Geez issue 11 is out now

Go down to wherever you buy your progressive Canadian Christian publications (or, OK, order it) and pick up a copy of Geez magazine's eleventh issue. I wrote a piece about Christian dance music (in a broad sense -- it's mostly about Justice, U.S.E., and Family Force Five) which I named, in a fit of cleverness, "Dance Dance Revolution." It looks like they went with a title that they took from one of the sentences in the piece - "Ass-shaking Great Awakening." I like that too. The issue also features pieces from Carl Wilson, Chuck Klosterman, and other very talented writers.

UPDATE to Ryan, Melody, and anyone else: maybe this will explain. Note that I said Christian "in a broad sense."Surely Justice is nothing if not aesthetically Christian.

Is Justice really christian? I thought it was kind of a joke...

I'm going to see them tomorrow!

JUSTICE is a Christian band? Not that it should matter, but I haven't felt this weird about liking a group since I bought an Emery CD.

Oh, you guys.

do you find that your editors change a lot of stuff like that without you asking? or is it a rare event?

oh yeah, it happens all the time. Doesn't bother me.
