For Lent

I have given up, music, or more specifically all the music I own. so for one mont I won't turn on an Ipod, or the stereo, or the computer programs and listen to music I own. If I own it I don't hear it. yes that includes music radio as well.

To make this interesting I am inviting people to give me music they think I should hear for the month. If you know me or even if you don't e-mail me or give me music I should hear.

I have decided to read, Untold stories by Alan Bennett.
I got this book at christmas and I should read it.
I have heard it is fantastic so i will give it a crack.

what about you?

Have you heard of Brian Houston? He is a christian singer described as a cross between Bob Dylan, Bruce Springstein and Van Halen.

His website is http://www.brianhouston.com/.

Wow, giving up music for Lent . . . that would be difficult. I love Rilo and Cat Power. How about Neko Case? I'm listening to her brand new album and loving it.
