Publications, mail-order stores, and any other services mentioned herein are not intended as advertisements per se. I definitely receive no money or discount for mentioning any of them. Most don't even know that this list exists, or that they are included.
I make a policy of trying to include everything that I hear about. When something is sent to me, I may well include it verbatim. I will try to clean things up when necessary. I don't have the time, money, or inclination to try everything.
You should practice careful-consumerism in your monetary transactions with any and all of these services, just like I hope you do in all of your transactions. Do not assume that just because an individual or buisness is (or claims to be) a Christian that everything will automatically be perfect.
No warranty is implied about these services, but if you do experience problems, please let us know so that others can benefit from your (unfortunate) experiences.

rmc has a World Wide Web home page at http://www.netads.com/rmc/. Additional artist web pages, email addresses, etc are available on a page under that one.
This one's scope is rather broad. They try to hit everything and to not be too nasty, although every now and then even they have to draw the line. Positive side: once you get to know the reviewers, its a cake-walk.They have been accused of mediocrity on the one hand and worldliness on the other. You can find Sandi Patti and King's X in the same issue.

Or:
The Compact Disc Connection. I mention it here because it is one of the only places I know of that a significant portion of the Blonde Vinyl catalog is still available through. For that matter, I haven't completely plumbed the depths of their 80,000 CDs, but I keep finding more and more material that I know folks on this group would be very happy to find a (reasonably priced) source for. To get there type the following from your local o/s prompt:
telnet cdconnection.com
The rest should be self-explanatory.
One of the neatest features IMHO is the ability to search their DB by manufacturer label. Of particular interest to folks on this group will be: BV (14 items), Word (88 items), Sparrow (64 items), Benson (31 items), Star Song (71 items). Of course if you are looking for some of the big CCM names (Amy Grant, MWS, Russ Taff, etc.), they actually are listed on secular labels. (e.g. Capitol, RCA, MCA) In those cases you might be better looking by actual artist name.
Secular CCM
Essentially these are groups where one or more of the members have admitted publicly to some form of Christianity, and their lyrics tend to at least come from that world-view implicitly and in some cases and some times explicitly. This listing should not be misconstrued as some kind of 'approved artists list'
Suffice it to say that if you ever get to this category you will find yourself dealing with one or more of the following questions:
The Alternative
Alternative is a hard thing to nail down. One man's alternative, is another man's mainstream. And one man's alternative is another man's amusical trash. I know that I have been guilty of the charge of not liking anything that was popular. However, for purposes of categorization, anathema to the true outsider anyway, if it isn't available to the buying public through normal retail channels, it may be too alternative for its own good.
These artists tend to have more creative ideas than a label can ever hope to contain. So the various aliases, alter egos and founding member names are given for better tracking of their musical careers. Musical stylings in this category vary from R.E.M to Red Hot Chili Peppers. In no particular order:
Your best bet is to call Long's music and get their FREE catalog. Why? Well it isn't because of the prices, its the musical style codes and the selection. They have an entry for most everything that is available and its the easiest, most foolproof way, short of actually buying everything there is, of answering this question. Obviously if you have a christian bookstore close by, you can usually audition at least a small smattering of interesting choices as well.
I have changed my mind on this section again, I have severly condensed the comments of clopton5107@iscsvax.uni.edu. If you want more information than that given here, email him and/or carson@ac.dal.ca .
A good purchase for Christian's who like techno and or industrial music is the SLAVA Music sampler avialable on Blonde Vinyl records called "Voice of the People."

Q:
Is Collective Soul a Christian band?
A1:
Maybe. Some of the members, at least, grew up in Christian homes, notably
the principal songwriter, Ed Roland. But he doesn't claim to be a Christian.
(vapspwi@prism.gatech.edu (Jerry B. Ray))
A2:
Yes. I believe I'm a godly enough man to judge other people's souls, and
I've decided they are christians. Because I think some of their songs are
kinda catchy. And God will need catchy songs in heaven.
