Switchfoot is a band I've been long curious about. I know they have a tenuous connection to the Christian music machine and that at one time they were a pretty big deal. Heck their 2000 release Learning to Breathe went gold when they were on Sparrow records* a smaller imprint without the benefit of corporate muscle outside the weird Christian bookstore model. Their next album The Beautiful Letdown was distributed to the great unwashed outside of the CCM bubble by SONY BMG back in 2003 and the band went triple platinum. Kind of a holy shit moment for them I'm sure. A couple years after that Nothing Is Sound would be their highest charting album on the Billboard 200 reaching #3 but the album would only go gold ... only , sheesh most acts would love a gold record. As time went on each album would sell fewer copies than the copy before. They'd change labels a few times, and in 2021 interrobang would be their second album on Fantasy Records. I wonder if they asked John Foger...
A place where I just blather on about shit that I either miss, or am excited about. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally really don't know what I'm talking about. Sometimes I do. Sometimes this is like a stream of consciousness brain dump. I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the video ... mostly though it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
