R.E.M.: Accelerate CD/DVD
Athens' own return with a trashy cool offering - their most consistent album in years. I think they're mad at their dad or something (****)
The Rolling Stones: Shine a Light: Original Soundtrack
This is what a live album SHOULD sound like. Unedited, unfixed - just a good recording of what happened that night... (****)
Mudcrutch: Mudcrutch
Tom Petty and Mike Campbell reunite with their old band and forge an instant classic. (****)
Counting Crows: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings
It was pretty gutsy to lay it out the way they did: all the rockers on the "Saturday Night" section and all the ballads on the "Sunday Morning" side. But it works, and in a major way. Some of the best guitar work I've heard in recent memory. (*****)
The Black Crowes: The Lost Crowes
WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS RECORD?! You've heard most of these songs on other records, but it's just so raw and band-y here. Fall in love with the best band in the world all over again... (*****)
Pillar: For The Love Of The Game
So far this is the album to beat for the rock album of 2008 in the Christian market... The title track has kind of been my "theme song" the last couple of months. (*****)
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster: II
The perfect blend of Southern rock and metal - this is my favorite album right now. (*****)
Kevn Kinney: Broken Hearts & Auto Parts
I picked this up in Athens the other day. It starts out a little slow, but turns into vintage Kevn Kinney/Drivin n Cryin. This is as good as anything he/they have ever put out! (****)
The Black Crowes: Warpaint
If you look up "killer" in the dictionary, you will find a picture of these guys.
Baroness: Red Album
So far the most original and inspiring music I've heard this year... (*****)
Down: Down - Over The Under
This is easily the most rockin' records I've ever owned. It's like redneck Soundgarden. Heaven for a dude like me... (*****)
Demon Hunter: Storm the Gates of Hell
Don't let the "metalcore" label fool you. This album features some of the biggest and hookiest choruses you'll ever hear. "Lead Us Home", "Carry Me Down", and "Thorns" are great examples. Plus I think they'll give you your money back if the title track doesn't make your ears bleed :) (*****)
iPods were OK. Stephanie and I forgot our iPods during one of our training runs a couple of months ago, and ended up having (gasp!) a pleasant conversation. We haven't taken them since.
I would hate to have been used to doing something during training, but then have it taken away for the race :(

Congratulations! Did they make you leave your iPods at home? We are having a marathon here in Houston, and they are not allowing headphones because of the safety factor, so no music to run to. I'm guessing that would make it very difficult, if you trained with music.

Congratulations! I'm so proud of you Steph! And you too Mark ;)

That's awesome! Congrats! Now where are your mouse ears Mark??? Stephanie is just beautiful btw.
Posted by: Wendy | January 08, 2007 at 10:12 AM
Woo hoo! Go Mark and Stephanie! :D
Posted by: Kara | January 07, 2007 at 09:09 PM
Way to go Mark & Stephanie!!

Well done Mr. Lee

Congratulations! That's awesome!

Congratulations! What a great accomplishment!

Congrats, guys - that's great! :) Erin and I are doing the same thing in April for the Country Music Marathon... sort of. She's going to do the half, I'll do the full - but we'll be able to run the first 10 miles or so together, so that will be great. I think all of my bandmates are going to run it too - so you can be looking for some good press in CCM and the gauntlet to be thrown down... Take care - enjoy those carbs! :)
