Derek and Mike did a two-part interview. I’ll copy from the email he sent me to describe it, because I’m lazy:

There are 3 parts to this interview (only 2 are up). The first part is general info (noisetrade, new albums…etc) while the other two have to do with questions that were submitted by .com board users. I have no problem with folks listening to those but they may not be as interesting to them. You can download them and upload elsewhere if you prefer, it’s whatever you want. At 32 minutes the first part is a bit long but there is a lot of good info in there. I hope this is OK.

And because it’s funny … Can You Spot Derek Webb? It’s “Where’s Waldo?” but with a short, bald man.

As I noted back when I posted Derek’s tour dates for the fall, we’ve got people that record Derek’s shows. That means that you have some new Derek shows to listen to:

• 3 Nov in Huntsville
• 8 Nov in Raleigh
• 18 Nov in Nashville

And yes, we shared Sandra’s sets from those nights, too. You can see them, as well as the rest of the recordings available on IndieRiver.net, on squarepegalliance.net’s Square Peg Concert Bootleg page.

Happy downloading. And if the word BitTorrent is foreign to you, we’ve got a HOWTO to help you get up to speed. Or you can always ask questions in the comment section below.

The folks at Dryve Management have posted a video blog made during the current “Ringing Bell Tour”. There are a few dates left so be sure you check it out if you can. So here it is… The Ringing Blog Pt. 1

Hello, Grey’s Anatomy fans! So you heard “Name” by Derek Webb on last night’s Grey’s, and you’re wanting to know more about the guy behind the music. Well, Derek did a two-part interview with Patrol Magazine: part one covers growing up in the South, how Derek came to music, and visions for the music industry. Part two has Derek offering a critique of the music industry and his opinions on culture and the church. Enjoy.

Mornin’, everyone … coffee’s over there.

1. In case you missed it, “Name” showed up right at the open of last night’s Grey’s Anatomy, right after the previously-on stuff. True to Derek’s prediction that he’s been making in shows, there was a couple depicted as … post-coitus. Sexy-sounding song for a sexy show, I guess.
2. Friday morning’s are my morning to check out Derek’s tour dates page for updates, and I came across this note for tonight’s planned show at VCU: “Due to unfortunate circumstances on the campus of VCU we are forced to cancel the show with Derek and Sandra schedule for: Friday, November 9, 2007 Pace Student Center Virginia Commonwealth University Please accept our apologies, we will be sure to make it up to you when it’s possible for them to put on the event.” We hope all is well at VCU.

More news later today.
