We like this Caedmon’s Bandit fellow. Don’t know about you. First we got “Famous Last Words”, including some BGVs from Garett [who knew?!], and today, another clip from that same show, since y’all like that so much …

By the way, you have another track from this if you own all of CC’s CDs. ;)

Let’s see …

“I Will Sing” and “Hope to Carry On” from the second CC show.

“Not Enough” from the third CC show.

“Clean Am I” from Jan 1993.

And … figure out which Caedmon’s Call member is in this photo, and which one he is:

The Caedmon’s Bandit strikes again! This goes back to January 1996.

Not kidding.

PS - If you discover who I am, you must not tell. If you do, the videos will stop and I have more… oh, so much more.

I will not be guessing. :)

Hey everyone, Bryan here. Back in April of 2004 I had the pleasure of traveling to Ecuador with Caedmon’s Call on a Compassion International sponsored trip. The band was in the process of making the Share The Well CD, and as a result of that trip, songs like “VolcanoLand”, “Did Not Catch Her Name”, and “Roses” were crafted.

I kept an abbreviated journal with me during the trip, and I just recently put the entries up on my blog. If you’d like a peek into what its like to travel overseas with the band, or just want to see some of the pictures from the trip, click on over and check it out.

So, Rick Starr thought that Josh had left the band and that Randy Holsapple was back with them. Nope. Per Christie [who would know]:

Since the band is doing just a few select shows this fall, it has worked out best for Josh to do other things.

This isn’t anything new, really; I saw Randy play a show with the band in 2006. And we know that Josh has been busy … with what, we’re not at liberty to say. ;)

Rest assured, the only person at risk of being thrown out of the band is Bryan for forgetting cc.net as one of his tribes. What, you didn’t think he was in the band? He totally is.

[Posted band news: check. Made fun of Bryan: check.]

• Andy O recently put out his second for-free, summertime EP. Last year’s was really good, and so it this year’s. We recommend checking it out and, if you like it, donating to the cause. Those diapers don’t buy themselves, and those mortgage payments don’t just happen out of the blue.
• If you haven’t kept track, Derek has been doing the NoiseTrade thing. It’s pretty awesome, and we think you should check it out. [And the only reason that Andy didn't choose NoiseTrade to distribute the Letters to the Editor EP was because I was willing to do it for free. ;) ]
• Cliff and Danielle have been without power since Hurricane Ike, so they weren’t able to play this weekend’s show in Ohio. We’d love to thank Kevin and Mandy Mann for filling in to keep it from totally being Andrew’s Call.
• We’re all hoping that the Youngs will make this upcoming weekend’s shows. We’ll advise when we know.

Update, 27 Sep: Josh Stockment reports that Mandy is indeed filling in for Danielle, and Randy Holsapple is filling in for Josh. And as we didn’t say, but most of you probably knew, Derek is off supporting the Art * Music * Justice tour right now.

Well, it’s actually not Guitar Hero, it’s “Guitar Praise: Solid Rock” (of course it is).

Among the many great Christian tunes you can rock out to is “There You Go” by a little band called Caedmon’s Call.

It can be your for $99.99. (available next month).

Now, we don’t do this very often, so we hope that you understand when we do. :) Ever wanted to contribute to the site, but didn’t know how? Love Amazon.com and want to make it more awesome for you?

That’s their marketing schpiel, but the way I look at it is this: I order a lot of stuff from Amazon every year [to the point that I bet my UPS guy hates me], and I never, ever think about the shipping charge anymore. Doesn’t matter if I’m ordering a single CD, ten books, or heavy luggage—all the same. The only time I think about shipping prices are when I want the overnight shipment—mind you, not often, but every so often, it happens.

Thanks for taking the time to put up with this shameless plug.

Update, 17 Aug: Peter noted below that we didn’t talk dollars. Amazon Prime runs you $79/yr; we’ll let you run the cost/benefit analysis for yourselves. We get $12 out of that.

Now, before anyone asks: no, we don’t have any information as to whether or not Derek will be at these shows. We know that it’s been discussed, and we’re not ruling it in or out either way. What we would advise is that you expect that he won’t be there until the dates show up on his Web site or we tell you here [which we will when we know]. But it’s also important to remember that, like, there’s still a lot of people on stage if Derek’s not there. We just know that you’re going to ask about it. :)

Here are the dates we’ve seen for the summer so far:

• 18 May in Sewell, NJ
• 1 Jun in Charleston, SC
• 7 Jun in Merrillville, IN
• 26 Jul in Midland, MI
• 21 Aug in Harford, PA
• 23 Aug in San Angelo, TX
• 29 Aug in Manchester, KY
