just in the christian music scene?

1. shawn mcdonald
2. jon foreman
3. derek webb
4. david crowder (i know he has a xanga… but seriously)
5. that’s all i can think of

in general?

1. scott weiland
2. james hetfield
3. bono
4. jack black
5. serj tankian

jc chavez
vanilla ice
madonna
axel rose
avril lavign

5. Michael Jackson
4. Jack Black
3. Brian Regan
2. Bono
1. Dave Grohl

hit them up…

Switchfoot (Jon would be a great start)
Taylor Sorensen (he does have MySpace)
David Crowder
Toby Mac
Kutless

Beth

Stephen King
George Lucas
Stephen Hawking
Glenn Gould
Paul McCartney

Nichole Nordeman (although she’s semi-retired — boo!)
Sara Groves
Mute Math (they do do a decent job w/video updates — bloggers in the making!) :p
Shawn McDonald
Bethany Dillon (she keeps a journal, but it’s not very regular — I think she’d have a neat blog!)

Seriously great questions..This is fun

1)TobyMac

2)Fee

3) Jody McBrayer formerly of Avalon

4)Mark Hall or his friends

5)jeremy Piven

I would initially think you would mean within the “Christian” music industry correct?

derek webb
david crowder…i agree with joshua
switchfoot
tobymac
sara groves

And by ‘Artist’ do you only mean musicians? b/c I like Seth’s list

GREAT question!

I’m probably seconding some people:

1. Switchfoot
2. Nichole Nordeman
3. Derek Webb
4. PFR (Joel!)
5. Rebecca St. James

dave barnes… he blogs randomly, but not very often. his writing is just as clever and funny as he is in person!

Tim Rosenau - Lead Guitar for Toby Mac

1)Glen Phillips (he just started, but not very regularly)
2)David Crowder (agree with other comments)
3)Derek Webb (surprised he doesn’t already)
4)Shane Claiborne (he might have one but I’m not sure)
5)Rob Bell (ditto to Shane Claiborne)

I must mention to Amy that Fee does blog and it’s great and linked right here from Brody.

Mmmmmmm. Let me think. Well for one, I’d definately have to say Bono like everyone else, but the possibility of that happening is very low. Next would probably have to be the guys from coldplay. Love Colplay. Oh Oh, Darlene Zchech and Martin Smith and Evan Wickham and Robbie Seay and Brenton Brown and Leeland and Jeremy Riddle and Sigur Ros and Casting Crowns and David Crowder and John Mayer and Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney and Snow Patrol and Definately Sufjan Stevens and Telecast and the Afters and the Fray and Todd Agnew and Esterlyn and I think that’s it. Wow I hadn’t realized how much people I named off. If you could get about 90% percent of those people to blog Brody, you would be the King. I know you can do it, just go for it.

Easy.

1. This Holiday Life [already have a blog, but don't really update very often. Their last post was 4 months ago.
2. Edison Glass.
3. House of Heroes.
4. Jon Foreman, definitely.
5. Oh and get Evan [Wickham] blogging. He has Twitter, but I’d like to see him write and not be limited to 140 characters.

mat kearney
derek webb
paul meany
sandra mccracken
david crowder

I’ll echo some of the same here:

1. Jon Foreman (he writes on his myspace blog, but not much)
2. Crowder (get him off xanga) and any members of his band.
3. Shane and Shane. Seriously, have you seen the killer interface they have on the “journal” section of their site? Sadly enough, it’s not been update for 2 years.
4. Derek Webb.
5. Jars of Clay. They have a blog, but it’s updated maybe every few weeks.
6. BONO. Yes. Go for it, Brody! ha ha

If any of these don’t already…

1)The guys from Delirious
2)Downhere
3)Kristian Stanfill
4)Shawn McDonald
5)Christy Nockles

5. Derek Webb
4. Beth Dillon
3. Sara Groves
2. Nathan & Christy Nockels
1. Leeland

I’ll be realistic:

1. The Afters
2. Switchfoot/Jon Foreman
3. The Myriad the band like the whole MercyMe blog
4. Leeland!
5. Mark Stuart from Audio A

why is no one saying chris tomlin. he is it in christian music right now, go get him brody.

other than him.

foreman or switchfoot
shawn mcdonald
dcb, outside of his xanga junk.

