Jesus And Mary Chain — The Power Of Negative Thinking: B-Sides And Rarities

To discount the 81 tracks collected on The Jesus And Mary Chain's four-disc set The Power Of Negative Thinking as b-side and rarity toss-offs would be grossly negligent. While most of the content doesn't quite compare to the songs on JAMC's many proper records, what these songs sometimes lack in singular greatness, they make up for as unfiltered...

Peaches Christ Superstar Rises From The Dead After Three Days... Just Like Jesus!

Peaches Christ Superstar, Peaches' planned staging of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar, has risen from the dead, three days after it was crucified.  It seems the Romans German authorities could not contend with Peaches Christ Superstar's powers, and it appears to have overcome even crucifixion itself.

Vatican Says Bono Always Singing About God

Here's something that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone: U2's Bono is down with God. Or at least that's what the Vatican says. According to The Guardian, L'Osservatore Romano, the Catholic institution's official newspaper, recently published an article (I hope you read Italian) stating that Bono is pretty much always singing about God. The...

Vatican Shows California Love, Endorses Tupac

What do you think would appear on a MySpace playlist created by the Vatican? If you said "religious music about Jesus" or "songs featuring the Pope," you'd be right. But you'd also be correct if you jokingly said, "2Pac." Yes, 2Pac's "Changes" shows up on a 12-song MySpace playlist that the Vatican...

Something Ridiculous: Rappers Suggest "Christian Side-Hug" For Freedom From Sinful Crotches (And Awkward Boners)

Sin. That's what the Christian rap group in the video below had in mind when they came up with and started advocating for the "Christian Side-Hug." What is it, exactly? Well, it's when you hug someone from the side near the hip, instead of going all full frontal on them. Basically you wrap them with your arms from the side while...

Creed — "Rain"

Aside from Scott Stapp's new shaved head, it's obvious about two seconds into the clip for "Rain" that not much has changed for Creed. Stapp's still pulling the Jesus Christ pose and there's still God references gallore — God is in the clouds, man! — and that rain must be some kind of Godly miracle.

The Beatles Officially More Popular Than Jesus

John Lennon provoked Beatles album-burnings and widespread condemnation from Christians for saying his band were "more popular than Jesus now" in 1966.

Creed Resurrected... Like Jesus!

Christians believe it took Jesus three days to rise from the dead. It looks like Jesus beats Creed, since it took the band five years to do the same. But unlike Jesus, nobody believes they ascended to heaven. The rumours are true. Creed have reunited and will launch an American tour that's slated to run from Aug. 6 to Oct. 14. Venues aren't set...
