Riverside homeless man gives up street life, street music

2009-05-11T23:19:00.000-07:00

Bluitt Williams Andrews taps his foot and tightens his lips.
His fretting hand moves up and down the neck of his black and white Fender Squier Stratocaster.
Andrews, who goes by his stage name Andrew Blue, rises from his chair for a bluesy, improvised riff intertwined with a saxophone for "The Busy Woman's Blues."
It's the last practice for the Riverside City College Laboratory Jazz Ensemble before today's performance at the school's jazz festival.
Fellow student guitarist Matthew Humphrey gives him a fist bump.
"Andrew, that's better. A lot more of you in there," says director James Rocillo.
This moment marks a big step forward for Andrews, 56, who has been homeless most of the past eight years.
He had been sleeping near a flower shop on Mary Street when Riverside's Homeless Outreach Team persuaded him to move indoors. He now lives in a two-room apartment and signed up to take the laboratory jazz ensemble class.

Dance Like David -- Rock Like Peter :: 2 Ultimate Christian Music Events for December 2006

2006-11-19T04:32:00.000-08:00

Dear Friends:

I need your prayers!

Last Nov. 7, I discovered from my Mom that Dad was diagnosed with
terminal lung cancer. Doctors say he has 6 months. The news broke my
heart but then Mom told me that when Dad found out, he said: "The
Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want." I am so comforted by that and
I cling to it when the sadness comes.

Dad is 94 years old. 95 if he makes it to June 14 next year. To be honest,
I don't know exactly what to pray for considering his age.
Although I am unsure about what to ask God for,
I am certain that I need you to help me pray.

To help my family, I'm organizing 2 fundraising events:

1) "Rock Like Peter" - a rock concert
Featuring Barbie, Rocksteddy, Imago etc.
Tuesday, Dec. 5 at Gweilo's Eastwood
Tickets – P200

2) "Dance Like David" - A dance party
featuring DJs Benjo Marquez, Chip dela Calzada
and silverfilter
Friday, Dec. 8 at Absinthe, GB3
Tickets – P200

Please check out the flyer attached. Or go here <a
href="http://www.friendster.com/viewphotos.php?p=e&pid=0&rid=724380954&uid=35142519">Invitation
to Attend</a>

Meantime, here's a list of what I need:

1) Prayers for my Dad (Chuck Burton)
my Mom (Delia)'s provision and successful fund-raising

2) Sponsors for food and drinks.
If you know Jollibee/MacDonald's/KFC/Nestea/Coke etc.,
Please put me in touch with them.
Food donations go to the performers.

3) Cash Donations are much appreciated.

4) Buy tickets / help me sell tickets

5) Raffle Prizes
Gift Certificates, Cellphones, Cool Items…

If you think you can help, please contact me at 0922.360.9686 or at
8107151. Thank you!

Much love,

Joyce Burton Titular

New number for United Live /Manila reservations

2006-10-13T02:06:00.000-07:00

There's a new number for reservation in the Hillsong United in Manila
tickets...please text this number instead of the old number from the
last email: 09218549905

Hillsong United in Manila...? YES!

2006-10-02T23:00:00.000-07:00

You've been singing their songs. You may not know it, but you have,
you are. And singing them always gives you that energetic feeling,
where you just want to jump up and down and dance and even kneel down
and just praise God for being who He is in your life.

You've probably waited on their CDs, waiting for them to be released
here. You've watched their videos, moved at the sight of thousands of
people raising their hands up in the air in surrender to God. You've
marveled at their band, at how flawless they sound, at how they could
play their instruments like that.

You've probably been through a lot praisefests and worships before,
but you've probably always wondered how it felt to be there with the
band who wrote and first sang the songs you are singing. You've
probably wished and dreamed of going to where they are from, and fully
experience what it feels like to sing and pray in a worship that they
led.

And you've most probably wish they'd visit the country, and you're
definitely sure that you'll be there if ever they do.

Well, stop wishing and dreaming because this is your chance to worship
with them!

HILLSONG UNITED IN MANILA
November 21, 2006 (Tuesday)
8:00 pm
Rizal Stadium (behind DLSU)
Tickets: P800, P700, P550, P400

Reserve tickets through: 6330596/09209453779

SOME QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT ASK AND ANSWERS YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW:
(Note that this FAQ are questions we asked the organizers in behalf of
all the other people who might ask the same questions so as you won't
have to ask them anymore. Since this isn't done by organizers, some
information may not be complete. You may want to ask again, but that
depends on you. :p)

Is this for real? This is not a joke, as in?
> Yes, it is for real. No joke. Try calling the number and ask if you're still doubtful. :)

Where is Rizal Stadium, exactly?
> Rizal Stadium is located behind De La Salle University - Manila in Taft Avenue. You ride the LRT1 to Vito Cruz, go down and walk AWAY from La Salle, turn right at Torre Lorenzo, walk until you get to the entrance of Rizal Stadium. We're still not sure WHERE in Rizal Stadium it's going to be held, basta it's there. :P

How many people from the Hillsong United team are coming? Who are they?
> According to the organizers, 14 people are coming from the United team. We're not sure who they are though. I guess we'll see on November 21. :)

November 21 is a Tuesday? Why can't it be scheduled on a Friday or
Saturday night?
> That we do not know. :( We think it's because the Philippines is a part of their Asian tour, and we're guessing that right after their event here, they'll be off to another place in Asia.
>

Are there any reserved seats? Or is it first come first served?
> As far as we know, the P800 tickets are reserved seating.

