We’re on tour right now, and we sometimes have these question and answer sessions before the shows with people. One question that consistently comes up is what I’m listening to/watching/reading… So for those of you who care about such things, here are some things I’ve been enjoying lately:

Music:

Punch Brothers–Who’s Feeling Young
The Brilliance–Lent
Rachmaninoff–piano concerto No 2
Gorecki–Symphony of Sorrowful Songs
Eric Whitacre- When David Heard

Books:

The War of Art– Steve Pressfield
God-the World’s Future– Ted Peters
The Orthodox Heretic— Peter Rollins
Old School–Tobias Wolf

Movies:

Tree of Life
The Hunger Games (books were better, but I still enjoyed it)
Another Earth
Chronicle

I would also like to mention our friends over at Blue Like Jazz whose new movie comes out today! I’m not normally a fan of “Christian” movies, but Blue Like Jazz does a good job avoiding a lot of those sorts of trappings. It is pretty entertaining, and It’s worth checking out. You can get tickets at www.bluelikejazztickets.com

Ok, well I guess that could occupy you for a few hours. You guys have any recommendations for me? Especially in the music scene… I could use some new music.
