Hey, we're adding these two new Air 1 Hits to your Air 1 playlist, and we want to know what do you think?

Do you like 'em? Love 'em? Or are they just "eh" songs?

Post a comment here on the blog to let us know!

Francesca Battistelli "Beautiful, Beautiful" from the album My Paper Heart

Jimmy Needham "Yours to Take" from the album Nightlights

This is a sneak peek at Jimmy's new album, Nightlights which comes out May 18th. 

Enjoy the new Air 1 Hits this week!

What would it be like to have John and Korey Cooper as your parents?

John & Korey Cooper (lead singer/bassist, and keyboard player/vocalist of Skillet) know how to rock out...but they're also parents to Alex, their 6 year old daughter, and Xavier, their 4 year old son.

Wanna know how they do it?

Well, Korey homeschools, and then John might take the kids to the park. Later that night, the kids may be asleep while Mommy & Daddy ROCK OUT at a concert (like the Awake Tonight tour they're on right now with TobyMac!) And then they go back on the tour bus and try to get some sleep.

It can be a crazy life, but John was quoted in the latest issue of ParentLife, saying, "My kids have learned to trust God from an early age..."

It's kinda cool to see this side of Skillet. :) You can click on the magazine cover to find out more.

Yes, Addison Road's RV caught fire. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

But you wanna know what's weird?

Rewind back to September 24, 2009 (6 months ago), when the band blogged this before a tour with Sanctus Real:

"On the way home from a show late Tuesday night we got in a wreck with an oak tree that had just fallen into the road due to some rain and storms. The oak tree won. The van is out of service for a minimum of 3 weeks..."

Rewind a few more months to March 15, 2009, before they went on the Rock & Worship Road Show. They blogged:

"...a couple of weeks ago, our van and trailer (and every piece of equipment we owned) were stolen. Two and a half moths earlier the same trailer was broken into and our gear stolen. So to have this happen twice within three months was a little overwhelming! I mean, seriously!"

The band is again going on tour with Sanctus Real. And after all this, now their RV caught fire.

They lost guitars, equipment, merchandise...

...and Lead singer Jenny, her hubby Ryan and their baby girl Anniston had all their clothes and baby toys in the RV--everything burned.

Here's the deal--they need the RV to continue their current tour with Sanctus Real. They're asking for their fans' and friends' help! Would you consider helping them out with a donation? Or an RV they could borrow?

I know they'll appreciate it!

Are you kidding?? Skillet and Red on tour together? EPIC!

They're going to Air 1 cities like:

Fort Smith, AR (88.1)

Lafayette, LA (89.5)

Dodge City, KS (89.9)

...and more!!!

You can click to see all the dates for the Awake & Alive Tour with Skillet & Red.

Last time on the blog, we featured Manic Drive's video "Closer". Now it's their new one, "Walls". Check it out!

And the answer is ... TobyMac!

The League picked TobyMac, but not as a pitcher or shortstop. They'll be playing his song "Tonight" on the Spring Training series 30 Clubs in 30 Days!

The series is airing on the Major League Baseball Network.

If you're a fan, seriously, what could be better than TobyMac & Baseball?

How about some Apple Pie?

YUM! :)

Ok, so Satellites & Sirens is actually a band, but I thought I'd make the blog title cute. Was it cute? Funny? No?

Well, c'mon! It's Monday! Cut me some slack ... and enjoy some NEW AIR 1 HITS!!

We just added these 2 songs to the Air 1 playlist:

TobyMac "Get Back Up" from Tonight

Satellites & Sirens "Anchor" from their debut album Satellites & Sirens

I'll take 'em!

Are you kidding? Fifty-one Relient K songs? YEAH!

Turns out that they're releasing "The First Three Gears", a compilation of the first three Relient K albums (200-2003) on April 20th.

Click on the cover for more info!

... and if they're throwing in a Relient K keychain, sure, why not? ;)

Switchfoot may never record a new album again… at least not for 6 or so more albums!!

Recently, Switchfoot drummer, Chad Butler, divulged in an interview that there are an estimated 80-or-so songs that have yet to find a CD-like home. Some collections of songs already have a title!!

The next album, tentatively called Vice Verses, hasn’t been given a street date yet, but will presumably feature 12 to 16 of those phantom tracks on it.

Another hinted project is being called the Eastern Hymns for Western Shores EP. This project was actually recorded before Hello Hurricane, and might even see the light of day by the end of this year.

You can read the whole interview in its’ full form ...

… but we’ve told you the extremely important stuff already! :)

...so where do you find goodies like an autographed Switchfoot drum head or passes to a taping of Hannah Montana, starring Miley Cyrus? And why are these two things even connected to begin with?!

This past weekend there was a benefit concert to help continue Haiti relief efforts. The Switchfoot & Hannah Montana goodies are just two on a list of amazing items that are being auctioned off!

Artists like Needtobreathe, Brandon Heath, Jars of Clay and others were a part of the concert, and you can find out more on the official site--just click on the picture!
