Over the weekend, "Your Love Is a Song" leaped into the Top 30 of Mediabase Hot AC, settling at No. 29. This is looking good for the Billboard placing, possibly landing Switchfoot their first Hot AC/Adult Pop Songs Top 30 single since "We Are One Tonight."
Very exciting. Remember to share around the free download of the song with friends; details here.

Jon Foreman and Drew Shirley stopped by at 96X recently to play a Sessions show. Here, they play "The Sound."

Here are some videos from Switchfoot's show at the Varsity Theater in Baton Rouge, LA.
In this one, Jon talks about the conversation he overheard before playing "Only Hope" and "Dare You to Move." If you follow his tweets, you'll know what he's going to talk about.

Switchfoot to master "Hello Hurricane" this week; "Eastern Hymns" album art
Switchfoot has updated their Twitter, announcing some exciting news:
May 19, 2009:
- Just got back from morning surf: flat but always worth paddling out. Lots of dolphins. Done mixing the new album, mastering it this week.
^Perhaps once the mastering is done (likely by the end of the week), we might be hearing a single very soon, like next week or the week after. I keep broadcasting my predictions, and keep getting proven wrong but I don't know... I just like making predictions. :)
------------
Next, Timmay from the boards discovered that on the Paste Magazine donation/download box, the song "We Are Bound" features album art for the "Eastern Hymns for Western Shores" EP that it comes from! Here it is, blown up, courtesy of the great LOBH:
In my humble opinion, it's a great, trippy album cover. Rather simple, but we're talking about a pixelated, low-res photo after all. I will reserve true judgment for when we see a higher quality cover.
But who is digging the new Switchfoot font? I mean, I hope they stick with the original font that they've been using, but this is a nice change.
Discuss! What do you all think?
------------
And lastly, we are pleased to bring back our "Featured Video" section, with an old video of Switchfoot's performance on Extra Lounge way back in 2003. They played "Meant to Live" and you can see the performance right here:

This is a great video montage to Switchfoot's song, "This Is Home."

We salute you, stand by you, and hope you finally find your way home... where you belong...

Featured Video: Switchfoot - Old Borego
Hey everyone! This is a music video(ish) thing that I made for the Switchfoot Christmas song, "Old Borego." I took clips from the various different Switchfoot DVD's out there and brought them together, to maybe make a Holiday cheer video.
It's a great song too... a little strange, but I like it and it fits the mood. Enjoy, and please please comment and rate it! I'd appreciate that a lot! Thanks!

Featured Video: Switchfoot - This Is Home
Yeah it's not a real featured video, but since it's a brand new, freshly released, official music video, I thought it deserved the space today. Spread the word, link it on facebook, myspace, and what not. We'll see if "This Is Home" can become a hit yet...
In my opinion, this video captures the essence of Switchfoot more than a lot of their videos have. This is truly home for the band... making that connection with the fans that mean a lot to them...
Viva la Switchfoot!

Featured Video: Switchfoot Plays Buddy Holly (by Weezer)
So this is a slightly odd time and space for our newest Featured Video of the Week. But since we haven't had one in a million years, I thought now would be as good a time as any.
As many of you know, The Music Builds tour is now in full swing, and the Third Days are rockin, the Jars of Clays are strummin, the Robert Randolphs are jammin, and the Switchfoots are doing their usual thing.
The video above is taken from the first show of the tour, at DTE Energy Music Theater in Detroit, MI. At one point during their set, Switchfoot covered "Buddy Holly" by Weezer. But a potential highlight of the night was marred by the audience. Yes, that's right, the audience ruined the song -- by not responding. Considering the Christian audience targeted by this tour, this song went over many heads at that show. It's sort of sad, but I think it's still pretty awesome the band played this song.
Chad Butler has said that the Switchfoot guys are probably not going to play the song anymore, because the audience didn't "get it," so here is the one and only time (at least on this tour) that this song is getting played by the band. Enjoy fams!

Featured Video: Walking On Water Trailer
We are going to have a new feature at the beginning of every week, where we feature a video from the web. We've had the "featured video" thing in the sidebar in the past, but we're going for a full-on post once a week dedicated to that. So here's the inaugural "official" Featured Video this week!
This week's video was uploaded to our youtube channel a week or so ago. It's the trailer for the upcoming surf movie "Walking on Water." (It features "Awakening" prominently)
