| Our bootlegs site makes it to CCM Magazine! |
I thought this was pretty awesome. Thanks to Jeanna from LOBH for posting about it on the officials, and for the scan!
Congrats Mike.
I've set up a General Discussion forum on the lowercase people boards, one more reason for you to join! Now you can talk about stuff other than art, music, words or justice.
"Awakening" officially released to radio (i.e., is available to stations), so call and request! Here's a list of stations, if they don't have the song, tell them to get it!
"Oh! Switchfoot" on the boards found this cover of "Lonely Nation" at clark-studios.com (which I'm guessing they got made because they planned to release it as a single, but then plans changed.)
Eva on the official boards posted about a Switchfoot biography, along with scans. Check out the thread here.
(( WHAT PEOPLE SAY ))
I loved how the lead singer of a band I really dig right now, Stephen Christian of Anberlin, so casually called Jon Foreman a "philosopher". To quote:
When sprituality arises in a Christian interview, inevitably and redundantly people still want to know if Anberlin is a Christian entity; and once again, I answer and have to explain myself with the high hopes that this will be the last time we ever have to answer the question. I leave it to the listener to call it what they must. For me, though, I adhere to Colossians, when Paul said, "and as you sing Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (sing) with gratitude in your hearts to God." I always find the question of "Christian band" a bit perplexing to say the least. At moments, it feels like people are more concerned with the product that they consume than the souls behind the music. No one has ever asked me about my relationship with God, they simply want to know if we classify our songs neatly into the sub-genre known as "Christian rock." I personally agree with philosopher Jon Foreman when he said, "God is much more interested in how I treat the poor, broken, and hungry than the personal pronouns I use when I sing."
Read full interview here. Thanks to Dan from the official boards for posting about this.Labels: what people say. |

AMAZING! haha. I like Anberlin, but hearing Jon referred to as a philosopher is pretty strange... but cool!

Hello!
First, just wanted to thank you and all your contributors for this awesome fan site...it's such a great resource! I was wondering whether it would be ok for me to post your transcribed lyrics to "somebody's baby" on my blog? (with credit given, of course!)...Thanks again, and keep up the great entries!
from a fellow vancouverite,
elaine.

"Philosopher." Stephen is an honest man.

Aha! Finally, the recognition he SO deserves. He is, after all, my favourite existentialist, yes? :D
