| "Awakening" single/video update; RSS/email-delivery bug fixed! |
The call to de-lurk got a whopping 73 comments, and I somehow managed to keep my promise to reply to each one. Thanks once again to everyone who responded! Hopefully commenting on that post has emboldened some of you to comment more often - which would make this place even more fun, y'know. ;)
(( NEWS ))
Our MOTW guru Arpit Mehta got to go help Switchfoot with the "Awakening" video yesterday, in LA. He also got to see the whole video (except for the part he was working on, which is going to be a very minor part of the video). Some of the adjectives he used to describe it: "awesome", "brilliant". Some hints he provided: Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution, Buster...
The video should be released in 2-3 weeks. According to FMQB, the song will be available to HOT Adult Contemprary (AC) radio on the 26th of this month. But that hasn't stopped some stations who seem like they can't wait to get the song playing, and as a result the song has seen 30 spins already this week, taking it to #82 on the Hot AC charts. Most of these plays are from Salt Lake City's 107.9 FM - they've played it 24 times this past week. :) Come 26th, don't forget to call in and request (here's the list of stations), as often as you can! But if you live in SLC, Norfolk (94.9 FM) or Albuquerque (100.3 FM), you don't have to wait - 'cause they're playing it on these stations already!
Switchfoot played "Yesterdays" live in concert for the first time at Cincinnati. I've put it up on our MySpace. Visit switchfootbootlegs.com to access/download these bootlegs. In a few days, we will be bringing you a good-quality video of this performance.

(( SITE UPDATE ))
Lastly, one of our readers, Mukta, had brought up a problem I've been trying to combat for a while with no success - that is, posts being ordered in RSS feeds according to the "latest updated" instead of "latest published", which meant that if I made an edit to an old post, it would pop up in your feed readers, RSS widgets, or in your emails (for those who've subscribed for email updates). I think we lost a few subscribers because of this, too, especially during the last few days where I had to make changes to a handful of old posts. Anyway, I finally managed to fix the problem today! (Today's email will be the last time you get older posts.) And needless to say, this makes me happy, because it was quite an annoyance. That's all. Have a great day, everyone.
PS: Now that the email-delivery is fixed, I can say without holding back: feel free to sign up for the email updates where we link you to new posts - it gets sent out once every day (well, only if there have been new posts, which is pretty much every day.) Signing up is quick and easy, all we need is an email address - scroll down this page and you'll see it on the sidebar to the left, under "switchAddicts".Labels: humour and randoms., news |

They didn't play Yesterdays in Asheville. But it was an awesome show. After I write a review, I will send it to you.

Yeah, I just realized Mike (by mistake) put up the Cincinnati MP3s under "Ashville", at switchfootbootlegs.com, which made me think they played it. I'll correct the post. Looking fwd to your review.

and just in case anyone misses it (cause i usually make just 1 post a day), right before this post i posted a video download of "oh! gravity." from the CD USA TV appearance.

booya :D
The RSS problem was getting slightly annoying, but I wouldn't have unsubscribed because of it. switchfeed is too good to pass by.
Glad you fixed it though.

I cannot wait for awakening. That song will make my life at least 121.2 times better if I hear it on the radio...which is unlikely...but hey! So I have decided that Switchfeed is taking longer to load than ever before, and I dont like it. I WANT MY SWITCHFEED NOW, DANGIT!

Thanks for clearing that radio situation up Phil.
However, I'm curious as to when Awakening will be released to Top 40, Active Rock, and Alternative radio stations, like it said on the Footsoldiers site. Is it the same time as Hot AC? Or... haha. Oh, and why did the site not post any AC radio stations to call into?
Sorry for asking, but it appears that you have a lot of access to radio stuffs...
Thanks again Phil! (I guess I'm not a lurker, eh?)
-
Heh - that's the first time I've been called a guru of anything :p
@ Jacob - it might not be 121.2 times better, but it might come close! :)
-
the video sounds exciting. i'm looking forward to it
