(Edit from Phil:) Corey Vidal whose concert review we posted a few days ago emailed me the other day with some more "exclusive videos for you :)". Thanks, Corey!
He also sent us a picture of Tim and Drew goofing around in the back of Cassy's car when they gave them a ride:
Read his review here, if you haven't yet - it's not your usual concert review, his experience was a bit out of the ordinary.
A fellow blogger posted a small entry about Jon's recent performance in Nashville, and put up 2 pictures of the event:
Julie Schreiber informs us of a Facebook group she started for Andy Barron. Join up and show your love for the Barron. A while back, our frequently-commenting friends Mukta and Mabel started a Facebook group called "What is Das?!" in honor of our favorite shredder, Mr. Shirley. Join the cool kids on there too.
Oh, and, if the "Awakening" video auto-playing on this page annoys you, just turn the little volume slider on the player way down, and it'll stay muted even when you load the page later. And good work, folks, with "Week Awakening", the results are there to see, on YouTube. Also the video is everywhere else - MTV.com, VH1.com, AOL.com, Yahoo.com, name it. Keep it up! And also don't slack on the Footsoldiers assignment, fams - hit up those request lines!
Back to Gellie... --
Wooo news time! Yes, some of this is gonna be old news for some of you. But, still worth posting... First of all, since tomorrow is in fact April 28th, just a reminder that Jon will be playing at The Freedom Project (an event to benefit the International Justice Mission) in Anaheim, CA. So if you live near there and want to go check it out, you can buy tickets online OR at the door.
Item #2: If you've ever wanted to hear Drew sing onstage, or see the guys be "the whitest reggae band ever," you're definitely in luck. In observation of the fact that they were at an "Island Party" at Baylor University, they decided to modify their normal country-sounding ditty that they make up for each city they play in.
(For slightly better video from a different angle, but worse audio, view this one.)
That wasn't so bad, now, was it? Maybe they should have kept The Loser as reggae as it originally was. Heh...anyway, if you liked this song so much that you simply must have it, then thank Clifton for uploading an mp3. (But I don't know, Jon. Maybe Tim should be Sting, since he's the one wielding the bass).
Speaking of the tech-savvy bassist, here's a video in which Tim showcases his impressive recall abilities:
That's pretty good. Bass solos, Chin era material, and sausage analogies, all in one video.
Fourthly, Jon and Tim recently did an interview with Air 1 Radio, and thanks to Brittany (Mus!calSunshine on the boards), you can hear/download it here. Quite enjoyable. Stuff to think about never goes out of style.
And lastly (I do enjoy those transition words), thanks to LOBH for some scans of the May issue of CCM. There's another mention of switchfootbootlegs.com:
And an article on Jedidiah Clothing that mentions Switchfoot and has a quote from Chad:
That's all, folks! I'll leave you with a quote I saw on a Jedidiah shirt: "Where words fail, music speaks."
That performance by Jon is actually at The Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA, not Nashville. I don't know when it was but it's definetly at The Tabernacle (I saw Incubus there) and that venue is in Atlanta. You can also trace the blogger back to "Q", where he states the venue and city.
Oh, and I love Love Isn't Made. Great song. Much thanks to Corey.
*woot* for tim! I wish they'd all sing more often though...oh how I love impromptu songs! they rock, and the Toronto song by Jon just about made that night for me :D thanks for the mention phil
who here after hearing that interview with Air 1 thinks the guys should take a break for, say, half a year or so? as far as intense touring goes, at least.
I think .. if the guys want/need a break, they'll take it. They are big boys, they can handle themselves and what they're doing. It may be tough at times, but if it was too much for them, they wouldn't be doing it. I don't think it's up to any of us to say if they should be touring more or less. I would love to see them take a break (even at my expense) but that's entirely up to them and Sony, I don't think any of us need to baby them and feel sorry for them. They know what they're doing.