I watched Steven Curtis Chapman last May and I remember there's some
sort of Hillsong United promo there. Is that true?
> Yes, it's true! If you watched the Steven Curtis Chapman concert in Manila last May and you still have your ticket, you can avail of the promo for Hillsong United in Manila tickets.
>

Cool! So how do I avail of the promo?
> Call the number above and set an appointment to redeem your ticket. 1 SCC ticket = 1 P800 Hillsong United Ticket. If you bought a P1000 SCC ticket, you get your ticket for free! However, if you bought a P750 or P500 SCC ticket, you'd have to pay the additional balance for a P800 Hillsong United ticket.
>

That is just SO cool. Can I get the ticket now?
> Redeeming of SCC tickets start on October 15 up to October 30. :)

But what if I bought a P1000 SCC ticket and I want to buy 2 P400
Hillsong United ticket...is that possible?
> Nope. 1 SCC ticket = 1 P800 Hillsong United ticket.
>

Any group discount? Early buyer discount? Whatever discount?
> Nope, no discount. The tickets are actually quite cheap, if you look at it. :P (FLASHBACK: Patron tickets for Reuben Morgan last June 2005 at the Araneta Coliseum is P1500...this time it's only P800!)

Where do I reserve tickets?
> In case you missed that BIG number up there...you may call 6330596 or 09209453779 to reserve your tickets. :D
>

Where do I claim the tickets?
> You can get your tickets at 2905 Cityland Shaw Tower, Shaw corner Meralco Avenue. It's near EDSA Shangrila Hotel.
>

---

So far that's it! If there are any more questions, you may call them
and if you would, share the answer with the people who you know will
be watching. Somekindalike a community effort, you know? :P

THIS IS THE WORSHIP EVENT OF THE YEAR! You HAVE to be there! There's
more than a month for us to save money for tickets and such, so tell
all your friends! :) Let's all show how Filipinos can rock a stadium
through praise and worship! :D And who knows, maybe your attendance
would make them want to come back. ;)

God bless!

P.S. Apologies to those who will be getting this more than once.

P.P.S. Feel free to pass this email to interested groups. :)

iHero 2006 musical features the return of BOB FARRELL of FARRELL & FARRELL!

2006-09-29T02:51:00.000-07:00

Think of it as 'Broadway meets video game' and drop contemporary
Christian music's hippest black rocker—platinum selling Michael Tait
of dcTalk fame—into the center of the mix for the starring role in
!Hero—returning in live concert for a 2006 run.

The cast, aside from Michael Tait:
Anadara Arnold as Maggie; (you gotta hear her songs, she's goood!)
Ryan Edgar as Agent Hunter;
Michael Quinlan as Jude;
Donnie Lewis as Mama;
Marshall Mcluhan as Petrov;
Jason Eskidge as Kai;
Playdough as Jairus;
Shannon Bain as Devlin;
Bob Farrell as Governor Pilate.

Bob Farrell bears dual roles: That onstage of portraying wheelchair
bound Governor Pilate—and offstage of being the production's director.

The premise of !Hero is a simple one:

"What If He Were Born in Bethlehem... Pennsylvania?"

The stark reality of what that might look like: An African American
Jesus with dreadlocks being crudely crucified on a street sign in New
York ( Jesus is portrayed by Tait); a Judas that kills himself with a
.45 caliber bullet to the head; and a drug addicted, tarot card
reading "girl of the streets" updating the role of Mary Magdalene.

A 21 member cast floods the stage amid the fervent blast of rock music
and video screens constantly flashing a litany of high tech images and
pulsating graphics.

Noted Tait in a recent interview: "This production struck a chord with
me from the very first time I read the script. I knew I had to be
involved. People for years have tried to put a 'face' on what they
believe in and this expereience will definitely stretch your thoughts
about the Jesus you knew growing up. It has stretched me to new levels
artistically and spiritually and I'm passionate to be back on the road
with a message as timely as that of !Hero."

The question was instantly posed of !Hero: 'Have we finally gone too
far in reaching the MTV generation with the gospel?' The controversy
centered around !Hero only seemingly served to attract major crowds
and wide praise from critics. !Hero started initially as one man's
creative dream.

Personal note:
iHero is the brainchild of Eddie DeGarmo and Bob Farrell. Now I wish
the husband and wife team would release another album--or maybe modern
bands --PLEASE MAKE A TRIBUTE album! Alt-version? classical version?
Metal Version Anything Farrell & Farrell! Please!

First Switchfoot single out: Needful hands...

