Download: Spirits In The Material World (Police cover)

(update on Feb 8, '07:) The omniscient Katers just let me know that the song "was done on April 25th, 2003 in a show at Norman, Oklahoma. A fan bootlegged the show and shared it with us here [on the message boards]."

(update @ 3:51pm:) You can now add this to your MySpace profile.

I've never seen this posted anywhere before (maybe sometime in some thread on the boards, but apart from that, nope.) I love it.

Download this...

Also, a couple video clips of "Faust" performed at Frankfurt the other day (thanks LOBH) - it's bootleg-quality, but what the hey - we haven't seen this song done live before, and its pretty cool:

Don't miss the Daily Foot entries! I can hardly wait for the tour to arrive in Canada.

Some new comments on the Beyonce poll discussion, in case you forgot to check back.

[Loving the new "meteoric" album review on the switchGoogler? I am. Our next installment of a "review slew" will be here soon.]

Labels: downloads, exclusives, rare songs and covers.

I have the SITMW after some creative searching brought me to a bootleg webpage last year but you're going to be king of switchfoot fandom for posting the download! Kudos!

Our marquee is up for the show here and I am waiting patiently.

I watched the vids yesterday and didn't really like them. The crowd singing along is super annoying. You can barely even hear the guys.

And yeah Phil, like Rose said, you need to fix the Daily Foot!

Oh, I thought you guys might like this. It's the original music video by The Police of "Spirits In The Material World."

What is "Sex" off the Frankfurt Daily Foot?

"Faust" is still my favorite song from the album, so in spite of the quality, I enjoyed the videos. I'm so ridiculously excited for the tour to get here.

Sex is Easier Than Love. It's just a cooler name. ("Sex is currency...")

Working on the "Daily Foot" messed up order - it shows up find on the RSS feed so its really inexplicable why the widget messes up the order.
