What, exactly, is on God's iPod?

Over the Rhine's new album came out today! And Todd came in and downloaded it for me from iTunes from his own fund. Way better than a dozen roses, that is for sure! Usually I have to have the CD in my hands to truly appreciate it- read the liner for about an hour, study all of the artwork....read the notes. This time, I just read the digital booklet which was actually just as beautiful and nothing was lacking in doing so, except the old fashioned feeling of holding a CD jacket in my hands ;)

Here's a little taste for you (by the way- you can listen to the album on their website, I'd recommend the into to "I Don't Want to Waste Your Time", the song "The Trumpet Child" and "If a Song Could be President"...just from the first listen) from the liner notes:

"We've been wondering about the sound of the trumpet in those old hymns- Is it real? Is it a metaphor? What, exactly, is on God's iPod? And me, my first memory, the sound of a trumpet at a tent meeting revival, I was sitting on my mother's lap. I remember that bright brass bell, that eggtooth blast waking me up, snapping the world into focus, piercing the womb of distant muffled things, stirring my conscious mind, the sound of a trumpet! and I remember the stage at the front of the tent, strings of bare lightbulbs, my sister Grace's braids, and me forming my first real thought: I need to be where the sound is coming from."

:) Just a small taste from the notes of Linford. I know you know how much I love Over the Rhine. Thanks for reading :)