(gwhite@freenet.columbus.oh.us (Gabe White))
Q:
Is Alice Cooper a Christian?
A: Yes. Just listen to his latest album,
The Last Temptation and/or read the
comic books that go with it.
Q:
Why haven't I read any interviews about this?
A: Because Cooper's pastor and church have been
giving him the chance to just be a Christian, without
being assaulted by the media. We all need a chance to
grow.
Q:
What's the story on Alice Cooper's conversion?
A:
Nobody in the public seems quite sure. It apparently happened
around the time of the Wayne's World movie.
Soon after that, someone gave Cooper a golf video (Cooper is
an avid golfer) which had a promo spot by R. C. Sproul. Vince's
(Alice's real, offstage name) wife, Sheryl, recognized Sproul
from the covers of some books her parents had sent them. They
dig out the books, and it's the same guy. They phone Sheryl's
dad to get the scoop on Sproul. Her dad suggests they check
out an upcoming conference Sproul is doing. He was really
seeking the Lord, and participated in public worship. People
who spoke with him there found him meek and humble.
Q: What happened with Michael English & Marabeth Jordan?
A: This FAQ is available in
WWW
format, or from rmc posts, or via email from jws@sabine.psu.edu
(with a subject line of "REQUEST M.E. FAQ").
Q: What's Steve Taylor up to?
A: He was in a band called Chagall Guevara on the secular label MCA.
Steve then released Squint (12/93) on Warner
Alliance
(3/5 of the band was Chagall Guevara members). For reference
...all vocals by Steve Taylor, basses by Wade Jaynes, drums by
Mike Mead. In addition, Dave Perkins contributes guitars on the
song "bannerman". So 4/5 of Chagall Guevara shows up on the album
at one point or another. (Incidentally, the rest of the band on
the album is Jerry Macpherson (!) on guitars and Phil Madiera on
keys.)
He also put out Liver, a "live-r than most" live album, and a "Best of" album with some bonus tracks. As well, he has been busy producing and writing with the Newsboys, among others. He also did at least one tour with the Newsboys (the Take me to Your Leader tour).
Now, according to Brendt Waters <poohntig@mindspring.com>,
He has formed his own label, Squint Entertainment. The first
release will be a self-titled disc by Sixpence None the Richer
(produced by Steve). Release date is scheduled for Nov 4. From
what I remember reading in the announcement press release (which
I can't find now), Squint Entertainment will not only do music,
but films, too.
Q: Who were the people in Chagall Guevara?
Q: When is Chagall's next release coming out?
Q: What's King's X mean?
A: Steve Taylor, Lynn (Arthur) Nichols, Dave Perkins,
Mike Mead, Wade Jaynes
A: Unfortunately, this band is history.
A: Like all good Rock & Roll, it has multiple meanings, but
it seems that for the members of the band it has no intended
meaning.
In Vol. 19, Issue 94 of the Christian magazine 'Cornerstone', two of the
band members were interviewed by Chris Ramsey, Dave Canfield, and Brian
Grover. Doug Pinnick, lead vocalist and bass player, and Ty Tabor, lead
guitarist, had this to say when asked "What does the name King's X mean?
Doug: Actually, I wanted a name that didn't mean anything, a name that you can't pinpoint. And we thought it didn't mean anything when we started, but when we moved to Texas we found out that king's X is a safety . . . you know, in the game of tag.
Also we found out that in medieval times in England there was a practice where a messenger would go to another kingdom to give a message to the king. And if the king receiving the message didn't like the message, he would kill the messenger . . . unless he had the mark of the king. It was called the king's X.
Ty: The X simply translated a message from one king to the other king. It said, "Please spare my messenger; it's not his fault if the message is not what you want to hear."
Q: Is Amy Grant possessed?
A #1: Get a life.
A #2: I have written a separate
diatribe on this.
Q: Did Leslie (Sam) Phillips backslide?