2006-09-29T02:42:00.000-07:00

First Switchfoot single out: "Needful hands..."
Oh, that's a Jars of Clay song! I meant "Dirty Second Hands"

A letter (again) from the Switchfoot boys:

The day has finally come. "What day?" you may ask. Well, today we
released our first new album track, "dirty second hands", from our new
album "Oh! gravity."
<a href="http://www.rhapsody.com/switchfoot/dirtysecondhands">LISTEN HERE</a>

Lyrics are worth reading because after DOWNLOADING the song (I know
some of you will)--you might forget to see its message!

dirty 2nd hands:

Please don't be so naive
You know you're not fooling anyone
You're not as tough as you think
The dirty second hands, the dirty second hands

Can't get nothing for free
It becomes so predictable
You start fighting to breathe
The dirty second hands, the dirty second hands

Here's the face of everything that breaks you down
But now you face the face of everything that breaks you down

With an army of me
We invent our own enemies
Never sees a machine
The dirty second hands, the dirty second hands

In the land of the free
And the home of the remedy
The old clock is a thief
With dirty second hands, with dirty second hands

Here's the face of everything that breaks you down
Now you face the face of everything that breaks you down

Are you really as tough as you think you blink and you're over the brink,
you bleed but the blood runs pink with dirty second hands,
dirty second hands.

You're not quite as tough as you thought
you bought the American rod the very seed that you thought you shot
with dirty second hands,
dirty second hands.

You might be right the fight might be right inside you the blind
leading the lied to so
(leave a comment if the lyrics are wrong)

The song is now available through all online music providers for less
than a buck.
We chose to release this song early because Christmas is too long to
wait, and we're really excited about this track... we hope you like it
too. It gives a glimpse into the raw and energetic approach we took
with this new album, and we can't wait to see what you guys think.

Also, stay tuned for the release of our first single, "Oh! gravity" in
mid-October. The new album comes out the day after Christmas, Dec. 26,
and soon we'll be pre-selling the record at upcoming shows, and
online, including a free 3-song EP of unreleased material.

We'll even try and get them to you in time for Christmas*, before they
hit stores! Hope to see you on our fall tour,

love and respect amigo-gos,

Skillet: Its okay to tell us repeatedly about how our songs influenced you!

2006-09-29T02:25:00.000-07:00

Letter from John Cooper of Skillet:

Hey Panheads and Skillet friends!

We have a number one single on radio with our new song "Rebirthing"!
Thanks to everyone for being so supportive and encouraging about our
new music.

We have been playing concerts and talking to fans after shows, and
there have been so many awesome conversations and testimonies, and
people who have been affected by our music. People usually start those
conversations with,

"I know you hear this a lot, but...".

Let me assure you that we LOVE to hear how our music has helped
someone through a hard time, or how God used it to change your life in
some way.

Just a week ago, we received an email from a fan who was in the
process of making a bad decision and involved in some major sin, and
when he heard the song "Rebirthing" on the radio he instantly made a
decision to change his life and not continue in whatever sin that may
have been.

He described it almost as a "rebirth" in his life with God. That is
amazing to me!

(continued)
-John Cooper, Skillet lead vocals, now on secular radio and record bars.

Sonicflood will release an intl concert album + 2 new songs + 2 mtv

2006-09-18T23:11:00.000-07:00

INO Records announces SONICFLOOd's October 31st release of Glimpse: Live Recordings From Around The World, a project that was recorded from concerts in Thailand to Ireland this past year. In addition to the internationally recorded album, SONICFLOOd, the forefathers of modern worship, will be embarking on a nationwide tour with the International Missions Board, which began last week in Charleston, South Carolina and will continue hitting more than 60 venues and 23 states.

"Its time for God's people to know that they are a part of something so huge and so wonderful and that right now we have brothers and sisters on the other side of the planet that love us and are praying for us," explains frontman Rick Heil.

"When we went overseas this summer we had a chance to record the sounds of every crowd we worshiped with, and then blended them together to create a symphony of praise...it's beautiful! On top of sonically recording the concerts, we brought along an HD camera to capture the sights of putting this kind of extensive project together."

Glimpse: Live Recordings From Around The World captures the spirit and passion that this pioneering modern worship band has for global missions. The live recording includes fan favorites : "Your Love Goes On Forever," "Cry Holy," "Open the Eyes of My Heart" and "I Want to Know You."

Glimpse also features two new studio recordings from SONICFLOOd ("Infinite Love" and "Save Me") as well as a bonus DVD including the making of Glimpse and two music videos for "Everlasting" and "This Generation."

Since their last studio project released in 2005 (This Generation), SONICFLOOd has been traveling worldwide to reach all generations to issue a call to rise up and share your faith. They have performed in Australia, Brazil, India, Ireland, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, Bahamas, Thailand and Turkey.

Plumb ..lulaby album..now that's unique! lets see mainstream music follow this!

