Coldplay’s Life In Technicolor ii video has to be one of the best music videos I’ve ever seen…

Fiction Family is: Jon Foreman of Switchfoot and Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek. Their album comes out January 20th, 2009! Since I’m a fan of both these bands I’m really looking forward to this release. Visit the Fiction Family website to sign up for email updates.

MuteMath SpotlightI don’t have a lot of interest in running out to see the vampire movie ‘Twilight’, but I do however care about all things MuteMath. Here’s there new song ‘Spotlight’ from the Twilight Motion Picture Soundtrack. Can’t wait for their new album in 2009! You?

Vince just posted this saying this would be our new favorite video. For the moment I would have to agree (until the next dose of viral goodness makes it’s way down the pipe).

“Live Good” by the Naive New Beaters

MUTEMATH fans probably already know about the upcoming September 2008 release of the new album… Just saw these studio vids and can’t wait!

Follow their progress in the studio on YouTube!

Somehow Adam Watts slipped by the radars but I’m glad that Vince posted this yesterday. I agree with his assessment that plenty of good Worship music has been produced the last few years but that hasn’t been the case with generic “christian / positive” genre. Watch this video and you’ll agree this guy is talented. Also, drummers take note of the drum solo towards the end, amazing.

Now granted I’m not saying that there is no good music coming out these days, I’m just saying there doesn’t seem to be as much lately. I’ll post an entry with some of my current favorites soon. Who are your current favorites?

Buy Sleeping Fire or The Noise Inside on Amazon MP3 or iTunes

Are you going to be picking up the new Third Day album in July? Looks like they will be mixing it up a little this time around. If you pre-order the album now you can stream it until the CD arrives.

This video made the apple blog rounds a couple days ago and the tune has been stuck in my head ever since. Is it just me or is this a really infectious melody? Yea, the thought that went into video is pretty impressive too.

I’m guessing a lot of you probably haven’t seen this yet. David Crowder Band performing “Everything Glorious” at the GMA’s last week.

Whether your a part of a church band or not this is funny. This is basically the cymbal version of “more cowbell”.

We held church vocalist auditions for the first time last fall and it makes me thankful that nothing like this happened. Thanks to Chris from Canada for the heads up on the video.
