In fact, my real arm can barely form barre chords... _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

i saw Switchfoot open for the Supertones. i really just went for Switchfoot and they were quite good. this was before this last album, which is really old. i imagine Jon is really tired of it. he seemed to be quite a prolific songwriter and this album has been out for a year and a half or longer. i remember when Eisley were first being courted by Warner Bros, one of the Switchfoot guys called Boyd and told them they were fans. if your opinion of Switchfoot is based on these last two videos and new acclaim, then you probably have the wrong impression of them. Jon Foreman is really intelligent. one time i talked to him in an online chat about Kid A and home recording. _________________ I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away. |

No, I meant hardcore christians, not a hardcore band - my fault, I shouldn't have clarified. Thanks for backin' me up, bro!  _________________ oh, so they have the internet on computers now!

You can't tell me that isn't sick!i'm ready for some new music from them. usually they would have had a new record out now. i wonder why the record label waited so long after the record came out to start promoting them. 2 questions: 1. do you like the older Dare You to Move from Learning to Breathe better? 2. have you ever heard Jon's take on politics? before they signed to Warner Bros., Jon would check their messageboard and answer people pretty frequently. his responses were always well thought out. i have a quote somewhere of his take on Christian music or that label, and its great. _________________ I am Torgo.

There is some sentamental value in it for me, and it doesn't seem quite so played out, not that it can be really played out, but you know what I mean. I also prefer the song "24" better when Jon played it by himself acoustically a couple of Easters ago when we had sunrise service at the beach. Great stuff! I wish they would put some more songs out like that. bigideas wrote: 2. have you ever heard Jon's take on politics? I haven't, to tell you the truth. Could you get me a link or something so I can?

i like the older one a lot better. i like those drum fills they recorded in his basement, and i really don't like the way he sings in the new version. i don't know Jon's political views, that's why i was asking. but if you're referring to his thoughts on Christian music, that i can find. _________________ I am Torgo.
