the latter band. (C-)
Give you two guesses as to which of these I have my eye out for at the public library.
So much for Christian artistry getting relevance in the mainstream marketplace.

*oligopistos - Greek, noun, "one of little faith." This is where you eavesdrop on my scribblings about my life in the Kingdom, the Church, the world and the theological academy.