1. Hillsong United (group blog)
2. Crowder (more frequently)
3. Shawn McDonald
4. Shane & Shane
5. Bob Hartman (seriously, think of the stories he could tell)

EVAN WICKHAM (and I know Gene Pensiero will back me up on that, cause he’s actually posted about it before on his bloggy).

Come on - it’s so Evan. He’s an awesome guy with a wonderful ministry and family. He has blessed music and is an excellent writer. He already does tweeter (and likes it). Plus, you’ve already hung out with him so it wouldn’t be awkward at all. Besides you could enlist Phil to help. If you and Randy set it all up so it’s ready to go for him, he could totally rock it.

Again - Evan Wickham needs to blog, seriously. You know deep down inside that Evan needs to blog, am I right?! lol

There, I’ve said my piece…I’m shuttin’ it now.

Have a blessed weekend, Melody

So this was tough and i’m echoing a lot of what some people have said.

1. Crowder - again - get him off Xanga
2. Shawn McDonald (his wife was really into blogging then disappeared & he has a blog but doesn’t update very often)
3. Downhere (i think we talked about that; besides 2 of their members already blog so it shouldn’t be too hard to get a group blog)
4. Hillsong United (i’m glad Jeff M. said that cause I thought I was crazy thinking that:) )
5. Newsboys (i know, it’s a pipe dream!!) but you asked!

I echo the Chris Tomlin suggestion.
He had one but hasn’t updated in like a year.

brook fraser
evan wickham
jimmy abegg
christy nockels
angelina jolie - don’t judge me (:

Brooke Fraiser
Snowpatrol
Phil Danyew
Fallborn
Keith Urban

1. Jon Foreman
2. Dave Barnes (How has only one person mentioned this? He is HILARIOUS. He has the heart of a blogger.)
3. Sara Groves (Whew… that would be genius.)
4. Evan Wickham
5. I echo all comments on getting Crowder off of Xanga.

marc byrd (hammock… on a more frequent basis)

martin smith

ryan adams

jason morant

bob dylan (why the hell not?)

pt anderson (genius)

jd salinger (would never happen)

I’m having a really hard time adding these up…. so far it looks like Crowder is in the lead with Jon Foreman, and Derek Webb right behind. Is that right?

mewithoutYou.

Hey Brody, what do you think of what Sanctus Real did for blogging? Each member setting up personal blogs like that? Just wondered.

I’m not sure if they started slacking or not, though. I thought it was a pretty unique way to go.

don miller
bono
shane claiborne
rob bell
tony compolo

Ok so most of these guys are not artists

Could only think of 3:

1. The Edge.(Reading “U2BYU2″ convinced me that not only is he an amazing musician…he’s also hilarious and really sharp. Plus, do we really need to give Bono ANOTHER platform with which to assault us?)

2. Grohl

3. Paul Baloche

Brody, the top 5 are:

1. David Crowder
2. Jon Foreman/Switchfoot
3. Derek Webb
4. Shawn McDonald
5. Evan Wickham

I’m pretty sure.

1. Jon Foreman
2. Dan (from weaver at the loom)
3. Bono
4. Ben Olin (from This Beautiful Republic)

[...] Now I am off to grab coffee with this guy and show him the results of what we talked about here. [...]

There’s a good list here already, I’d just like to add Leeland Mooring. I feel like he’d have great posts!

1. Jon Foreman
2. Bradley Hathaway
3. Ben Olin
4. Dan (from Weaver At The Loom)
5. Matt, Chris, Mark, Pete and Dan (from Sanctus Real. See, they do have blogspots, but they don’t really post that much..)

=)

Paul Meany/Mute Math -
Their bass player blogs on blogger, which is cool. He’s kinda sporadic though. He does bass lessons and notes about tours when they tour. It’s roymitchellcardenas.blogspot.com

here’s my list

1. Rebecca St. James
2. David Crowder
3. Krystal Meyers
4. Bethany Dillon
5. Brenton Brown

and please tell them to tweet too.. RSJ does but not the rest..

1.phil wickham (i know he blogs already, but not that much.)
2.Leeland
3.Starfield
4.Me…. haha. jk.
5.Switchfoot/Jon
