  Mea Culpa
In the late 1990s, Mea Culpa — along with Crash Into June, and Kitchens and Bathrooms — helped to define modern Memphis guitar-pop with songs that were brooding and darkly comic, but inevitably melodic and concise.
Mea Culpa was formed in 1995 by Gilbert Garcia, a journalist who has worked for Phoenix New Times and the Dallas Observer.
Garcia has always envisioned Mea Culpa as an eclectic collective that could simultaneously incorporate everything from Brit-pop to punk to country to R&B. In that spirit, Madison veers from the propulsive punk of "Silence" to the sinewy grooves of "Expiration Date" and the baroque pop of "Resumé" and "Nothing To Say."

  Mea Culpa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mea Culpa is a Latin phrase that translates into English as "my fault", or "my own fault." In order to emphasize the message, the adjective "maxima" may be inserted, resulting in "mea maxima culpa," which would translate as "my most [grievous] fault."
Contrary to what it may seem at first, the "mea culpa," as the Confiteor has come to be known popularly, is not a confession of sins, but rather an admission of one's flawed nature and the willingness to make amends for it.
In the popular vernacular, the expression "mea culpa" has acquired a more direct meaning, in which, by doing or performing a "mea culpa", someone admits to having made a mistake by one's own fault (meaning that it could have been avoided if that person had been more diligent).

 Mea culpa
To emphasize the point the phrase is sometimes strengthened to 'mea maxima culpa' - literally 'my most grievous fault'.
In everyday speech more recently mea culpa is used more lightheartedly and with little regard to its religious origin.
Someone who admits 'mea culpa' may well be doing so in order to deflect criticism, as it could be construed as bad form to point out someone's failings after they have already acknowledged them, especially when the mistake wasn't overly important.

 Amazon.com: Mea Culpa: After Forever: Music
My fault is the translation of mea culpa, which is why it is sometimes used in the context of "I'm sorry." Normally I would not review a "best of" CD, and especially this one based on the reasoning of the review by Mr.
Not all of the album tracks are the same as the original - for instance Mea Culpa is beautifully done a cappella - but all are excellent, as are the non-album ones, especially the last, Who Wants to Live Forever.
Of all the CD's I have, this Disk 1 is my favorite, but since it is a compilation of music from various sources, it cannot be fairly compared to stand alone works and is therefore not in my top five list.

He opened his daily episode of "Hardball" with a mea culpa, and it was a doozy.
Displaying all the heartfelt remorse of a kid being dragged by his ear to apologize to an old lady for sending a baseball through her window, Matthews began by explaining that it's hard out there for a pundit.

But I took a shot at Dean, too, saying I thought Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry was more electable.

But from what I can tell, Bailey's column is a fairly admirable -- and rare -- mea culpa.
But note that the moderate, science-based rhetoric of his mea culpa in no way matches the wrongful delight he took in slamming those warning of the risks.
According to the titles of Bailey's books, people who warned of the risks of global warming were "false prophets." Global warming (or global heating, as James Lovelock calls it) was "a myth." To speak of more powerful hurricanes, rising sea levels, or climate chaos, was "alarmism."
