| I like a lot of bands, but
The Church has over the years, I think, become my favorite. For those of
you who may remember the song 'Under the Milky Way", yes, those guys
are still around. In fact, they never went away and have been making great
music now for twenty years. They have several new cds out, with their
latest effort "A Box of Birds" being a cover album with lots of
great songs on it by everyone from the Beatles to Iggy Pop. I recommend it
for the curious but would also recommend their most recent original
release "Hologram of Baal". I picked it up on the same day I
bought REM's "Up" album, and while "Up" was a
disappointment, "HOB" played like a old friend. It has a warm,
fuzzy, surrealism to it that has always been part of what I've liked about
the Church. Anyway, here are some links for any of you who might be
interested in this great band. |
