For those who love the darker, harder side of electronic music, The Prodigy is offering their new single Invaders Must Die for free download on their website at theprodigytickets.com/download. The main hook is rather catchy and I think the sample from which the song takes its name is the Doctor Who villain Dalek. Might be a good song to run to for you runner friends.

Peep the embedded player for a preview of the goods.

In college I went to hear Michael Moore speak. Earlier in the year I heard Hillary Clinton. About a month ago I hear Shane Claiborne. My philosophy is if someone notable in any regard comes near me, I’ll go hear them speak. So get ready Raleigh for the Fire Conference with Benny Hinn!

The event’s free with pre-registration. I’m not sure what that makes the cost at the door (?), but I went ahead and pre-registered on his site for four people for the 7:00PM Friday session at the Progress Energy Center. That’s next Friday, August 29.

If other bloggers in the area read this and are planning on going, we should get a syncroblog going with after thoughts. Leave a comment showing your interest. If not, it’ll just be me!

You can download Phil Wickham’s latest album Singalong at his web site. The album features 15 songs recorded live and, honestly, creates a really nice chilled, acoustic, worshipful atmosphere…all for the cost of zero dollars. It’s got classics like Nothing But The Blood, Come Thou Fount, How Great Thou Art, I Have Decided To Follow Jesus and It Is Well With My Soul as well as songs I’ve grown to love like Messiah (cf. Phil Wickham – Messiah).

While the album is a free download after signing up for his newsletter (which is well worth it and a small thing to ask in exchange for free music), the files are 128kbps m4a, a format which might not play well on some computers and/or mp3 players. So, I converted the album to mp3 after I downloaded to make it slappable onto my mp3 player. Hopefully this isn’t a problem for anyone.

Thanks, Phil!