Q: Whatever happened to Leslie Phillips?
A: She is recording on the secular label Virgin under the name
Sam Phillips.
A: Original Answer: Get a clue.
New Answer: Why? Just because she moved from one segment
of the music industry to another? There is no evidence of which I am
aware that she has backslidden. See my separate
Amy Grant diatribe on the same issue.
Q: Whats the story on Ms. Phillips' first name change (from Leslie to
Sam)?
Q: Did Petra write "God Gave Rock and Roll to You?"
Q: Are (any of) the members of Kiss Christians?
Q: Did Petra write the song for
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?
Q: Whats up with Mark Heard?
A: In an interview on 3/16/94 on Fresh Air (public radio program) she
said that Sam was a nickname that she got from her parents when she
was very young.
A: No, Russ Ballard of the band Argent wrote the song in 1973. Petra
covered it (for the first time) in 1976 on their
Come and Join Us
album and Kiss covered it in the eighties.
A: There has been no declaration (public or private) that we are
aware of.
A: see above.
A: Mark had a mild heart-attack after he left the stage at
Cornerstone 92 (July 4th weekend).
He went to the hospital and they checked him out, everything was ok.
Then 6 days later, he went into full cardiac-arrest and was in a coma in a hospital in Springfield Illinois until Aug 16th when he finally passed away at the age of 40.
10/92 CCM said: "Heard is survived by his wife, Janet, and their 4 year-old daughter, Rebecca, who are currently strapped with medical bills totalling over $300,000. Those wishing to assist the family in retiring that debt can make contributions to the:
Heard Family Fund
c/o New Sound
P.O. Box 197
Merrimac, MA 01860
1) The medical bills have finally been paid off. Donations are still being accepted, but now they will go to helping Janet and Rebecca rather than paying for over-priced aspirins.
2) The video of the benefit concert is being prepared for release. Besides concert footage, it will also include the "Is It Any Wonder?" video from the Ideola project Tribal Opera, as well as a new video for "Treasure of the Broken Land."
3) More details on the Strong Hand of Love album: Bruce Cockburn plays an acoustic version of the title track; The Call submitted 'a searing version of "We Know Too Much"'; and there will be 18 songs total -- it's all that could fit (they've had to turn people away) -- though it's possible there might be "a limited edition book that will include two discs and any of the songs that didn't make it to the initial disc release".
4) Box sets: Fingerprint is also attempting to get the rights to all of Mark's recordings -- 16 released albums and a host of unreleased material -- with the goal of collecting it all into a single box set. They say it'll be a few years, but in the meantime are looking for any good quality live recordings that folks might have to be included in the package.
Strong Hand of Love is out, but nota bene: the order and the songs on the CD are not the same on the cassette. Orphans of God, a 30 track box of some unreleased Mark Heard combined with some of the other tributes that have neither made it to the tape or CD should be released sometime in the first half of 1995. Fingerprint has also released an interview CD from the Mark Heard tribute radio special, featuring interviews with Sam Phillips and Bruce Cockburn. It's only available in limited quantities directly from Fingerprint.
Strong Hand of Love has been nominated for best Contemporary Christian album Grammy. The awards will be handed out March 1 1995.
Q: Is One Bad Pig broken up?
Q: "Did [insert famous guitarist here] really say that Phil Keaggy
is the best guitarist in the world? I heard [said famous
guitairist] said it in a [insert popular tv show/magazine here]
interview, so it's gotta be true..."
Q: Does Phil Keaggy have all of his fingers?
|
Q: What's all the fuss about Mike Warnke?
A: Not officially. Paul Q-Pek left to pursue a solo career
in Nashvile, where he is reputedly close to signing a record
contract. Phillip Owen left the band because between running
his own business and his growing family, he felt he couldn't
make the time ocmmitments he needed to for OBP. Kosher (Carey
Womack) and (Daniel) Tucek are still praying about what to do
regarding One Bad Pig.