2006-09-18T23:02:00.000-07:00

In May, Plumb announced a new project on the horizon... a new baby! Also, just recently, the artist and mother-to-be for the second time had announced a new album in the works. The follow up to Chaotic Resolve is set to be an all-lullaby project. Tiffany wrote in a recent blog on MySpace, "I started today back in the studio writing for a lullaby record I'm releasing. I plan on... recording it in August and September... The lullaby album doesn't have a release date... but I'm stoked about it. It'll be me, but more along the lines, since it's a lullaby record, of my song 'Phobic' or 'Jekyll and Hyde' ...very mellow. So even if you aren't a Mom or Dad with kids, I'm hoping the record turns out mature and creative and artistic and a great novel record to own for adults that their babies and kids can enjoy. I'm not familiar with anything like that out there... so I'm hoping for its success. If its out by Xmas, it might be a great gift for anyone you know with children... hint hint." Plumb is finished touring for 2006, with her last date being cancelled yesterday due to torrential rains in New Jersey. For the latest from the pop/rock artist and a few amusing stories about her experiences with her first baby Solomon, visit her spot on MySpace.com or her official site, Plumbinfo.com.

Derek Webb (prev. Cadmeon's Call): Who said you can't download my music for free ?

2006-08-27T20:36:00.000-07:00

Derek Webb: Who said you can't download my music for free ?

Did you watch the CSI "Kid Rock" episode the other night? In that show, Kid Rock gave a pre-

release CD to his driver to distribute on the 'net. - secretly. All Hush hush. Well, this is the real life --and legal version of that.

A letter from Derek Webb (previously of Cadmeon's Call):

ilove music. i have grown up with music as a close confidant. and i believe in the power of music to move people. there's something remarkable about the way a Melody can soften someone to a new idea.

as an artist (and often an AGITATOR), this is something i am keenly aware of. my most recent record 'mockingbird' deals with many sensitive issues including Poverty, War, and the Basic Ethics by which we live and deal with others. but i found that music has been an exceptional means by which to get this potentially difficult conversation going. and this is certainly an important moment for dialogue amongst people who DISAGREE about how to best love and take care of people, to get into the nuances of the issues.

one of the things that excites me most about the future of our business is how easy it is becoming to deliver music to people who want to hear it. i heard a story once about Keith Green CARING SO MUCH THAT PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO HEAR and engage with his music that HE GAVE IT AWAY FOR FREE, which was a very difficult and expensive thing to do at that time. it's actually never been as simple as it is today to connect music with music fans. and i want people to have a chance to listen to mockingbird and engage in the conversation.

so this is why, on September 1st, we're launching HTTP:\\WWW.FREEDEREKWEBB.com, (freederekwebb DOT com) a place where anyone can go online and not just hear but actually download, keep, and share 'mockingbird' completely for free. In addition, freederekwebb.com will give you an opportunity to invite your friends to download 'mockingbird' in order to get them in on the conversation as well.

we hope this BOLD campaign will provide a jumping off point for conversations about all of these issues, and communicate my commitment to playing my part in starting them. so please help us spread the word: on september 1st, 'mockingbird' will be set free!

Oh gravity

2006-08-23T00:57:00.000-07:00

From the letdown to nothing, now everything is STILL going down.
Oh Gravity! by Switchfoot, their latest effort. Soon to purchased, ripped to mp3 and shared incessantly over the web, usb drives, memory sticks and burned CDs! The purchased CD? Its at home, somewhere, I haven't taken a look at it since I ripped it. : )

Here's a letter from the guys..and if you haven't seen how hard they worked on Oh, Gravity! - ready your DSL connection, install Itunes and download their large video album production podcasts! There's some time lapse photography here --to let you feel so bad you simply didn't buy the Switchfoot TShirts (online!) while you were copying their songs!

On to the letter:

Hello Friends,

So much going on around here, a blur of creativity with album artwork and final sonic tweaks on the new songs. We have several announcements concerning the new album. First we must recognize a very important guest musician who will be laying down the final musical contribution this week... congratulations to Sarah Mooridian the winner of the cowbell contest! For those of you who have been following the podcasts you probably already know that the title of the new album is Oh! Gravity. It may be a little early to be thinking about Christmas but we're already counting down the days because the new album release date is set for December 26. We'll preview some of the new music on our site very soon and you'll be able to pre-order the album as well. We can't wait to get out and start playing these new songs live so we are planning a fall U.S. tour in October/November. Stay tuned for tour details.

-Jon, Tim, Chad,Jerome, and Drew

How you can personally help Jars of Clay. : )

Jars Team,

Happy Wednesday...we hope everyone is having a great week and enjoying what is left of the summer! The official countdown has begun, 27 days until "Good Monsters" hits stores! The start of this countdown also means that we need your help!

How can you help spread the word? Well, we are glad you asked. We realize that some of you don't have much spare time depending on if you work, go to school, hang out with your kids, etc...so we want to throw out a couple of ways you can help in a huge way that will only take ten minutes out of your day! (Of course if you have tons of spare time...disregard my "ten minutes max") Check it out.....

