| A shoutout, video download, and more! |
(Update @ 11:55am:) I put up Jon's little Jimmy Eat World cover on YouTube, here. Hopefully it'll help some J.E.W. fans notice Switchfoot. And make some people on your MySpace (or wherever else you embed it) laugh.

My buddy Jill at "Ears to Hear", an indie music podcast, gave us a great shoutout: "one of the coolest blogs I've ever seen". (That made my day, Jill. You're awesome. :) Nice new layout, by the way.) She also played a bootleg of "Fatal Wound" on the show, which I loved. This gives me the perfect opportunity to urge you guys to go over to her podcast site and treat yourself to some great music every week. She does it purely for the love of art and supporting good artists, and for music fans like you, so make use of what she does and show her support!
----- RANDOM -----Jessica, one of our regular readers from Argentina, who did some great drawings that we featured on the site a while ago--she's really talented--got her first Switchfoot CD in the mail, after years of waiting, from a kind fan in Guatemala (fam-love, I tell you.) This left her understandably elated and the result of it was a cartoon strip which made me smile. I remember having to wait a few years until I got to Canada, to own my first Switchfoot CD, so I know how that feels--the wait, as well as the pleasure of finally owning it and being able to read the liner notes and stuff. Us North Americans are blessed, let's not forget. Anyway, have a look (click to enlarge):
----- VIDEO DOWNLOAD -----Joshua Walker emailed me a great find - a high-definition TV recording of "Oh! Gravity." on Letterman (it was a great performance, I'd posted it on YouTube, with an mpg download, earlier). Thanks, bud. I'll try and get you guys an MP3 of it, since the quality is so perfect and all.
----- INTERVIEW -----Justine Stehouwer brings an interview with Tim to my attention (that I don't think I've posted before). It's pretty good. Thanks, Justine.
----- PICTURES -----Vicky Chiri, after a great show in Cincinnati the other night, continued her great behind-the-scenes contributions to switchFeed. Tim, kind enough to help us out with an interview we wanted for the live DVD/mini-documentary I'm planning (with John Clarke, who's commented below), furnished Vicky with an aftershow/photo/video pass, and she did a great job - the interview turned out great. Tim said some lovely stuff, both deep and funny. We can't wait to release it when it's time. (See Vicky's picture with Tim.) Here are a couple pics she got for us (do not steal):
Keep up this spirit of sharing, guys. Feel free to email stuff to switchfeed AT gmail DOT com, I might take a while to reply, but I will. Thanks.

you're ever so welcome phil :)
eek i can't believe my name is on there... so cool. i'm going to call my sister and she's going to freak - it'll be fun!!!
-
Phil...I dunno if this is just me, but the e-mail that I got for a new post had a link to your 4:12 post...not the new one. I'm not sure if its just me, or if anyone else had that issue too.
Btw..the 4:12 post was really good, I'd read it earlier, deep phil, really deep!
and oooh! do I see the word dvd? yay!
-
^mukta, yeah, the thing is, the email updates and RSS feeds go by the "latest updated" posts. so if i make changes to an old post, it'll show up in the emails and RSS feeds as if it were a new one. (i don't know how to fix that.) that's why some old posts showed up recently. and tomorrow too you'll have a couple old video posts show up in your emails because i made slight changes. and today's new post didn't show in the email cuz I posted it after 8:30am. the emails get sent out by 8:30am, so if I don't post by then, then you'll get it in your email only the next day! yeah... oh well.
and thanks guys. peace.

man! i just keep forgetting i have more to say, haha. So Jon was singing a Jimmy Eat World song? I admit it scared me a bit at first but i was eventually shrieking in laughter. Should i be embarrassed to not know who Jimmy Eat World is?*makes embarrassed face*
-
I would've said "the single coolest blog I've ever seen," but I didn't want to sound too obsessively stalkerish. ;) And thank you for the plug. :)
btw, those are some awesome pictures. I especially like the second one...
-
ack, those pics are so good - the second one is such a cool perspective, thanx for sharing!! =D
and i can't wait to hear more about this live DVD that you're planning - this is the first time i've heard about it, i probably just missed the news earlier...

@mukta, EVERYONE
yay, the RSS feed bug is now fixed! so you'll never have that problem of old posts popping up again! (whether in feed readers, emails, or widgets)
-
Great post!!
That podcast is awesome! :D
I loved the drawing! So adorable! I know what she goes through! I went through the same to get "Nothing Is Sound".
:D
Great pictures! And what is this about a DVD? Is it available to the people overseas?
Anyways,
great job! Keep it Up!