A: According to Phil (spring 1993 true tunes news), he has never
been able to verify that this was said by any famous guitarist
in any media forum, so it's quite likely that this is just
urban legend.
A: Nope, he is missing the middle finger on his right hand.
He lost it when he was 4 years old when a water pump fell on it.
(see the back cover of 2/93 CCM for proof ;-)
A: Vol 21, issue 98 (7/92) of Cornerstone (the publication
affiliated with JPUSA) published a story detailing the lack of a
factual basis for Mike Warnke's pre-conversion claims, including
those mentioned in his book "The Satan Seller".
It also focused on immoral conduct, dishonesty, and financial misdealing
in Mike Warnke's life and public ministry.
Then a newspaper article detailed the fact that his ministry has had its tax-exempt status revoked by the IRS.
Word has since suspended sales of his products, until the IRS is finished with their investigation.
On-line copies of this article and related material are available at http://www.rru.com/rmc/MW/ .

Many thanks to Eric Pement for keeping me straight on this one.
Q: What has Warnke's response been?
old A: Well, the only thing he can do to clear himself of the charge
of being a "consumate liar" is to produce an affidavit by someone
beside himself who knew him during that time. The only affidavit's
that he has produced are by people who have known him since.
November 9 1992 issue of Christianity Today has excerpts from an interview (by an independent syndicated journalist) with Warnke on the subject.
The 5/93 CCM says that Warnke has admitted to some (but not all)
of the charges that Cornerstone accused him of.
new A: Mike is supposed to be under authority now. I haven't
tracked down who the 5 people are that's he's submitted himself
to. Mike says that they don't want him to even try to address
details of the old allegations, but instead to just tell
everyone that he is under authority now, has repented of the
real sins (as opposed to untruths, the origins of which he says
he doesn't understand), and God has taken him back to real ministry,
without being caught up in all the trappings of a business.
This status comes from hearing and talking with Mike on a recent,
local talk radio program (I called in).
[I forgave Mike long ago, and prayed for him quite a bit. Who
among us would long survive unscathed on a pedastel? This in no
way excuses his sins - but we are called to judge sin, not Mike's
heart. And I must remember that "there but for the grace of God
go I."]
Q: Is Sandi Patti getting a divorce? Why?
Q: What are the relations (if any) of christian musical person's
with the last name Huff?
old A: Yep.
The REAL reason may not be known. The "official" reason from
Sandi herself (or her press manager, I don't know which) is that she
and her husband, who is also her manager, had different goals for
her career. He wanted her to continue a high number of performances
and she wanted to stay home with her children more.
Pray for them.
new A: Actually, she got one a while back. She remarried,
and has since publicly admitted she had an affair. She is
allegedly taking time off from her carrer to get right with
God (not a bad idea, eh?) Pray for Sandy, her ex-husband,
her new husband...
A: Dann and Dave Huff of the band Giant are not members of David and
the Giants. Ronn Huff, the hired-gun arranger of classical
strings on most CCM albums, is their father. Dann and Dave were
also two of the original members of the band White Heart.
David Huff of the band David and the Giants is Kellye Huff's father.

The worship-faq includes a database of praise and worship songs, in ASCII text format in tab-delimited fields.
Over 3000 songs are currently listed in the FAQ, including many of the songs from Maranatha, Vineyard, NALR & OCP (Catholic), and many from the Integrity/Hosanna. Additionally, it includes information on songs written by members of the "worship" mailing list. Also included are pointers to various internet resources related to worship music, and address information for the major worship music publishers. Finally, it now includes a large section of books reviews related to the topic of worship.
For each song, the database portion of the FAQ includes title, author, copyright, tempo, key, songbook/page, theme, scripture references, focus (is God referred to as "He," "You," or "I" in the lyric?), licensing, and other useful information.
Because the file is tab-separated, it can be read into many database programs, which will recognize the tabs as delimiters; from there, the database program can be used to do searches and reports.