1. Are you online daily? Do you have a myspace page? Do you hang out on messageboards? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this little way to help is for you. We have created some awesome "Good Monsters" buddy icons, banners, and wallpapers! Download Here: http://www.jarsofclay.com/downloads/. Pick out a buddy icon and spread the word about the new record while you are chatting, download one of the online banners...throw it up on your myspace page, use it as your signature on messageboards/emails....both are easy to do and tghe best part is it only takes a couple of minutes!

2. Do you email daily? Do you keep in touch with friends/family through email? Do you like to be one of the first ones to tell your friends/family about new music? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this way to help has your name all over it. One thing we realize is taht one of the best ways to tell people about Jars and "Good Monsters" is to let their fans do the talking for us...which means you guys, because you guys have been so amazing and so supportive...we feel who better to tell other people and spread the music in their direction than you guys! One of the easiest ways to go about this is to take ten minutes, sit down, and write a little email to your friends, family, co-workers, and anybody else you can think of that would dig Jars. What you put in the email is up to you...but some details to throw in: "Good Monsters" hits stores Sept 5th, www.good-monsters.com, and www.jarsofclay.com, and then whatever you want to add.

There you have it...two ways that are a huge help to the guys but that are easy and don't take all day! Keep checking your email weekly...we are going to be sending out an email each week leading up to release day!

A couple things to be in the know about (just in case you don't already):
*Mini Monsters EP out NOW! Three brand new Jars tunes available wherever fine digital music is sold(iTunes, Sony Connect, Urge, Rhapsody, Passalong, Buy.com, MSN Music, and Yahoo Music). Tracklisting: "Work" "Dead Man (Carry Me)" and "Love Me"

*You can Pre-order "Good Monsters" now! Check out MusiChristian.com ( http://www.musichristian.com/refer/jars/PRODUCT=169471) or FamilyChristian.com ( http://www.familychristian.com/shop/product.asp?prodID=15382). If you pre-order the record you also get an autographed copy of the cover and the ability to stream the record instantly!

*Good Monsters Videos! Check out four short videos that the guys did for the release of "Good Monsters"...check out YouTube
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi2qqkt5FzM "> Video #1 </a>,
<a href=" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJJHc_z5hDI"> Video #2 </a>,
<a href=" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjgNziA8_hA"> Video #3 </a>,
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlnN3-Lqoc4"> Video #4 </a><br><br>

*You may have already been hearing a couple of the new songs on your local radio station. Over the new few weeks, we are going to be updating the websites with a list of all the radio stations in the country that should be playing either "Dead Man (Carry Me)" or "Work". We need your help! If you are hearing the song(s), please call or email you local station(s) and tell them that you love it and to keep playing it! If your local station(s) is not playing the song(s), we need you to tell them you want to hear it!

*Aside from some festival dates coming up in the near future, the guys will be on the road for most of the fall. For most of October, they will be joined by two wonderful artist you should definitely know about: Matt Wertz ( http://www.mattwertz.com) and Leigh Nash ( http://www.leighnash.com). Once we have all the dates finalized, we will send out full information, including where to get tickets. In the meantime, keep checking the website for updates and all current confirmed dates.

Stay Tuned...next week we will be sending out a little message form the guys that you don't want to miss! And as always thanks so much for your love and support!

BarlowGirl Interview [Interviewed 5 06 2006]

2006-07-06T18:47:00.000-07:00

MusicFaith.com's Exclusive

Fervent recording artist BarlowGirl has been on fire lately! We very recently got to ask them some questions about what they're about and various things that have been going on in Barlow land. Enjoy!

[Music Faith] First up, can you tell me about the "BarlowGirl" message, what do you strive fans will get out of your music/lyrics?
[BARLOWGIRL] Our main message is don't conform to this world it is based on Romans 12:2 We want to challenge people to consider why they make choices and to really find out what is God's way for their life.

[Music Faith] Has all the attention from places like, Yahoo Music, surrounding BarlowGirl, helped or changed the way you've portrayed your message any differently than before?
[BARLOWGIRL] No we decided that no matter what door God opens our message would stay the same. We have told people if they want a watered down message they need to find someone else. We fear God more than we fear man.

[Music Faith] I saw you earlier this year at my church, Crossroads Comm. in Vancouver, WA, on the RSJ tour. I felt kind of out of place, considering most of the crowd was younger girls. Do you think that a majority of guys avoid you, simply because you're an all female act?
[BARLOWGIRL] We do get a lot of girls at our shows but there are a lot of guys who really support us it is really annoying that people would say to a guy "you listen to chick bands"

It's even more annoying that guys would care what other people think. We want to not be known as a "good girl band" or "you're good for a girl." We want to be known as a good band.

[Music Faith] I found it interesting that you recently filmed a music video for "Never Alone" after you've already put out another album and you've filmed videos for songs off the newer album. What compelled you to come back to "Never Alone" and film the music video?
[BARLOWGIRL] First of all "Never Alone" is still the song more than any other that people talk to us about how much it touched them. We have always wanted to do a video of it

Warner Brothers who owns our label has some people who really believe in "Never Alone" and felt it has a message for mainstream. Plus our friend Eric Welch had a vision for the video and agreed to do the project. He is amazing.

