Steven Curtis Chapman's "Beauty Will Rise"
Growing up, I was a big fan of Steven Curtis Chapman. His songwriting, singing, and guitar playing were all influential on me. I was so sad to hear about the tragedy he faced last year.I have been amazed at the strength of the Chapmans in the months that have followed the death ,and after listening to "Beauty Will Rise" all I can say is wow.
Steven Curtis put his whole heart into this new album. The entire project is about losing his little girl and learning to live without her. And yet is filled with the hope that only Christ can provide and the faith that one day he will see her again.
Go here and listen to "Beauty Will Rise" in its entirety.

I often find Yahoo Answers hilarious.
Your teacher lied to you. There IS such a thing as a stupid question.
99% of the time you can find the answer to any question by simply looking it up on Google. Maybe that's why there are so many stupid questions on Ask Yahoo.

FYI: The plural of lie is "lies".

Why does WSMV force NBC's widescreen shows to fullscreen?
I just wrote the following letter to Nashville's NBC affiliate WSMV 4.
To whom it may concern:
Why does WSMV force all of its widescreen shows (SNL, The Office, Heroes, The Tonight Show, etc) to full screen?
When you force widescreen to full screen you cut off a portion of the picture. A few weeks ago, I was watching Saturday Night Live and the sketch involved two actors sitting across from each other at a long table. Neither of the actors could be seen in the frame because the program had been forced to full screen!
The vast majority of people are used to widescreen because of the DVD industry. So, people are used to the black bars at the top and bottom.
Why does channel 4 do this?
Sincerely,
Eric Coomer
I'll let you know when and if they write back.
Music Video for the Week of Halloween: Monogrenade - "Ce Soir"
Unlike French bands Phoenix, Beirut, and even Daft Punk, Monogrenade actually sings in French. Here is their video "Ce soir". It seemed appropriate for Halloweek as it seems they are in a haunted underwater house. It looks better (as all videos do) here on Vimeo but was not embeddable (I have no idea why bands/labels would ever do that).

DVD Trailer for the Week of Halloween - Event Horizon
Event Horizon is one of the most frightening films I've ever seen. It's almost always miscategorized as sci-fi, but this film is horror in the vein of the Alien movies. Before Laurence Fishburne was the captain of The Nebuchadnezzar in The Matrix trilogy, he piloted the The Lewis & Clark on an expedition to find lost ship The Event Horizon. Turns out The Event Horizon is haunted and all they want to do is get off.
If you're looking for a truly scary psychological thriller for the week of Halloween, Event Horizon (also starring Sam Neill, Joely Richardson, and Richard T. Jones) truly delivers.
