| welcome to our new blog, amigos! |
tada! Our friend Phil has been hard at work for the past month creating our new official blog. Many of you may already know him from the blog he's been running for the past year or so on his own at switchfeed.com. Well, we thought he was so good at what he does that we asked him if he would bring his skills to our home page. And so it is with much excitement (drum roll implied) that I bring you (dramatic pause, followed by a crashing cymbal)... well, the blog that you are already reading. We're thrilled that our home page will now be bringing you fresh content on an almost daily basis. And if that wasn't enough (I know, I know, it's hard to imagine anything more), you can also subscribe to be notified via email (or any RSS reader of your choice) whenever a new blog is posted. AND, you can comment and respond on each and every post. I know... sweet. Oh yes, and as I've already demonstrated with this moderately classy post of my own, we will also be using this blog to post things ourselves. Afterall, blog is the new black. Great job, phil. Many more good things to come, my friends. Thanks for being a part of the music. We love technology... but not as much as you, you see!
always and forever,
-tim

actually little switchfeed isn't that grown up. it's only like 6 months old. still in diapers.
I remember the night we named it.
-
Wow... I've known Switchfeed since it's formative times...
And it's grown to becoming the official blog of Switchfoot. WOWNESS.
And Tim posting on it too! Switchfeed has arrived for realz... haha
-
wow congrats phil - keep up the good work everyone!
-
Gellie: Even though SwitchFeed's only 6 months old it doesn't seem to be only in diapers. It's well on it's feet now!
Maybe blog years are like dog years..? It actually IS older...
;D

YAY PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! awesome :)
haha welcome to a newer world of blogging guys...i gotta ask though...is it wierd seeing videos and other reviews and such posts, etc...on your own site?
*also if you guys do read this i was wondering if in the small period of downtime that you've had if you have read *or more specifically if jon has* the little poem book i gave to you all at my show---in Buies Creek, NC...shoot me a message or something ---only if you have time, cause y'all are very busy...*
always your friend,
~*ABBEY CARR*~
oh and p.s. always praying for you and your family :D
-
congrats phil. it looks great.
-
Here's to the band that's just as much fun off tour as they are on tour. Ah...switchfoot!
And how about a big congratulations to you, Phil!!
-
Congrats switchfeed! This is amazing and very exciting:D And thanks Tim for posting :)
-
wow!! that is awesome that the bog is now on the official site!!! congratulations phil! BRAVO!
-
Congrats, but I liked switchfeed back when it was hidden in the rough. I hope it never forgets it's roots!
-
Oh. Dear. God. *dead*
Tim! That is freakin' hilarious. Way to steal Kip's wedding vows to LaShawnda from the special ending to Napoleon Dynamite.
I love technology... But not as much as you, you see....
Always and forever.... Always and forever.
*dies*
-
Aww! Switchfeed is all grown up! lol. ^_^
I'm happy to have been around to design for you guys. It's been real. =)
-
congrats phil and everyone else involved with switchfeed... this is way cool.
-
*dead* @ Mag.
Dude. Kin. You made me want to go and watch ND. Good times.
It's true! It's a true story.
Well. This blog is awesome. Thanks to Phil and...you know. Look at SF all technologically inclined! It's the new wave of the future. Like. You know. the Bionic Woman. Or something. Oh. I don't know what we're talking about.
-
Like I always say, there's nothing better than a good Napoleon Dynamite refrence!
(Also, congrats Phil!)
*eats tot*
-
-
wow Phil congrats... this is amazing... I'm very happy for you!
Tim ... we love you too!!!
-
Nice work! This blog shall be sweet indeed.
I can't wait for the Australian tour, I already have a ticket for the Youth Alive gig in Sydney, so I'll be seeing you in Melbourne and Sydney. May the force be with you!
-
This is so awesome!! I'm stoked!
Haha, I like that last part, I love technology too, thats how I got my nickname Techno Freak! :P
Love you guys!

-
this is so awesome! thank u, guys: switchfoot and all of the other people that helped make this work, especially phil.
i m a better peron cuz of sf.
i hope God blesses u everybody, as much as He's blessed me, and thru switchfoot.
"i'm not who i thought i was twenty-four hours ago, so i'm singing spirit take me up in arms with you, and your raising the dead in me..."
i really don't belong here.
-
Big congrats to Phil and Co. This is way too exciting! Yay switchFeed!
Now I finally understand what you were hinting at all that time (and why you needed that pic..)
Does anyone else find it odd that we are all replying to Phil, even though *technically* Tim made the post??...
I think I need to go watch ND, I feel like I'm missing out on some giant inside joke that the rest of society has...
-
Congrats Phil.. Great job.. Its some extraordinary perseverence paying off.. and hats off to SF on acknowledging innovation and creativity.. I see you going places, Phil..
the addition of Phil, an Indian, would bring about a new taste to the already multi-cultural composition of SF. Cheers Tim, press forth! :)
-
hey 'Katrina', don't feel bad, i haven't seen "Napoleon Dynamite" either...yet...maybe i'll go watch it too. if Tim (we luv u) quotes it then it must b pretty good.
i really don't belong here.
-
That is awesome. Congrats Phil!
(Must say from the tiny bit of ND I saw, I wasn't that impressed, but hey, everyone's got their own tastes.)
-
Very nice! I can't wait to see how this goes. Nice work Phil and everyone on the SF team!
-
Congrats switchfeed. I'm glad your tireless work has paid dividends!
-
I'm so used to checking switchfeed, but now, I'm checking switchfoot.com just for the thrill.
Phil...awesome as always
@ gellie, I know it must be hard to see the little blog grow up so fast, but I think it's ready for this next challenge.
It's doing great so far, and I think the new colours look rad :D
-
oh, my gosh i think i just might be dead! *screams* no, I'm alive!!!!
OH PHil! oh Switchfeed! OH YAY!
-
How exciting!!! This basically rocks my socks!! Congrats Phil!!!
-
-
OMG!!!!

