I've been a huge fan of Derek Webb ever since his beginnings in Caedmon's Call. I really think he has some great things to say about the world, god, and what it is to be human. I know these are lofty claims, but I think they're true.
I listened to an interview with him, however, yesterday and was so turned off by his egoism and almost "holier than thou" answers...when his whole mission and purpose (at least in his music) was to critique and dismiss that attitude that is so prevalent--especially in the church.
Moral of the story is he has a new album (came out in 2007 but I never really knew about it...so how much of a fan can I really be you are asking yourself) and there's an option to choose your own price for it. And pre-interview I would've probably thrown a 10 spot his way, but I went for $0 and referring 5 of my friends instead (sorry to Bern and the 4 other fake emails I made up).
So Derek, I hope you are listening because I really like you. And I love your music. But I think you are a little whack-attack, and maybe by my criticizing you I am guilty of what I am accusing, but I just had to put it out there.
And I feel a little guilty for it all, so I'm posting the link to your site so others can get your album for free...or maybe they'll pay...or give you an legitimate email address at the very least.