[Music Faith] Did anything crazy happen on the set while filming?
[BARLOWGIRL] Not crazy just strange we filmed at an old abandoned hospital in Nashville some of the buildings we over 100 yrs old so the scenes you see are shot inside and outside of the hospital. It was a little creepy.

[Music Faith] A while back Superchic[k] wrote a song about you; how did they find out about you and your message?
[BARLOWGIRL] We met at a concert in Wisconsin in 1999 at their first show and our first show. They saw our purity rings and started asking questions, we got along great and became friends 3 months later max called and said they had a song for us, they played it for us and we freaked out. It really encouraged us to stand stronger for purity.

[Music Faith] Another Journal Entry is going to be re-released with cool new songs and features August 29^th. Do you have any plans for a new record after the re-release?
[BARLOWGIRL] We are writing songs for a new CD that will be released in August of 07.

[Music Faith] What songs do you enjoy playing live?
[BARLOWGIRL] All of them but especially Never Alone and Average Girl.

[Music Faith] Out of those who you've toured with, who do you like to tour with the most?
[BARLOWGIRL] We liked all of them; Todd Agnew, TOBY MAC, MAtthew West, Starfield, Building 429, Stellar Kart, Kutless, David Nassar, Newsboys, Silars Bald, GRITZ, John Rueben. They all rock.

[Music Faith] Also in terms of touring; if you could pick anyone to tour with, that hasn't toured with you in the past, who would it be?

[BARLOWGIRL] Jeremy Camp, David Crowder, Chris Tomlin, Bethany Dillon.

[Music Faith] Have you pulled any crazy jokes while on tour with any other bands?
[BARLOWGIRL] Yes but we can't really talk about it, it was one of those you had to be there to think it was funny.

[Music Faith] What do you do for fun? On the bus, at home etc.
[BARLOWGIRL] On the bus; watch movies, play hide and seek, play speed, scrabble. At home; hang out with the nieces and nephew, shop.

[Music Faith] Thanks for answering our questions! Do you have any last comments for the www.musicfaith.com viewers?
[BARLOWGIRL] Come see us in concert we would love to meet you.

Jars, baseball,Salvador, Pillar, Free Downloads *again?! The Edge

2006-06-30T01:51:00.000-07:00

<a href="http://shirtorskin.com/">"Shirt or Skin"</a> -- a source of free mp3 downloads plus funny banners.

If you have an Itunes US Account :: look for Nettwerks's "Indoor Picnic Music" 4 USD Sampler CD for a new song by Jars of Clay and Leigh Nash etc.

Jars of Clay has joined forces with minor league baseball's Nashville Sounds for the team's Faith Night series. The Sounds have partnered with the rockers' Blood:Water Mission organization, for which they will raise funds during a June 27 game against the Memphis Redskins. The funds will be used to build a clean-water well for an African community. Jars will perform an hour before the 7 p.m. game at Greer Stadium. Look for the band's seventh project, Good Monsters, on September 5.

After a two-year absence from recording, hard rockers Pillar have posted a new song, "Everything," on their <a href="http://www.purevolume.com/pillar">PureVolume</a > and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/pillar">MySpace</a> pages. The track is the first single from their forthcoming fourth album, The Reckoning, which the quartet expects to release on October 4. According to recent postings, there are also plans for an EP and a tour.

Latin pop/rock powerhouse Salvador will release its fifth studio album, Dismiss the Mystery, on August 29. Co-produced by frontman Nic Gonzalez and keyboardist Chris Bevins, the album was recorded at Willie Nelson's renowned Pedernales Studio and co-penned by Gonzalez and songwriting buffs <b>Cindy Morgan, Matt Bronleewe, Chris Rodriguez, and Jason Ingram</b>. "With this album we had an opportunity to change our style and alter our sound," said Gonzalez, only to add, "[but] we chose not to."

Now for some shocking news.

Hey! What if you could listen to Christian Music everyday on FM radio...in Manila?

Tomorrow. July 1, Saturday, yes 2006!

Get ready.

Hi. This is Jomar. This is a project that has been brewing for 2 years now.

A long time ago, there was a 1hour Christian Rock Music show on Nu107 FM called Against the Flow. Its still there - at 1pm on Sunday.

But what we really wanted was a commercial radio station on FM - that plays good music both musically and in lyrical content. Not just the removal of "cursing" and "booty talk". More than that - messages that actually encourage, pick you up, help you live Abundantly.

Its time this happened. Its time people plug in the messages of God into their brains, even if subliminally. Why not? Everybody else who has a product to sell wants to do that.

Starting this Saturday, July 1 @ 6pm-July 2 @6am --You can now tune in to 91.5 FM and listen to a completely NEW set of music. This is music I grew up with. Some people will find that funny, maybe strange, me being radically Catholic and all - but for some - that's perfectly normal.

It may be called "Christian Music" - with all its accompanying negative vibes - but wait till you listen to it. The songs have been carefully selected, even the sequence. Its professional radio through-and-through -helmed by the person who helped kick start NU107 in its heydey - Ron Titular.

