i was really suprised the other day, I was changing channels on tv and the football (australian rules) was on and I thought, hang on, i know that song - I work at a christian radio station - we play 100% christian music so it really suprised me when i realised i knew the song cause we play it on the radio!

it was "dare you to move"

THEN, a few days later, I was sitting in the shopping centre (mall for you 'mericans) and what do you know, i hear the song again! I thought - weird. I asked the girl at the music store about the song and told her it's a Christian band that we play at our radio station - she seemed quite suprised. I guess they released on a secular lable?

i should add, that here in Australia - christians are looked on pretty negatively, we don't have the same christian culture you have in the US - not by a long shot, despite what you may have the impression of with the likes of Hillsong being so "popular"

anywya, that's kinda my experience with Switchfoot - i dont' realy know any of their other music, we're a new radio station so we're still developing our music database

Interesting comment about the Christian culture in Australia. I'd never known that before.

Yeah, Beautiful Letdown was released by Sony/Columbia Records. I'm not sure who they were signed up with before, but it seems like I heard "Meant to Live" on AirOne Radio (Christian radio stream) six months or a year before I saw the video on MTV.
