Sounds Like
the percussive clank of chain links attached to dozens of defiant stomping feet across the marbled business floor desert, fists raised high, open mouthed screaming brittle sirens over the hum of computers, air filtration systems and the muddy thud of a thousand apathetic hearts.

YOU CAN GET OUR MUSIC BY WRITING "hey@psalters.org" ...say what you want and where to send it and we will. We depend completely on donations as far as money goes so give us a really big amount....unless you don’t want to that’s okay...thanks
we are a nomadic community of psalmists. Currently 8 people, 2 dogs, 1 robot, 2 ships. More than 100 psalters from 12 countries have been involved over the years. We are on the road after our First Love, the refugee King....for whom we pledge our only allegiance. It's not only us...we're just the banner wavers of a little army out here just beyond your city walls. You can come along if you're a miserable wretch....but unfortunately there is not enough room for the generally good people. Don't fret. You wouldn't like this road....it's dirty (and greasy).
I must tell you this much however.........i can't see much of anything behind those gates of yours and there is not much of a breeze to feel....out here it hurts....outside the gates .........but i can feel and i can see ... a little better.
outside there is a Pillar of Fire
hey guys I know the midwest can be unbareable but can you come through more often please???? specifically illinois. if I can do anything to help with that I would be glad too. miss ya love ya. alrighty then bye bye

I'm excited to see yall (finally) in springfield MO, I look forward to meeting ya'll, probably be up there early banging some drums to make a little money for the show lol. shalom
Your performance at Musica last night was the best thing I've ever seen live in my life. Thank you so much for coming to Ohio to share your music with us. I baked cookies and gave them to Aaron Weiss; I hope you got come. Please come back to Ohio again in the future. = ) Well wishes, ~Nadia
Got to see you for the first time at allentown Pa, and it was awesome. Wanted to tell you congrats on a great final show for your tour with "me without you" and damien Jurado(spelling?). your music is honest and scriptural and thats all you could ask for out of worship music. Hope you guys can come over by Pittsburgh some time, because it's a terrible drive to Philly and Allentown from here. God Bless. -Jr
As I was reading your blog I got so excited. I was thinking, "this is the most marvelous thing" Then, I look at the schedule. And Illinois is nowhere to be seen.
My parents automatically hate any music I like. I was telling them about the concert in Memphis last night and couldn't really explain your music, so I just had them listen to the cd. Guess what. My mom actually liked it!
i was driving through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan yesterday and I saw this big, black school bus with curtains and I couldn't help but wish it was you guys =]
I greatly enjoyed your show last night in sprinfield, it was amazing to finally see ya live. hope to see more shows and that the rest of your tour goes well. shalom
