My name's Ben. My sister's been in love with this band forever, but I just gave them a chance when they wrote a song about Tom Waits.

My favorite band is Radiohead. My favorite songwriters are Jeff Mangum, Tom Waits, Mark Hollis, Thom Yorke and Sufjan Stevens.

I love music, movies and books in that order and my taste gets less refined as you go down that list. : )

I'm a religious studies major at the University of Kansas.

Welcome Ben!

What brings you here? What else is your connection to OtR, and what have you listened to?

Ahh...so thus the shout out to KU over the win last week. My blood runs crimson and blue as well.

My husband is also an apple, pulpexploder, that hasn't frolicked among the trees in a while, but we're just a hop, skip and a jump away from you (via K-10...watch out, they're crazy dangerous on there sometimes) in Olathe.

So, welcome to the Orchard. I hope you'll help me post in the NCAA Basketball thread. Beware of the tar heel fans in here. ph34r.gif

Janelle, you crack me up.

Welcome to the orchard, Ben.

I decided to give them a try after seeing them on a bunch of top 10 lists for 2007. All I've listened to is The Trumpet Child, but I plan on taking it slow through their catalog. I went to Cornerstone in 2001 and watched Spoken and Travail while my sister saw OtR...My taste has changed quite a bit.

Yeah, I'm a non- or post-denominational christian. C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Donald Miller, Jeffrey Overstreet, Sufjan Stevens and my good friend Jerry are my heroes.

Hey Ben, glad you could join us! Welcome to the orchard.

I spent a long weekend in Overland Park about 32 years ago, don't know if that counts...

I'm in Topeka right now, my dad's a pastor here so I grew up here.
