NOTE: For those wondering about the accuracy of our report that Jennifer Love Hewitt will no longer be working with Switchfoot on a music video, we got it directly from management. So it's fairly accurate.

^This is the best co-headlining-type match I've seen in awhile. These two bands have a similar type of sound, same hopeful lyrics, and have played together before. What do you think?

Air1 has added "Your Love Is a Song" to their playlist. Looks like it's going to be the main Christian single now. But expect it to get worked to the mainstream after "The Sound" wraps up.-----

Hey. This is a little off topic, but I was watching TV and the teaser for the new movie Killers came on, and Bullet Soul was playing! Isn't that cool?
yupp! saw it. pretty sweet, although I think the movie kinda looks dumb.
Does anyone know---is Switchfoot opening for Goo Goo Dolls on those shows? Is Goo Goo Dolls opening for Switchfoot?
I saw co-headliners written above...but wondered exactly what that means...do they both literally play for the same amount of time?
Should be a pretty cool show either way...
thanks!
