Charlie Hall’s Beard

If, right now, you were to surf on over to Last.fm, and visit Charlie Hall’s page – and if you were to then pull up the full list of Charlie’s albums, and open an album called Funnies at the very bottom, you would discover a free download of a song called “Beard Rap”.

At this point, I think the song title pretty much speaks for itself.

25 Years (And The Music Don’t Stop)

Free music today from one of the biggest websites in free Christian music, HearItFirst.  It turns out that EMI CMG / Sparrow Records (who used to own HearItFirst) had a 25th birthday recently, and to celebrate, they gave away 25 five free downloads, covering what appears to be a full 25 years of music.  They’ve got some old classics, and some fairly recent ones too.  The full list:

Scott Wesley Brown – “Consider The Lilies”
Amy Grant – “Sing Your Praise To The Lord”
Jump5 -”Friends”
Avalon – “For Freedom”
BeBe and CeCe Winans – “Change Your Nature”
Bethany Dillon – “Waking Up”
Lost Ocean – “Just Glide”
Margaret Becker – “Say The Name”
Newsboys – “You Are My King (Amazing Love)”
Charlie Hall – “Marvelous Light”
Oceans Above – “Beautiful One”
DC Talk – “The Hardway”
Petra – “This Means War”
DeGarmo and Key – “Casual Christian”
Rebecca St. James – “God Help Me”
Sanctus Real – “The Face of Love”
Shawn McDonald – “Captivated”
Stacie Orrico – “Strong Enough”
Delirious? – “Majesty”
Steven Curtis Chapman – “Signs of Life”
Edison Glass – “Let Go”
This Beautiful Republic – “Casting Off”
Future of Forestry – “Open Wide”
Geoff Moore and The Distance – “Homerun”
Audio Adrenaline – “Big House”

As you can see, I wasn’t kidding about a the time line. Amy Grant and Scott Wesley’s songs were both released before my time, and then Shawn MacDonold’s “Captivated” came out just this year. Anyway, regardless of your age, you’ll probably find something you can enjoy. I know James really likes Edison Glass, and I’m glad to see Audio Adrenaline’s “Big House” on the list. That’s just a classic.

To access the downloads, you’ll need to be a HearItFirst member and be signed in. Then you can pick & download the mp3s you want. Happy listening!  (Oh, and happy birthday HearItFirst!)

Hawk Nelson Typo and Free Music from Charlie Hall

I think this is a typo:

[Name removed to protect privacy], this is a confirmation that you have entered the Hawk Nelson “Hawk Nelson Is Your Friend” Contest. If you are a winner, we will inform you via email after the contest closes on January 25th, 2010. Thanks.

LOL, that’s a long contest… (Thanks for sending this in!)

Aside from that, I do have some music for you. It’s from Charlie Hall, from the latest Passion record, and is called “Walk of the World”, and let me tell you, it’s popped up everywhere. To coin a phrase, it’s “Fringle”

–”Fringle“: A free song sent to several different sites, much like a single is sent to radio stations. A combination of the words “free” and “single”.

Like I said, you can download the song in many places. Jesusfreakhideout.com is just one of several, but it’s my favorite, so here you go:
