365 project "Jesus loved the outcasts. He loves the ones the world just loves to hate"

99.

artist:relient k
album:employee of the month

i am under the impression that this EP really does not exist other than the copy i have in my hands. this is probably a good thing, as i am so not impressed with it at all. i looked on amazon and eBay and turned up one other copy, going for fifty bucks plus shipping, without its case. no thank you. maybe since mine still has its case, i can put it up on amazon for 75 dollars.

i popped this sucker into my car stereo the other day and it was like i was hearing it for the first time, and i don't mean that in a good way. i didn't know the lyrics to the songs. i don't remember having ever heard them before. I'm sure i have, because i used to carry this CD with me everywhere. its weird how very little i remember of it.

i just read on wikipedia that the guy on the front cover was lost at sea. i thought that was a joke so i researched it a bit more, and i found this article. what a strange, strange story to me. strange and sad.

I'm not sure that ill ever listen to this CD again. i really wish i didn't have such a strong distaste for relient K, because Matty t is a great dude. i guess its okay to like a person and not their art, but it makes me sad that i used to be such a fan and these days i just really cant get into them. i have a few relient k albums left to try on during this project, so maybe something will click.
