Traci and Jamie over at Third Day Pix are having a little contest that gives you the opportunity to score a copy of Third Day’s newest album “Revelation” along with a t-shirt too and celebrating the Revelation release day.
All you’ve got to do is visit their site and leave a comment about your favorite song from the album.

Good to see a little bit more movement around the charts again and some great performers on the list but that’s pretty standard each week right?
A little bit of an interesting note though for someone coming up the charts that will be a breath of fresh and new air. Chris Sligh, from American Idol fame, is working his way right up the charts with his song “Empty Me”.

It reminds me a lot of Brandon Heath’s video for “I’m Not Who I Was”.
If you’d like to share, what’s your before and after with God?

A little more hardcore than my tastes usually like but I still want to be sure and cover some more hard rock and metal groups for people that are interested.
From listening to their songs on their MySpace page it might be something I could start to get interested. It would have to depend on the situation I’m in, it’s not something I would be able to listen to if I were trying to concentrate. Riding my bike or working out though would really get you pumping.
Here are some upcoming concert dates for the group:
7/18 - Pelham, AL - Life Church (CLC) - EP Release Show!!
7/19 - Pensacola, FL - The Red Door
7/20 - Mobile, AL - HI-C
7/21 - Houma, LA - The Lighthouse
7/22 - Hot Springs, AR - The Attic
7/24 - Newlberia, LA -The Underground Sea
7/25 - Humble,TX - Fuel Cyber Cafe
7/26- Dallas, TX - The Door
7/27- Ft. Worth, TX - Ridglea Theater
7/28 - Oklahoma City, OK - Convergence
7/29 - Muskogee, OK - The Wire
7/30 - Springfield, MO - Sparrows
7/31 - Kansas City, MO - Main Street Cafe
Matt Conner has a great interview with Third Day over on the CCM Blog. As everyone is anticipating the final availability and full release of their newest album “Revelation” this interview gives you even more reasons to be a fan of this tremendous group of guys.
“What was funny with this record is that we got everything we could have wanted,” says Anderson. “We’ve learned that the limitations that people feel for Christian music are self-imposed. We can prevent our own progression. If we could just be bold enough to go for what we really want, we might actually get it. We’ve learned this over the years. We wanted Brendan O’Brien [Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Train] to mix our albums for years, and we were told that it couldn’t happen. So finally, I just picked up the phone, called him myself and he said, ‘Oh yeah, I love the band. I’d love to do it.’ Along the way, people were just assuming he wouldn’t do it.
How many times do I (or you) apologize and limit ourselves for what we think is reality which in God’s reality isn’t what we’d expect at all for our lives?

As I was looking for a new video of Brandon Heath’s new song “Give Me Your Eyes” I came across this other great song by Brandon, but American Idol’s Jason Castro is performing it in the video below.
Jason still has the sound that I like, I’m sure his album will be one I purchase when it comes out. My question is whether or not it will be released on a Christian label or not.
Tags: American-Idol, Brandon-Heath, I'm Not Who I Was, Jason CastroToday in our service our special song was a new one by Brandon Heath called “Give Me Your Eyes”. My wife had told me about it earlier this week and told me I should find the video on YouTube and blog about it.
I found the two videos below, I like the first one much better.
This one is taken from the actual recording it sounds like and is put together with still images in Microsoft Photo Story or something.
The next video is from a live performance with a guy performing live beat-box percussion with Brandon Heath playing. It seems like Brandon got a little tired of the “extras” that the guy was adding into the performance.
The last video is Brandon sharing the meaning behind the video.

It’s been awhile now since I reviewed Stukenberg’s “Mountain of Pieces” album. This is an absolutely great group of musicians and I love their music more ever time I pop their CD in the player.
All you need to do is is go check out the post and leave a comment. I’ll then randomly pick two commenters and you’ll get their “Mountain of Pieces” album absolutely FREE!
So go start commenting!
You’ve got till the end of today. Tomorrow I’ll pick the winners and let you know.
Tags: free-music, Mountain of Pieces, StukenbergI was just introduced to a new artist tonight by the name of Megan Krantz. Here’s a video of her performing her song “So Few Words”.
Another great find! It’s interesting I want to see new but familiar sounding music, which is good.
What do you think?
You can visit her website at www.megankrantz.com or her MySpace page
