If you are like me, you like positive music. You love hearing great music. You wonder if you are the only one out there that wishes there was more "arty" faith-based music. The reality is that Christian radio just can't survive that way.
I guess one great way to overcome the safe sound is to have bands made up of Christians get a secular deal, market themselves as a secular band and make sure their songs have a positive message. Plenty of bands have done this. Mute Math, POD, Collective Soul, and plenty of bands that I am just now getting to know thanks to a new podcast I just found. I was about the 11,001st person to find it though.
Check out the Bored-Again Christian site and subsequent podcast. I DO listen to Christian radio but sometimes I want to take a chance. This will help you find that music you are looking for.
Peace

Any time someone mentions boredom and Christianity in , I immediately recall, and must recommend, Wild at Heart by John Eldgridge.
cf. http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Heart-Discovering-Secret-Mans/dp/0785287965
Reading this was an eye-openning, life-altering (and awakening) experience. When I read this book, it made me wonder about the 'tameness' of CCM.