This is sweet :D
-

-
Hey Switchfoot. You guys are so awesome. You've changed my life. I just had a question. When are you guys coming back to Utah?! I love your concerts and I want to go to another one.
-
Congrats Phil! This is so Sweet.
-
I LOVE YOU SWITCHFOOT!!! Keep it up... add more shows in the Midwest... we think you're pretty sly!
-
Hey Phil, I'm so happy for you! You're doing great things here and I know you'll continue to do so! Congrats to you and those involved!!!
-
-
Congrats Phil & everyone else on the sfeed team! I first found out about sfeed from Tim's myspace blog a while back. Now it's really cool to see it on the sf homepage.
Keep up the great work!
P.S. The one downside of the new site is that the links on the sidebar open in a new window. Does anyone else have that problem?
-
-
This is awsome Phil! Congrats! I bet you are totally pumped! We are so proud of Switchfeed! :)
-
-
Yay! Thanks you guys for everything!! Congrats Phil!!
-
This is amazing!! I gotta say congrats Phil, I always go on switchfeed and LOBH, those sites are amazing!!
Thanks for posting this Tim!!
I love you guys sooo much!!
-
Switchfoot: I hope you guys come to Rams Head again or somewhere near VA again!! I soooo loved your show at Rams Head!! Even though Tim wasn't there...:(
I so wanted to meet you guys!!
Hopefully see you dudes on tour!!
You gotta have the MASTERS in Virginia!!
-
Wow, look at all the posters. Almost as much as the de-lurking post achieved. Keep 'em coming.
Congrats phil and pholks.
-
Oh wow. Congrats, Switchfeed.
Hi Tim =) ::waves::
-
totally cool! congrats phil!
hey Tim!! and the rest of the guys: Jon, Chad, Romey and Drew!!
-
Wow, this is awesome!! Great Job Phil! :)
-
QUESTION FOR YOU SIR PHILEMON THOMAS!!
(Sorry about the caps but i need to get your attention)
I'm curious, will everything on switchfeed be on switchfoot.com?? or are you gonna filter out some stuff like MOTW? cause it'll be kinda weird no??
-
-
yeup arpit...I think SO
:D
-
I would mention the Napoleon Dynamite thing, but everyone else has covered that rock solid. I was just thinking five minutes ago that I had to check switchfeed before I went to bed. And, WOW! Why didn't I check it during yesterday's two hours of internet surfing?
-
Hey guys! Thank you sooo much for everything! You are all appreciated very much. I have been 3 of your amazing concerts. My friend Jessie and I were the ones at the St. Joseph concert with the "I CHALLENGE YOU TO GUITAR HERO 2" poster, yeah..anyhoo thank you much for inspiring me everyday and keeping me loving life. Me and Jessie and I and I know both of our families keep you all in our prayers. Keep doing what Christ has called you to do and doing it so well. God Bless
-
-
mabel, he posted on the official boards that only switchfoot related things would go on switchfoot.com. all motw and things like that would be filtered out.
-
I challenge you, phil, to reply to every single comment on this post.
-
WooHoo!!!!!! wicked stuff guys. i guess im new here (first post and all) but ya great job and good luck!
PS
@ SF... u guys gotta come back to the northern states, or even back to canada woohoo!!!!
-
@ Christina- I was wondering if he would attempt to do that... I double dare you to do it Phil! (who could turn down a double dare?!?)
-
triple dog dare u phil!
and maybe im just being slow but what r LOBH and MOTW??
thank u ppls. ;)
much luvs.
-
LOBH = Land of broken hearts, found here: http://www.freewebs.com/landofbrokenhearts/index.htm
MOTW = mp3 of the week
-
MOTW is a weekly feature on switchfeed.com put on by Arpit Mehta that showcases new and/or unheard artists. Well, it's supposed to be weekly but lately Arpit has been slackin'. (sorry just had to bug you, Arpit)
LOBH is another great sf fansite with lots of cool stuff.
-
Woow... congratulations Phil!
I think it's a great honor to do that..Woow (i'm a little bit jealous) But now at this moment I'm very happy for you.. This site I watched every day the last months.. It's handy for information about Switchfoot :D Thanks for that.. I'm not stopping to read it on switchfoot.com i'll promise:P
It's a long story..:p
Have a great time to do it!
-
thank u nat! and faye!
i jesusfreakhideout-ed swithcfoot last night and found LOBH...cant believe it took me that long.
"the hairflip is something that just can't be taught." tim talking about fwipping his hair. too awesome. ;)
-
This is why Switchfoot amazes me. It's one of the things that really struck me about the members of this fantastic band. They don't "take themselves too seriously." They don't believe they are mightier than their fans, they just jump in there and get involved. It almost makes them...more elite. *sigh* Thanks Phil! You're awesome. And so is Tim. And Jon. And Chad. And Jerome. And Drew. And stuff. And vague references.
-
heey Phil!! im so glad for you!!
this is so awesome!! sure you'll rock!!
congrats!
and you guys of Switchfoot... i have no words... what a gift!!
you're really amazing guys. This is one of the reasons that you inspire me!
keep doing your wonderful job!
hope to c ya in Lat. America
someday!
stay classy
;**
-
holy comments batman!
this is insane.
three cheers for switchfeed, and infinite amounts for the 'feet themselves...
what exciting adventures will come next?!
keep on being amazing guys
and i'm totally loving the colour scheme on this site too =]
-
