The Rapture

i didn't mean to take 2 months OFF from posting at this here blog. i have just had lots of stuff happening in the real world with family and work and sickness and death and taxes too. stuff like that. plus, i started another blog.

or... maybe a better excuse would be that i was getting ready for the glorious rapture to take me away on may 21st. and so there would be no need for further blogging. but that is crazy talk because bills are still due for those of us left on Earth. seriously tho, it is really too bad that the whole "end of the world" thing didn't happen, or got postponed, or whatever. i was looking forward to seeing less traffic on the road. if you wanna know more about the new revised end of the world schedule, click here.

actually, i was way ahead of everyone else because i believed in The Rapture ( site / blog /  myspace / wiki ) years ago. the band, that is. and for a while i thought i may have been the only one. when i saw them described as "dance-punk", i knew had to hear them. the first thing i heard by them was Echoes. i immediately liked their original sound with the psyched-out guitar, great bass lines and the funky groove. then i bought their third album Pieces of the People We Love on CD when it came out. i loved it. it was a very upbeat, cheery, and fun record but not as edgy as the last one. then after that, the band seemed to just fade away. i once called them "the Best Band You Don't Love Yet". that may be true for some of you out there. so if you are overcome with the power of the spirit, just have a little faith and give one of these videos a play. it might not quite be a religious experience, but i dare you not to dance...

need a Savior? how about someones sister? ....

count David Letterman as a believer.....

everyone just wants to be loved. saxophone helps...

sometimes when you can't find what you're looking for you just have to keep trying ....

how is "The Devil" involved in all of this?....

in 2007, The Rapture was worshiped at Coachella.....




here is a fan-made video by some girls who feel the spirit deep down in their souls...



 

those who believed in the magical return of Jesus and the end of world might be disappointed now that nothing happened on may 21. but for those of us who really believe in The Rapture there is reason to rejoice because the band has been resurrected. they made a big announcement a few days after the world didn't end. a new album is on the way! the album will be coming out in september and is called In The Grace Of Your Love. bless their souls for releasing the music before the end of the world in october. i hope i live long enuff to witness the rapture .....release a new album.
