The new Switchfoot covers are pretty good!

yo! how goes it?!

Just dropping by to say your music taste is still awesome - Switchfoot and Passion Pit!

2014 year in review if you're interested. Also liking for King & Country at the moment (in addition to everything else you listen to :P), have listened to other stuff besides "Fix My Eyes" and "Shoulders"? http://www.last.fm/user/kalsonberry/journal/2015/01/29/6ejnba_music_year_in_review_2014

Hey ^^ You have great taste !! You should like this one: http://freedownloads.last.fm/download/695385148/Pathfinder.mp3 Hope you'll like ;)

Hi there! Re: Switchfoot: I was friends with the producer of that first concert and when she asked if I wanted to help, I said yes. :)

yeah, i've read the band finished a long time ago. shame :/

haha yeah, at least there was a dumb way to find a good band. sometimes i like listening to non-american or british bands, but from different countries, like Estonia, Latvia... actually, last week i've found another band from Philippines.. its called cueshé. dunno if you've already listened to them, they've got great songs *-*

Please help me - gabegabe

i could hardly believe that actually there was a song with such a name lol

well, once, dunno why, i've decided to download songs with random names. so, i've searched for "fruitcake" and there it was eraserheads hahah :)

I haven't listened to the last few songs yet, but I really like Love Alone..., The World You Want, Slipping Away, and Let It Out!

New Switchfoot today!

You're welcome. Yeahh! We're supers! hahah :)

Okay, well they're both great! Um. I own Mumford & Sons album. Their great! I didn't know you liked them too. Have you seen them in concert?

Hey, nice taste! Thanks for accepting.

Haha, that must've been embarrassing, you're lucky they let you in after you finished your food. My cousin's friend did that and she had to wait in line. Most people did sit during an upbeat concert - what crap.

I loved your blog. You didn't know you can't take food inside a concert!? I had to laugh about that, and there were people sitting during a OneRepublic concert!? There shouldn't be a reason to be sitting during a concert . . . Were they old haha? So what was your favorite song of the night!? I would've loved to hear "Secrets," "If I Lose Myself," "Burning Bridges" and "I Lived."

I'm so jealous! Was it amazing!? I saw them this summer and I wish everyday to see them live again! Sooo, did you get a picture with them, autograph, talk, poster, album or a hug!?

Avril ofcourse ;)

GoWithTheFlow from BA here :)

Sorry for the late reply, of course! I heard it pretty quickly after it leaked. Won't listen to it until the album release though. Only the live version that Avril gave us herself! :)

Alright, I've been listening to it some more & it's definitely been growing on me. I think I was just overwhelmed with how different it is from precious work that I failed to see all the good. Does that make sense? Then there's the fact I said what I did after having only listened to it through my computer speakers...sooo that wasn't fair anyway. I have a feeling I'm going to have the whole thong on repeat now. Haha

I love Love Alone Is Worth The Fight! Do you like the new EP? Your shoutbox is having quite the Switchfoot discussion, haha :P

So, how do you feel about the EP as a whole? I think it's obviously great (they never release anything that isn't). But the overall sound is quite different and I'm not digging it all that much. I mean, I don't know. It feels more overproduced than that raw quality they usually have. And I know it's not all about the lyrics, but I always find Jon's lyrics to resonate with me 100% no matter the song style...not so much this time around (aside from Back to the Beginning & Love Alone is Worth the Fight). Have you heard "Fading West" the song? It's not on this EP, but I prefer it to the others on the EP. In fact, it turns out I also prefer the live audio to the final studio recording of "Love Alone is Worth the Fight." Aaaanyway. Just want to hear your thoughts. I've never really been disappointed by them til now...though I technically have no reason to be cause it's still top-notch.

ahah noooo! I just copy/pasted it! lol

Yes! It's fantastic, especially the fact it's their kids singing with them. I'm assuming you read this already, but it's worth reading again: "Despite the negative criticism the acoustic version of this song (played by the guys during a record label show) has evoked in some fans, I find that this song has a joyfulness that is undeniable. Perhaps it’s because I’m linking it to the scene in the Fading West movie where they are recording this song. Jon sits cross-legged on the floor of the studio; Tim, Chad and Drew’s children, standing in a semi-circle around him, singing along to his direction. Chad and Drew are beaming; Tim is dancing with his daughter. Coupled with that scene, this song takes on a deeper message. It feels like the guys are not only reminding themselves of their past, but are trying to encourage the future generations to not settle, to not listen to the naysayers, to fight for what you believe in, no matter the pain and struggle. The song is a passing on of a purpose."

Ah I'm sure you will at some point. Weren't they there back in 2011? And 2007 too, I just checked to see. That was the first time. Super cool that Jerome is from there too :)

hmmm yeah, I can see why that'd be the case. I actually saw it the first time they performed it at the end of the fall tour & it made me tear up. I just wanted to video tape like 30 seconds of Jon talking to remember how close I was, but then he said they were going to play new song sooo I kept recording hahah. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74lcnl3Y4qU I'm really looking forward to the studio recording of it.

Makes sense. What do you think of Back to the Beginning?

The Light Meets The Dark!

Hey you!!! I need to listen to that album some more, haha. <3

Yeah, I adore Love Alone is Worth the Fight. I listen to it all the time. I am veryyy excited to hear the studio version. It's funny cause I totally forget it's live when I listen to it. And after watching only like three seconds of Who We Are..I decided to wait for the EP instead.

Yuuup! You too, I see! Good stuff. Excited for Fading West?

Hey! How ya doin?

I hadn't heard it before but I looked it up on youtube and it sounds really good. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the comment! :) No it wasn't part of the Fading West tour, I think that's starting in a few weeks.

Let There Be Love! :D

I'm okay :) have you heard new Christina Aguilera song? :D

Thank you! :D How are you? :)

Counting Stars! (: it wasn't amazing but it made my night!

Ummm, hard question, but a small list. "Mercy," "Come Home," All The Right Moves," "Good Life," If I Lose Myself" and "Burning Bridges!" Love it! Did you see OneRepublic (Ryan Tedder) sing on TheVoice!?

Oh yup, this year at the end of July. It was fantastic! I hope you get your chance to see them! Favorite song from them?

Probably "Native" I however like a lot, a lot of songs from "Waking Up." Have you been to one of their concerts?
