Michael Tait with the Newsboys at 3:28 PM

A few weeks ago I was in Gaylord Michigan at Big Ticket Festival which is a Christian Music Festival. There were over 60 bands there including Third Day, David Crowder, and Newsboys.

This year I acquired backstage passes. So while backstage I saw all the tour buses unloading there gear and band members. I was backstage taking some pictures before the newsboys went on and I saw Michael Tait sitting on the bleachers to the right of the stage. So I went up and sat right behind him. I sat there for a few minutes pretending to watch what was going on onstage (Natalie Grant). I fibnally then turned around and said "Im really excited for the show." He responded with , "So am I." I then took a picture with him and left to go take some more pictures.

So then later that night I went backstage again. The second to last band (Seven Glory) was finishing up and the newsboys stepped out of their tour bus. They walked over and chatted with me a bit. We talked about their new album and other newsboys topics. They were about to go up on stage and i stood there and took a few more pics of them. Mike talked to me some more and then it was time go on. The boys circled up and prayed. Then walked out. I went around to the front of the stage and stood between the crowd and the band.

The concert began they started with "Something Beautiful" and went on from there. I was shocked. The concert was amazing. I think Mike did an equal job as to what Peter Furler did. I was so happy that I got to see that show. Next time the boys are in town make sure you check them out.

Big Ticket Festival 2009 at 2:19 PM

This past weekend was The Big Ticket Festival in Gaylord Michigan. For those of you who dont know what that is its a Christian/Contemporary music festival with over 60 bands. The big names in christian music play here every year there. Such as Newsboys, Switchfoot, Third Day, Chris Tomlin, Super Chick, and Toby Mac to name a few. This year, 2009, the headliners were Newsboys, Switchfoot, and Third Day.

This was the highlight of my year. Some amazing people that I know gave me a media pass which allowed me to go backstage. When I went back there I was so happy. All of my favorite bands were just walking around back there. I met the newsboys for the second time. I got pictures with them all as you can see above.

But anyways this was an amazing weekend. I to meet my inspirations, hear great music, and be in the company of great friends.

"In the Hands of God" Newsboys New Album Review at 2:24 PM

Ok I got the album a few day before it comes out. This album is amazing. If you thought Go was good just wait till you hear this one.

The Cd starts out with a song called "The Way we Roll". This song talks about the history of the newsboys along with a great message about being free.

The second song and probably my favorite is called "No Grave"
This song is different from traditional newsboys style but still amazing.

"This is your life" starts out very eighties-esc but becomes similar to the song "The Orphan" off of the Devotion CD.

"Glorious" is a very sweet worship song with some awesome guitar. If you listen closley you can hear Michael Tait singing BGV's.

"In the hands of God" is a very awesome track and I think it will eb the next "He Reigns".

"The Upside" starts out very different and then has a cool British pop style the newsboys are famous for.

"My Friend Jesus" is just one of those classic fun newsboys songs. It sounds like Superchick had a little bit of say in this one.

"Lead me to the Cross" is probably the slowest song on the album. It is also a worship song. it has some amazing vocals.

"Dance" is a another one of those awesome Techno synth filled songs.
Very fun and energetic.

The last song, "RSL 84" is basically the story of Peter and his time with the newsboys. This song is amazing and full of amazing harmony's and guitar parts.

This cd is probably my favorite. I have listened to over ten times and think it is amazing.

Buy the CD here

Iron Man the Sequel at 4:28 PM

Yes it's true, there is going to be a sequel to the Iron Man. The release date is set some time next year (2010). I'm pretty excited for this sequel. As you know the first movie was awesome so hopefully this new one will be good. Because the reasons most sequels don't do good and are not liked is because they basically have the same plot but in a different scene. Or they sequel has the basic same jokes as they did in the first movie. An example of that is Shrek the last three movies. They are all basically the same just different scenes and a few new characters. Oh and by the way, Shrek goes FOURTH is set for release next year as well. I think theyre taiking the green ogre franchise a tad to far.

But anywho back to Iron Man...............

In the new Iron man movie most of the original cast will be returing. Including
Robert Downy Jr, Gweneth Paltrow, and Samuel Jackson. (Some of you know what I'm talking about). But there are a few new additions to the cast. First off Col. James Rhodes will no be played by Don Cheadle instead of Terrance Howard. There are also two new major additions to the cast. One being Scarlet Johanson. She will be playing black widow. Also Mickey Rourke is also rumored to be play a villan in this film.

But I hope it will be good. I am excited. Rumor has it this movie will be coming out late summer of 2010. Along with;

1. The Chronicals of Narnia ; Voyage of the Dawn Treador

2. Shrek goes Fourth

3. Spider-man 4

4. Super Man; Man of Steel

too name a few...........................