Manila is in for a blast!

This is not mellow music, this is not gregorian chants. This is Jars of Clay, Lifehouse, Switchfoot, POD, Pillar, Stacie Orico, Rachael Lampa, and so much more --bands you've never heard of - but should be heard! We're not playing all their songs - only those who pass a certain kind of quality.

Its time for something REALLY new.

Ang gaganda ng messages ng songs nila. Positive, thoughtful at ang
music..very catchy! Minsan masaya "Gone", minsan malakas ang impact
"Dare You To Move"., minsan wants to make you believe na "There this
hope in life". Kaya siguro nagustuhan sila ni Mandy Moore's group for
"A Walk To Remember".

Lyrics to "Stars"

2005-10-10T03:13:00.000-07:00

"Stars" Lyrics
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: Nothing Is Sound
Year: 2005
Title: Stars

Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same

I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain

I've been thinking about everyone, everyone
You look so lonely

But when I look at the stars, when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Stars looking at a planet, watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder
How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking about the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent begin to look like home
I've been thinking about everyone, everyone you look so empty

But when I look at the stars, when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Everyone, everyone feels so lonely
Everyone yeah everyone feels so empty

When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
I feel like myself
When I look at the stars
The stars
I see someone

switchfoot "horrified' that you can't copy your "Nothing is sound" into your mp3 players.

2005-09-19T11:49:00.000-07:00

Hello friends,
my heart is heavy with this whole copy-protection thing. Many PC users
have posted problems that they have had importing the new songs
(regular disc only, not the dual disc) into programs such as Itunes.
Let me first say that as a musician AND as a music fan, I agree with
the frustration that has been expressed. We were horrified when we
first heard about the new copy-protection policy that is being
implemented by most major labels, including Sony (ours), and
immediately looked into all of our options for removing this from our
new album. Unfortunately, this is the new policy for all new major
releases from these record companies. It is heartbreaking to see our
blood, sweat, and tears over the past 2 years blurred by the confusion
and frustration surrounding this new technology. It is also
unfortunate when bands such as ourselves, Foo Fighters, Coldplay,
etc... (just a few of the new releases with copy protection) are the
target of this criticism, when there is no possible way to avoid this
new industry policy.

For mac users these songs should import seamlessly. We are told that
itunes is co...

Completely dangerous & radical letter from Tai of Third Day ...about Critics, Culture and "Christian Country Clubs"! MUST READ!

2005-08-31T01:13:00.000-07:00

A Message from Tai of the Rock Band "Third Day"

Hey Everyone,

We're out here on the road working hard on tour. It's street week. So, we're hitting it hard. We've been doing morning radio, interviews, autograph signings, television, and, oh Yeah! Big Ole Concerts every night.

Last night, Mac, Mark, and I got on the bus and were reading through some of the lyrical criticism of the new project. We fully expected the criticism. So, we weren't surprised. We also feel more passionately than every that we have made the record that we needed to make so I'm not going to apologize for the record in ANY way.

I would like to address one aspect of the criticism in an undefensive manner I love worship music. I love worshipping God through music. In about 10 minutes, I'm going to go worship God through sweat at a Habitat for Humanity build in Dallas. I really believe what we tried to convey at the Dove Awards when we won the award for Praise and Worship album of the year. I believe that worship is so much more than music.

You know, there are times when I love hearing very bold statements and declarations of faith. There are times when we absolutely need to speak the name of Jesus, the only name under heaven by which we can be saved. But has anyone stopped to think that maybe we unknowingly use our Lord's name in vein? I mean we print the name of Jesus on Tee shirts because we know they'll sell. We let it roll off our tongues without a 2nd thought (Well at least when we're around other Christians.) I think sometimes we say his name without any reverence whatsoever.

Over the last few years, when worship music has become so huge, we all sing and say a lot of things that we don't really think about. It's easy to say 'em, but it's cliche'. I mean, unlike some of our critics, I'll look at myself first. I sing along to Show Me Your Glory and the line...."I want to see your face." Do I really mean that? If I did, I should be shaking when I say it... Because God's glory is something to behold. I'd probably just drop dead. Even Moses only got a glimpse of the backside and he glowed for days.

The thing with cliches is they're easy to say, but they don't always require thought. There is a time for bold, obvious statements. But there is also a time to be real. I don't live in a Christian utopia. I live in the USA. You might have missed the memo, but this isn't a Christian nation anymore. The name of Jesus is powerful, and it calls for a response. It's controversial. It's never something to be ashamed over. But, we should speak His name reverently and purposefully.

God has been calling us in the band to step out. We were meeting with our road pastor yesterday, and he reminded us of how this process has been years in the coming. He reminded us of all the prayer and study that has gone into this process. You know what, I think he's calling us all out. With our record, and in our upcoming concerts and interviews, we want to create art that challenges us all to think about what Jesus did for us. Sometimes that requires more than just spewing out an easy statment like, "Jesus died for your sins." and crafting a song, a parable if you will, like Innocent which paints a picture that those outside of our Christian "country clubs" might be able to understand as well. (Who else tended to speak in stories and in the language of His culture?)

