Flyleaf to perform on Jimmy Kimmel

Flyleaf Performing on Jimmy Kimmel

Awesome – sad I missed this live. It’s Flyleaf from Belton and Temple, Texas on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Flyleaf bass player Pat Seals went to UMHB the same time I did. I didn’t get to hang with him too often but he was always a fun guy to be around. His dad was a pretty cool art prof too.

Switchfoot does it right

From the Christianpost:

Switchfoot, as part of their ongoing Oh! Gravity Tour, has been recording and selling live bootlegs after every concert.
They have encouraged fans to share and trade their bootleg CDs online with other fans, which has led to a new website at www.switchfootbootlegs.com.
The band was excited to see the new site and is happily surprised by the devotion of their fans.
“Within just a few hours, you all created a new website … that continues to grow everyday, and is completely run by you guys. We think it’s pretty fantastic,” explained the band in a recent newsletter.
For every performance of their tour, the band has been recording and manufacturing the live concerts. They would sell around 100 bootlegs per night as a way to give something more personal to their fans.
Devotees have shown interest, buying up all the CDs at every event.

You never know what you’ll find on YouTube

So I was browsing YouTube this morning and came across a video from WaxahachieJournal.com.
I’m not familiar with all the names involved, but Jennifer Howell was a stringer for the WDL and worked for the Waxahachie Now magazine as recent as their last edition.
Not sure if she’s doing both now or what but she’s listed as one of the publishers and the executive editor.
I can easily see more of these popping up around the country/world as people go to the web to get their news.
The site is mainly feature oriented but they’re taking advantage of things like YouTube to put video on their website for free. Very smart.
