| No, not mine...but I did sing webground vocals on it, and it's SICK! It was done by my friend Andrew Osenga and you can download it for free http://www.andrewosenga.com/blog/
If you have it in your pocket to donate a few bucks to him, go for it, otherwise just simply enjoy it. The song I sang webground vocals on is the last one, "Swing Wide the Glimmering Gates." Enjoy it!

| First ... make sure to check out the bottom of this post for some important information - thank you. And without further ado and after much deliberation - the winner of the "make up my life story contest" is ... Tim Garrison! This is my life story according to Tim (don't ask my family if it's true, they will lie to you):
http://www.ilike.com/artist/emerging/theothermarkmiller
Just click on the artist bio to read it.
Someone should make a movie about me...and pay me royalties. Ok, enough of that.
So, while you are at ilike.com, be a friend and add me to your facebook profile under music :) Once you install the ilike profile, it will automatically post your "favorite" music under ilike. 9 of you have already graciously added me as Mark Miller, and rightly so, for it is my name, and I am grateful to you. But my profile is as theothermarkmiller, so if you could add me as that too, that would be sweet! Oh, you can click on the "ilike this artist" button at my link as well. You should be able to add my music soon and hear it online...
And if you want to help me with more shameless self promotion, go to itunes and leave a review of my album, Threshold, there! If you don't own the album, you can buy it there too :) Illinois folks, you can buy a hard copy of Threshold at Berean Bookstores as well.
If you go leave a review on itunes and/or add me to your facebook "favorite" music profile, send me an email at theothermarkmiller@gmail.com, and then I will send you an mp3 of some stuff I am and will be working on soon, and YOU will get to hear it and have it first...don't look at the screen like that.
Also...if you happen to be a graphic designer and want to help me out with some promo stuff :D, like you need something to work on for class or just feel like being nice, let me know :)
Thanks! You guys rock at life!
-Mark

| I hate writing bios, with a passion - almost as much as chewing on raw horse or stapling my hand to the wall. Yet, I need a bio...
So, what do you think, do you feel creative? How would you like to write my bio? You can make up anything about me, it doesn't have to be real, but if it is imagined, make it so fully awesome that its clearly not true :)
If I pick your bio to use, I will give you my CD for free, or if you already have it, I'll email you some demo stuff I've been working on. Of course, if you feel so inspired to write a real bio and an imaginary one about my undercover ninja monkey protection work for the CIA or whatever - and I use them, I can send you my CD and demo stuff.
-you know what? If your submission entertains me, even if I don't use it, I will still email you a new song :)
What do you think? Are you up for it?

| Hey all! Just letting you know that my friends Jeremy and Cameron are coming to Tokyo in less than a week! Most of you probably don't know who they are, and that's ok, but if you live in Tokyo, and miss out on meeting them and their music...well you are doing yourself a great disfavor. So...please come listen to us play together around Tokyo!
We have two solo shows, one at the Rock Factory, Thursday, March 22 at 7:00 PM!!! Note the time change, because we initially thought it was 8, and if I talked to you before, that's what I told you.
www.rock-factory.net
Second show is at the Kick Back Cafe, Saturday, March 24 at 7:00 PM!
www.kickbackcafe.jp
Both shows are free, so it would be great to see you all there - and go ahead and bring your friends while you are at it. We'll be doing original songs plus a couple Shane & Shane covers.
Any questions, send me a message!

Our band page - The James Dickerman Band - and, yes, we know that no one in our band is named James Dickerman

| My laptop sits perpetually on my desk or table, always within earshot of where I am, tirelessly playing song after song from itunes (interspersed with the occasional Ravi Zacharias talk). So this album from my friend Chris Mason comes on, and I hear it as I walk from my bedroom to my bathroom to shave. Well, to continue on with this incredibly long lead in to my point, my shower in my bathroom has a leak that drips continuously, and I'm not mechanically inclined enough to fix it.
As I walked in, my music/rhythmic oriented mind immediately tuned in to an unusual occurance, my shower was dripping in perfect time on the beat to my afformentioned friends song! Craziness. Two totally unrelated things coming together to make harmony.
Then I realized - I have seen this before. No, not specifically a shower dropping water to the time of itunes, but to a much larger scale. I've seen it in the way that God shapes my path. Following after God, sometimes it seems like a step is disjointed from the rest, going down a different path or maybe taking a side trip...but no...each seemingly random thing has a purpose - an expected end - an incredible story that only God sees and that He Himself has written! My mind is completely blown everytime with how He weaves things right under my nose and I never see it coming. And let me tell you, no one is a better writer than He is! True story... ;)
So much of my life is still a question. I don't even know what I'm doing after this year, shoot, I don't even know what all will happen THIS year, but it's all good. I'm learning to trust more and more, waiting on God in a state of dependency. This is where I want to be. One step at a time, Lord - lead me on.
