“Chrindie 95” Archives

Circle of Dust’s songs dealt with sinful brokenness and divine agency.

But then along comes a band who gives praise to Jesus Christ, their Lord and Savior, and their new album is as mopey as can be.

Also: Peter Jackson and the “Hobbit” movies, engineers vs. programmers, and the impossibility of interstellar travel.

My latest “Chrindie ‘95” piece looks back on Circle of Dust’s self-titled debut and its place in Christian industrial music’s history.

Also: The elitism of the current technology boom, ‘Daredevil,’ Sufjan Stevens and broken love, and biblical hermeneutics with Terrence Malick.
