Lots of news to recap, forgive me for not being around to do it, school's killin' me. First up, Tait: The Hero soundtrack is officially out, I heard a couple roughs a couple months back, but haven't given the finished product a listen. Nonetheless I hear it's awesome, so give it a look. Tait's album is coming as well, dropping November 4th. The album, Lose this Life, is supposed to be awesome and there's a clip up on TaitBand.com that's very impressive.

4/15/03 The Hardway: Revisited Music Video?
Haven't seen this posted anywhere and I was just made aware of it, so I thought I'd let you guys know. Corey has submitted an easter egg on the Free At Last: The Movie DVD. If you go to the "extras" menu, go down to "credits" and press down once more you will highlight a hidden button which wil take you to a music video set to The Hardway: Revisited. It's actually a pretty fun video to watch, all old footage, most of which I, personally, have not seen before. Give it a look, it's great for nostalgia.

Hey guys, just got word that Mark Townsend is back and along with him? Zilch! You may remember Zilch releasing an album way back in '97. They were composed of basically dc Talk's touring band. Shortly thereafter they disappeared. Well, they are back, but with a different lineup. The only dc Talk link to the band is Mark, who is the frontman. They are playing tomorrow night (March 11) in Columbus Ohio with Releint K and a couple other bands to celebrate Relient K's new release. If you're in the area, give it a look. Mark can whale. For more information, check out Zilch's website.

He's also up for Artist of the Year, Modern Rock/Alternative Recorded Song of the Year for "Get this Party Started," and Long Form Music Video for the Momentum DVD.
