Youth baseball season is officially over! Whew. I've had a few people ask me recently "are you still blogging?" I'm not sure I ever really was, but just maybe we will find a little space again.

Fanatic Friday: High Steppin edition

Fanatic Friday: Not The Way That I Was edition
A good New Years song, Happy New Year by the way!
A roundup is in the works, and I hope to follow up to the mailbag next week as well.
PS> A Madison version if you prefer

Fanatic Friday: Three Words memento edition
Fanatic Fridays have apparently been abdicated by Mrs. Badger so I'll sneak one more Avett in here. Yah, I'm a regular Jacobite!
Actually I wanted to do Swept Away but there's no good videos.

Fanatic Friday: Ode Of A Cardinal edition
Was there life before The Avetts and Ravenous Attack Dogs?
song by Charles Albert Tindley circ. 1906
PS. Sorry, as of scheduling this post The Avetts have yet to be ousted from Fanatic Friday proliferation.
PPS. True conversation
Wife: "I don't hate them, they are just a little overrated in this house."
Me: "False."
Wife: "Isn't there anything else you listen to lately?"
Me: "No. Why do you hate my Avetts? Have you ever even listened to one of their songs?"
Wife: "No, because they are so boring that I fall asleep halfway through the song."
She said I should have posted the Frank Kaminsky dance video....
For the record, I think I have perhaps posted just as many Weird Al videos. Hmm, okay, here's the deal. Vote "Like" for this beautiful Protestant Folk Hymn by Seth Avett OR vote "Time for a Drink" to vote for my wife's selection of Frank the Tank dancing to Taylor Swift. If my wife wins, I will cede control over Fanatic Friday to her. If I win, I promise to continue my campaign of Avetting us to death until another fixation takes me.
Fanatic Friday: Thetimman edition
Here's one for St. Louis Catholic
My wife has claimed I am "obsessed" with the Avetts.
If "Time for a Drink" outnumber "Likes" on this post I will yield the floor to new Fanatic Friday music next week. I also take suggestions under consideration...
(And just in case, here's Seth Avett covering Halo by Beyonce )

Avett Brothers: Where did all the hairy men go
This past Friday, I went to my very first-ever Avett Brothers concert, at the Pabst Riverside Theatre in Milwaukee. The Riverside is an amazing place for a concert; it is definitely not a generic sports auditorium, and the atmosphere really adds to the experience.
The Avett Brothers played a show on Friday night and Saturday night; both shows sold out. The Avett Brothers describe themselves as a "folk rock band." I heard the Avett Brothers were one of the best live bands around, and I wasn't disappointed! I highly recommend seeing them live if you have the opportunity.
But I have to say... what is it with hairy men at indie concerts like this? It was like every single guy took "No Shave November" to an extreme.
Considering Matt's post last week on charismatics and how our sins affect more than just our relationship with God, I found this reflection from the Avett Brothers to be particularly insightful, as we are all searching for purpose:

The Avett brothers' grandfather, Clegg Avett (1917–1976), was a Methodist minister. After reading his grandfather's sermons, Scott Avett says that he began to think seriously about matters of faith and spirituality. “Our hands and minds, legs and mouths, eyes and ears, arms and feet were all made with purpose, and though you may never find that exact purpose, it is your obligation to yourself and God to search for it ...”
