The Hurricane is brewing

[img_assist|nid=2084|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=249|height=168]Right now as I write, Hello Hurricane is one of the trending topics on Twitter.  Why?  Perhaps it has a little something to do with the highly anticipated release of said album by Switchfoot.  Perhaps folks are writing about the apparent transformation of musical style.  Or maybe the diehard fans are re-tweeting to get the counts up.  Either way, the first studio release in three years has been causing a buzz even before today's official release.

Leeland is on the move

I recall standing in a club in Nashville eagerly waiting for Leeland hit the stage at a showcase event for their record label.  This young band from Texas was the talk of GMA that year.  The debut album, Sound of Melodies, was set to release later in 2006.  I was impressed by the music, stage presence, and of course what I had supposed to be the relatives of the band (including mom’s who looked a bit out of place with the crowd).  They took their spot at the front, singing along to every song, making it difficult to get pictures.  Yet they were proud.
