Good RTB mp3's; Bad RK news

Just an initial explanation: RTB = Rock the Boat. RK = Relient K. I like to keep my titles short, so acronyms serve me well.

So as I was saying...Mp3's. If you saw Switchfoot's performance of Rock The Boat, either live or online (streamed by Hollywoodjesus.com), perhaps you wanted mp3's of the songs. Well, our good buddy, Job, made some for you! (If you didn't get to see the concert, they are still streaming it through June 30th...which I just realized is really soon. So if you want to watch it, go sign up here!) Since the online streaming cut out a few songs, there are only mp3's of:

1. Stars
2. Oh! Gravity.
3. Gone
4. This Is Your Life
5. American Dream
6. Shout-Outs
7. Dare You to Move
8. Evan Almighty Song
9. Meant to Live
10. Send-Off

Click here to download the zip file from Rapidshare. If that doesn't work, he also put it up on esnips. Thanks, Job!

And now unfortunately I have some bad news. Relient K, friends of Switchfoot and upcoming fall tour buddies, apparently had a fire on their tour bus yesterday. As this article mentions, instruments, merch, laptops and more were lost in the fire. Definitely not cool. Please keep the band in your thoughts or prayers. Hopefully something good will come of the situation.

    Wow! I'm so sorry to hear about the fire. We should all be thankful that none of them got hurt. I will definiltely pray for them. Any friends of Switchfoot are friends of mine.

    Thank you for letting us know Gellie! I hope you have a blessed day.

    P.S. Thanks you Job for the songs!

    wow! I feel bad for relient k. Glad to hear they're ok though. loosing all your stuff must really suck especially all those unfinished songs.

    my heart really goes out to the rk guys. the tour bus is their home 8-9 months out of the year so it really isn't much different than an entire home burning down. i know that would be a difficult thing to deal with.

    I could probably assume one of the words running through an RK band members head is 'Dang'.

    Thanks a lot for the songs! I will definately download them! It is SO sad to hear what happened to Relient K's tour bus. But thankfully they are okay! I hope everything turns out well for them! I'll be sure to keep them in my prayers.

    @ anthony - I could probably assume one of the words running through an RK band members head too, but it's not "dang". lol

    wow. I may not necessarily be fond of RK's music but I would never wish for something like that to happen. I'll keep them in my prayers. :)

    I'm probably the only one that is wondering what caused the fire instead of feeling sorry for the band... I know it could have been some kind of freak malfunction. But, a fire...on a tour bus? I bet they were roasting marshmallows over a lighter.

    @anonymous: u seriously care mopre about the possibilty of the rk guys roasting marshmellows over a lighter than u do about the fact they coulda died?

    thank You, Lord, for letting the guys from rk be ok, and please help Matt rewrite all the songs.
    Amen.

    God Bless u matt matt john jon and dave!

    @ died to live - a little sarcasm never hurt anyone now did it?

    @ anonymous - i would like to know what caused it too. roasting marshmellows is a very good guess. :P

    Wow. Thank God they're all alive and safe. I'll definetly keep them in my prayers. It's really amazing how Matt can keep his "wit" about him through the situation. He's a cool guy.

    Wow, I feel horrible about RK. I am just thankful Matt and the rest of the guys are okay. That only material things were lost (Although it sucks), not any lives.

    Everyone - There were rear engine problems: An eruption under the back area of the tour bus. (So no. Not roasting marshmallows ;D) Matt T was the one who spotted the flames through the back window, thankfully. The bus driver hadn't detected it yet. Definitely scarry! Glad they're all okay.

    Also
    Relient K (and Switchfoot) performed well, but the moshing / slam dancing got really bad. Some girls passed out... I'm scared that'll happen this fall tour with SF and RK.

    Anyways, yeah, the post. Thanks for the MP3s Gellie.

    @Vicky: yur right, and i have no right to criticize sarcasm since i've been known to use it myself (a lot...).
    @Anonymous: i'm sorry that i was harsh, i shouldn't comment when i'm feeling critical. i do apologize.

    From the article, it sounds like the band (at least Matt T.) is taking it well. Would you be able to post a follow-up to this entry about what we can do to send some help to RK? I'm from around the Canton OH area and would like to help get the home boys back on their feet. Thanks! ;)
