Bands or a worship team?

16 05 2008
The Doxologist blog from Mars Hill Church has a post on the question of whether larger churches are better served with groups of separate bands, instead of one larger worship team, as well as the issue of female leadership.

I’d disagree with their assessment of the role of female leadership in this context, but would agree that scripture does not specifically address the “worship leader” or “band leader” role. It just depends on what that role entails in our culture.

Astounded

28 04 2008

It’s hard to imagine a worse song than this. I have to admit, I’d never heard opera rap before.

New Songs

9 04 2008

Today one of our production guys asked for upbeat songs to use in the background of a church video. These are a few of the songs that I recommended - good stuff out there these days, some that friends had recommended to me.

Title, then artist, then album.

O For a Thousand Tongues - David Crowder - Remedy
Happy Day - Tim Hughes - Holding Nothing Back
Be Praised - Michael Gungor Band
Thank You for the Cross - Kathryn Scott - I Belong
At the Cross - Daniel Renstrom - Adore and Tremble

BPM for songs

20 03 2008

In preparation for having our team playing more regularly with click tracks, I’ve been checking out various programs that get the BPM for songs for you. Metronome operates as advertised, as does BPM Widget. They’re pretty standard metronomes, you can click along with a song. Two even more helpful programs have been BeaTunes and Tangerine, which go through your whole itunes library and figure out the beats per minute for you. I opened the demo of both, and had BeaTunes run my whole library. There’s debates on sites about how accurate they both are, but it seems like BeaTunes did pretty well.

If you regularly play with a click track, I’d love to hear what setup (computer/metronome/in-ear) you use.
