About half of the FFM lectures are now available here. The rest should be up in a week or so. Happy listening!
Multimedia extravaganza.

I found this photo on a Flickr photostream maintained by one Joe Lanman, who is affiliated with the band Cinematic Underground. Although this particular photograph wasn’t taken during the lecture given by the band’s frontman here at Calvin, it approximates the event with the arty suggestiveness characteristic of the Underground.
You can see more of Joe’s documentation of daily life on a bus fueled by vegetable oil at his Flickr site, and listen to bandleader Nathan Johnson’s lecture about composing music for film here.

Whoa, bizarre! I hadn’t noticed. I will ask our tech guy why that is. Thanks for letting me know!

Blaspheming in the chapel
by Kate Bowman Johnston
When Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy took the stage at Calvin College last Thursday, it wasn’t a new experience for those of us who live and work here: Wilco, along with other bands of its ilk, has performed here in the past. But for many in the audience who don’t attend Calvin, the evening was anything but ordinary. As if seeing their alt-country anti-hero at a Christian college weren’t bizarre enough, Calvin had the gall to plop Tweedy down in the middle of its chapel—organ, choir loft, and all.

That illiterate light.

Last Thursday, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco played at an unusual Calvin College venue: the chapel. The setting made for an introspective, intimate acoustic show, and conversation about the show is buzzing. Check out concert attendee Morgan Glier’s up-close-and-personal photos, and zip over to Wilco fan site Via Chicago to read some rave reviews of and (occasionally misguided) speculation on the performance.
More goodies.
A few more lectures from last spring’s Festival of Faith and Music:

Kate,
Keep up the good work. I love reading the SAO blog to hear a new perspective on the concerts everyone talks about. One question.
Is Nickel Creek really coming to Calvin?! When, where, all that info I would love to know. Any idea when tickets go on sale?
Thanks for your work! You really are making an impact in this place, glorifying God by calling creativity and art “good” when so many just don’t understand. Keep up the educating!
