IN THE NEWS:

Rumors are now circulating on several fan websites that Christian crossover band LIFEHOUSE has called it quits.  Music forums on these sites are suggesting that bassist Sergio Andrade and guitarist Sean Woolstenhulme may have left the group who had a number one hit “Hanging By A Moment,” which was the most-played song on mainstream radio in 2001.  Also the unconfirmed buzz is that frontman and co-founder Jason Wade and drummer Rick Woolstenhulme are still together and have left DreamWorks Records and are now signed with Interscope Records.  Lifehouse released two albums with DreamWorks--No Name Face in 2001 (which sold over 2 million copies) and Stanley Climbfall in 2002. <><

SOUNDBYTES:

TINMAN JONES has released a video for their new single "Guitar Saint" from their latest album Poetic.  Fans can catch the new video on the band's website at www.tinmanjones.com. <>< Actor Stephen Baldwin, a self-proclaimed Christian and also the younger brother of fellow actor Alec, has produced an evangelical, “extreme sports”-themed film called “Livin’ It” in conjunction with the Luis Palau Evangelistic Association.  The film will be distributed through Tooth & Nail Records with a release date of May 18th. <>< NEWSBOYS recently hosted a pre-race concert for the Pepsi 300 NASCAR Busch Series competition at the Nashville Super Speedway.  Tens of thousands of race fans caught the show and then watched race car driver Michael Waltrip win his 11th.

Top 20 Signs You Know You’re Living in 2004:

1. You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.

2. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.

3. You call your son's beeper to let him know it's time to eat.  He e-mails you back from his bedroom, "What's for dinner?"

4. Your daughter sells Girl Scout Cookies via her Web site.

5. You chat several times a day with a stranger from South Africa but you haven't spoken with your next door neighbor yet this year.

6. You check the ingredients on a can of chicken noodle soup to see if it contains Echinacea.

7. Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screen saver.

8. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

9. Every commercial on television has a Web site address at the bottom of the screen.

10. You buy a computer and six months later it is out of date and now sells for half the price you paid.

11. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 years of your life, is cause for panic and turning around to go get it.

12. Using real money (instead of credit or debit) to make a purchase would be a hassle and takes planning.

13. Cleaning up the dining room means getting the fast food bags out of the back seat of your car.

14. Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have e-mail addresses.

15. You consider second-day delivery painfully slow.

16. Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet.

17. Your idea of being organized is multi-colored “Post-it” notes.

18. You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.

19. You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls.

20. You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
