Here's what's happening TODAY in Christian music...

1. While cleaning out his backpack yesterday, Switchfoot's Tim Foreman found some hotel notepads that had the lyrics from when he wrote the song "What It Costs" in Melbourne, Australia. He said it was a pretty cool memento from a really heavy day. He used two different pens; one faded, the other didn't. The words "make it last" did just that, he said.
