New Releases!

Well...Here we go, another Tuesday...another group of CD's to go and pick up! Here's the checklist for today:

[] Kutless - "It Is Well"
[] Jadon Lavik - "The Road"
[] Matthew West - "Something to Say: Christmas Edition"

Note: I added little check boxes this week so you could print this off and check them off as you purchase them! Have fun collecting them all!

Here's a short Q&A with Steve Fee of...well...Fee.

Question: You're out on tour now with MercyMe and Jonny Diaz, and already folks seem to have story after story about how "Glory to God Forever" has affected their lives. How does this song bring hope to those going through these tough economic times?
Steve: "Regardless of the economic climate, the truth about our existence remains. We are created by God. We are created for god. And we are created for worship. This song is twofold: Part declaration and part prayer. It boils down to asking God to let our lives, in the good times and bad, through seasons of peace or storms, reflect the goodness and grandness of our Father."
Nice Steve...very nice.

Sharing time! Yes, time to share something new about myself, and here it is: More times than not I enjoy live music more than recorded. Why? Because there's so much more emotion in a live performance and it can also let you in and see the raw talent the artist(s) possess.

That said, here's an exclusive performance of Building 429's "Overcome".


Awesome guys! Thanks!

Oh! Almost forgot, 2 weeks from today, "Hello Hurricane", the upcoming release from Switchfoot hits stores. I'm very excited to hear the rest of this album, and even more excited at the iTunes Deluxe version. Wait, what? iTunes Deluxe version? Oh yeah! Here's what that entails according to Switchfoot's Facebook page:
"The HELLO HURRICANE preorder on iTUNES is now live! Buy the iTunes Deluxe version now, which includes exclusive recordings of 'Mess of Me' (acoustic), 'Always' (alternate acoustic version), 'Stitches' (from Eastern Hymns for Western Shores EP), and an in-studio video of 'The Sound (John M. Perkins' Blues)'"
Oh yeah...You know I'll be doing that! Thanks Switchfoot!

One last thing before I close for the day today. Two words...Todd Agnew. If you ever meet this guy, you'll be blown away. The dude's awesome in too many ways to list, and the voice when he sings live...WOOT! Anyway...Todd recently released "Need" a couple of weeks ago and it debuted Top 20!

Well...ToddAgnew.com is doing a series of videos that give you a "Story Behind the Song" for each song on the album. They're releasing them a week at a time. This week you can catch the video for "Written on the Wall", head HERE!

Whew! Full post today I think. Test scores tomorrow...as long as the report works correctly. We'll see!
