First off, of course, is the release of "Oh! Gravity." The new album, "Oh! Gravity" hits stores in the US and Canada Dec. 26th (only 14 days from now!). You can read the full Suite review of "Oh! Gravity" here (hint: we LOVED it!)
Switchfoot offers up these details in a recent Bulletin:

Tell your friends, or better yet, I've heard they make great Christmas gifts, especially when packaged with a fruit cake.
In other news, our good friend David Letterman (OK, we've only met once for about 10 seconds, but there was a real connection) has invited us to perform our newest single "Oh! Gravity" on his classy late night show, appropriately titled, "The Late Show" on January 4.

The Christmas Card Caper. Do you have any idea how long it takes for 5 people of medium intelligence to sign 2500 Christmas cards? About 4 hours and 27 minutes (give or take 10 minutes or so). But it only took about 5 seconds to leave them behind our van in LA, and accidently drive over them on our way home to San Diego. To find out more about the ongoing saga, click here.
New video podcast is up! For those of you who aren't already aware, we have been doing a video podcast for the past 6 months or so, and, quite frankly, we think they rule. The new podcast even captures our pain as we searched through dumpsters, looking for our missing Christmas cards. For iTunes users, you can subscribe for free by clicking on this link .
