I got my email this morning for my unique download link, burned it to CD, and listened to it on the way into work. Awesome … seems to integrate styles from past albums with more strings and not quite as much electronic back beats. Very tastefully produced.

No, responsible governments and citizens stop illegal immigration and people who break the law …

Maybe he’ll advise her that it’s possible to get into the National Archives, snatch documents, and get away with it without prison time or really any major consequences at all … everyone knows that if he had been a Republican, he would have been fried for that. Just look at Sen. Larry Craig … he gets caught doing something that in my mind, at least on a national security level, is far less harmful than stealing classified documents and he gets totally burned for it, while on the other hand a Democrat can go into the National Archives, steal classified documents, and get away with it. Just fascinating the double-standards. Why wasn’t there a media circus whenever the thing with Sandy Berger came out in the same way there was with Larry Craig?

I came across this today on AOMIN.org and didn’t even realize it was there: a theology chatroom. The link is the left-hand side of the main page (kind of obvious), but I just usually hopped on to read the blogs and hear the DL radio show. It uses a java applet to connect to an IRC server. Good stuff, check it out. Post your questions and I’m sure you’ll get answers, good answers. These aren’t just run-of-the-mill lay persons (like me), they are scholars and theologians.
“I honestly do not understand how anyone can say ‘I believe the Bible is the Word of God’ without being passionate about that confession. I love the Trinity, justification by faith, the Resurrection, and sola scriptura. I do not pretend to be dispassionate about these things, and, as such, I stand firmly on this assertion: Christian scholarship that lacks passion about the truth is not worthy of the name Christian to begin with. If dispassion and detachment are necessary attributes of scholarship, then I do not seek the appellation. I cannot comprehend dry faith, arid confession, or mere mental assent.”

Incredible … though you can pay nothing for the album, they are telling people to pay what they want, so they are hoping people will pay something, but maybe the new open concept of giving away the album will attract more people to their music than if they had gone about it the normal way … guess we’ll see.

Update 1 …
It looks like their web systems cannot handle the load of users attempting to go to their site (as if mine could :). I mean the article was first published on Telegraph.co.uk and then posted on DrudgeReport.com … so word is out all over the world. It looks like they may have temporarily taken the link down (well now it’s back up). But regardless still trying …
Update 2 …
It appears it is next to impossible to actually get to a page to enter your email address so that you can get an activation code as well as instructions on how and where to download. After attempting to go through the process, I finally got to a point where I could enter information in, and then it sent me back to www.inrainbows.com and said I could only have one download (but I haven’t entered anything yet). Boo … still trying.
Update 3 …
I finally got to the secure site, registered my email address, entered in all my info to purchase the album (for 0.00 pounds), it went through processing, and then once I got to the confirmation page, it gave me a mysql_connect error (PHP to MySQL back-end connection issue), so I’m not even sure it sent my information to the DB at all (apparently it did not). I saved the page with my confirmation number just in case, but it doesn’t matter if the application did not write the data to the DB. I never received an email with an activation code or instructions on how and where to download. Still trying …
Update 4 …
I have now received my first spam email on my gmail account as a result of this I’m assuming. So they got my email to sign me up for spam, but not my registration and $0 purchase of the download. etc …
