A bullet-pointed review from The New York Post yesterday.

Reviews Body Piercing Saved My Life today.

Pitchfork’s Zach Baron takes a whack at my book.

Tonight I’ll be a guest on the Mimi Geerges Show on XM. I believe you can listen to it online. Or, if you live in Richmond, Va., you can check it out Monday at 1 p.m. on WRIR.

UPDATE: The show isn’t broadcast live. You can figure out when to hear it here, and it’ll be on the website as well.

The family-friendly folks at Infodad.com reviewed my book. A fair review, but I would not suggest going toe-to-toe with me on who vs. whom.

James Stewart, a fine gentleman whom I really enjoyed meeting in Grand Rapids, reprises a blog post about my book for Catapult magazine. He quite rightly takes me to task for errors of detail (which I’ve tried to catalog here), but I’m not sure what he means about errors from the Festival of Faith and Music. I stand by my notes on that one, though I’ll happily correct anything I’m wrong about.

About me not understanding the language of David Dark: I’m not an academic, and while I consider it my job to learn to parse things I don’t understand (exhibit a: a book I wrote about Christian rock), I couldn’t make heads nor tails of the man’s speech. I encourage anyone interested, though, to download and listen to one of his talks and let me know if I’m just a dope. (I’m at work and don’t have my notes here, so I don’t know whether this was one of his keynotes or a workshop.) I also highly recommend the Stockman talk.

Laura Barcella interviewed me for Nerve.com. I love that she called David Bazan “super emo.” He is going to LOVE that. Incidentally, Bazan’s playing here in Washington, D.C., on Friday. He’s dropped the Pedro the Lion name and has “gone solo.”

Today I have an opinion piece about Christian rock on ABCNews.com. There’s also an excerpt of the book.

Patton Dodd reviews my book. My favorite part:

But the question persists, because in evangelical circles there’s a lot of chatter and concern over whether particular music is “Christian” or “secular.” Well—here’s a fool’s axiom: Both inside the parallel universe of Christian music and in every other universe, the only one who can make music Christian is Christ. No matter what we make of Bazan or Crowder, Rebecca St. James or Michael W. Smith, Mute Math or Newsboys—or, for that matter, U2, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Sufjan Stevens, and a million other acts—when we’re talking about music, we’d do well to remember our categories are too simple, too inflexible, and too earthy to contain the truth.

Lars, a metalish young man who seems to intern at NPR, and a commenter on the below post, enjoyed my reading last night. So to you, Lars, I tip a hornful of grog and bellow a hearty “Góða nótt!”
