Catholic Roundup

On Day 3 of 40 Days of Catholic media, I interviewed Kyle Heimann of Popple about the significance of Lent in a Catholic’s journey. In the intervening 3 weeks Popple have been very busy touring, and recording new music and a new video. First up, is a youtube video of Popple’s Forever Yours produced by Greg Willits of the Rosary Army.

Next Popple and their friend Manuel3 have released a very cool Motownish song for Lent entitled, I will walk with u.

Don’t forget people, that I have a half hour feature interview with Kyle Heimann of Popple on my For the Sake of the Song podcast scheduled for Release on April 20. It’s all ready and I might just be convinced to let my Catholic Canadian listeners have a sneak listen– if you let me know in the comments on the blog or by email to ductapeguy at hotmail dot com. So far I’ve only had a couple responses.

While we’re on the topic of blatant self promotion, I’m in the Catholic Blog Carnival again this week. This week, the host is Father V at Adam’s Ale . And it’s still not too late to nominate me for Best New Blog at the 2008 Catholic Blog Awards.

For several years, whenever I wanted to find new Catholic Blogs, I have turned to Saint Blog’s Parish Directory. Of course there is no Saint Blog, and it is not a real parish. It is however one of the longest running Catholic blog directories on the internet. They also maintain a Webring, RSS Aggregator of all the St. Blogs Feeds, and the St. Blog’s Parish Wiki. It is great way to get to know other Catholic bloggers and become part of the community. In fact, I signed up for the St. Blog’s parish directory this weekend.

I have also been listed in the Catholic Blog Directory and as I mentioned earlier, I also have been participating in the weekly Catholic Blog Carnival as a way to become acquainted with and join in the conversations in the Catholic blogosphere.  Edit:  In fact this week’s Catholic Carnival is up over at A Third Way.

Finally, the nominations are open for the annual Catholic Blog Awards. I would be thrilled if one of my readers nominated me in the Best New Blog category. It’s not that I think what I’m doing is exceptional here. I’m just another voice in the St. Blog’s Parish choir. However, a nomination would help introduce me to a number of other Catholic bloggers and potential readers, and ultimately I ain’t to proud to beg.
