Blogging Procrastination & Mormon Bands

 Ok. I really will do a legitimate update about all of our recent shenanigans. I'm just a little overwhelmed by the prospect of it, that's all. I'm sure I'll get over it soon. In the meantime, I read a cool article recently about a band that I've been digging. Is that even what the kids are saying these days? "Digging"? I'm feeling like a very un-hip 27 year old. Dang it.

Anyway, this new band. I don't know how I stumbled upon their music because their style is a little different from the stuff I usually listen to. But I liked their sound and their lyrics. Today I read an article on the band's drummer, Elaine Bradley. I'm not in a rock band.  I know you're all surprised what with my cool Old Navy clothes and polka dot headbands.  Heck, I'm not even good at playing Rock Band.  But I related to some of her sentiments on learning to be honest with oneself, with God, and embracing the opportunity to explore one's passions without exploring the murky waters of a valueless world.

I don't idolize the members of the band or necessarily want to put them on a poster for Mormon role models (I don't know if anyone would want to be on that poster). But I respect their desire to pursue their love for music without simultaneously perusing the isles of alcohol, sex, and drugs. I like this band. Even if their lead singer's hair is obnoxious.