We're stepping out. We're going to do whatever we can to get our music and the message of our music out into our culture. I'm tired of complaining about the stuff I see on the news. I want to start shaping the news. I'm tired of complaining about Janet Jackson superbowls. I want our music and message on the superbowl. I'm tired of complaining about a culture that's decaying. I want to be the salt that preserves the culture. I'm not ready to retreat and go to my Christian church, school, home, radio station, tv station, etc.

I want to change the world. So, who's with me? You can point the finger at us. That's what "religious" people do. Or, you can join us. You can step out too. It won't be safe. The world will hate you.

Guess what, even more hurtful, your brothers and sisters in Christ will question EVERYTHING you do. But, you know what... God never said this life was supposed to be safe. Maybe if you're faith isn't attracting any criticism, that should be a wake up call because our Savior promised that it would come.

This is an invitation. join us on the wire. Walk out there with us.
Try and balance being in the world and not of it. you can't do that safely. The big slogan of a Christian radio station in our whole town is "Safe for the whole family." Well you know what, that's all fine and good, but I think God has called us to be ...

DANGEROUS FOR OUR WHOLE CULTURE!

Guide to Promoting a Christian Concert (USA)

2005-08-01T08:57:00.000-07:00

Read this to find out how to really promote a Christian Concert, from an American based perspective. Helpful for us as guide. Syempre, we're doing something more hi-tech sometimes, but for veterans like Albert/Bobot, James, Genesis and AJ - y'all know that all the time we really must go lo-tech din. A Must read if you want to be a good street team.

A Letter from Rebecca St James while recording for her new album out in Oct 2005.

A Letter from Rebecca St James while recording for her new album out in Oct 2005.
Hey from the Studio!

I am currently sitting here writing to you, while we cut guitars on
two of my new songs, 'Love Being Loved By You' and 'Alive'. In
studio-lingo, 'cut' means record, and the cutting today is going well.
Every now and then I contribute my two cents, which sometimes leads to
a good idea and sometimes not! :) That's one of the fun things about
the studio... everyone puts in their ideas and at the end of the day
the best one wins! It's a very creative, sometimes stressful but
mostly enjoyable environment. After working hard on writing a song
it's very exciting to see it begin to come together.

Recording has been going very well... I'm very excited about what God
is doing on this project. I am probably more excited about making
music today than I have ever been. This album is more rock than any of
my other albums other than GOD but it still has an accessible feel to
it. We are really being quite experimental in the studio...our goal is
to make really fresh sounding, outside-the-box music that has
powerful, life-changing lyrics. I was telling a guy from my record
label today that I feel that the lyrics I'm writing for this project
couple very real, vulnerable thoughts with God's hope. Those are the
two things that I feel our generation today is looking for - reality
and hope.

Anyway, the point of this email was not just to give you a glimpse
into studio life but more importantly, to thank you for your prayers.
My producers, co-writers and I are really seeing the answers to those
prayers. Please continue to pray that God will give us the
inspiration for the last few songs that need to be written and that He
will guide us as we create.

You are a blessing to our ministry.

With love in Jesus,
Rebecca St. James

A message from Tiffany of Plumb

Message from Tiffany of Plumb
Hello everyone,

I am just wanting to take this opportunity to update you on alot that has been going on. It has been a while since i have been able to send an email blast out to everyone so i wanted to take this opportunity to catch everyone up on what is going on with me, Plumb.

I know the website has been down and we are continually working to get it up, but we want to make sure everything is perfect before we get it up and running. Thanks though for you guys that still visit it frequently and all of you who are active on the messageboard.

I have put a new song up on www.myspace.com/plumb, this was originally done by a fan and i have just recently had it changed over for my use, so i will be on the site periodically as I have found that it is an easy way to post music, inform about shows, etc... The new song that is available is "Blush" this is one of my favorite songs on the record, if you are a Plumb fan from early days this one is a bit reminiscent of "Stranded".

I am not sure if all of you guys use iTunes like i do, but i am constantly downloading more songs for my iPod. Well, i have good news, the new single "I Can't Do This" is finally up on iTunes. This is the first opportunity to get any of the new music, although there is another way to get some of the music as well. The song "Real Life Fairytale" is in the movie(end credits) and on the soundtrack for the movie "The Perfect Man". So you can also hear that song on the soundtrack.

Well, besides having a beautiful baby boy (Solomon Fury Lee) and being mother to him, that is currently what is going on in my life.

Enjoy the new music, and i would love to get messages from you guys anytime on the www.plumbinfo.com messageboard or on myspace.

Grace and Peace,
Plumb

Though generic sounding - the streetteam is the real-deal. We team up to promote the latest MAJOR Christian or otherwise concert in the Philippines. The teams membership varies - and that's a good thing. We enjoy most of the things street teams enjoy plus a bonus of learning about business and setting up a concert.

Its a great place to learn about LIFE and people and reality. All the while getting as close as you can to serving and promoting your beloved bands/artists/poets/singers/bands.

Welcome Team!
