Sunday Morning Music: Menomena

(Oops! I had this scheduled for this morning, but I forgot to click something, so it didn’t happen.)

Don is off on some super awesome adventure right now, so he asked me to fill in on Sunday Morning Music.

Menomena is a band from Portland, Oregon. And I mean really from Portland, since they all grew up there. The Blue Like Jazz movie was scored by their drummer, Danny Seim, so it features many of their songs. If you’ve seen the film’s trailer, you’re already familiar with “Muscle ‘n’ Flo”.

They are also, for my money, the best band in America right now. I realize maybe they’re not for everyone, but they should be, doggone it. Here’s “Rotten Hell” and “Tithe” off Menomena’s last two albums.

    Excellent recommendations–just downloaded both albums :) Inspiration for NaNo? Hmmm… I’ll let you know on Nov. 29th if it worked :) Thanks!

    Menomena has got to be one of my favorite bands. It’s too bad that Brent Knopf left to create Ramona Falls, but I’m sure if they release another album it will be great, just a bit different.

    I do christian rap music and this is a ministry. This ministry is a tool that is reaching lost souls.People are getting saved as well as through Christian Rock country ECT.. People are being led to Christ. Why try t pick logs out of peoples eyes when you got a big cedar tree in yours. Just sayn. No one is perfect but we are covered in the Blood of Christ. WHich means we are right in Gods eyes. I could pick on alot of ministries they aint doing this right and that right but truth is we will never do anything right. We have been screwing up since the Begining of Time. Judging one another and this aint right with him or her. Ya know what what about you and i what about our ministries what flaws do i have in mine or you have n urs. To compare Christian messengers to Worldly artists is stupid. Kingdom messengers are nothing Like Worldly LOL. We are dead to what they love and appreciate. NUFF SAID.
