>> Thousand Foot Krutch Fans To Experience Deja Vu
On September 8th, the same day that TFK's new album Welcome To The Masquerade drops, fans will get the opportunity to experience "Deja Vu," a collection of the past 3 albums on 3 discs in one set. EMI describes it as:

"In the past 9 years, Thousand Foot Krutch have made a name for themselves and delighted fans with their infectious rock anthems “Rawkfist”, “Move”, “Phenomenon”, and countless others while selling over 600,000 albums in the process. In September 2009 they will release their brand new album Welcome To The Masquerade generating major awareness which is the best time to remind current and new fans of TFK’s rich catalog. In anticipation of this, Tooth & Nail Records will release Déjà vu: The TFK Anthology a 36 song, 3-CD set including all the songs from TFK’s three albums: Phenomenon, The Art Of Breaking, & The Flame In All Of Us - all for just $18.99. This new anthology will be a great addition for fans that may not have all TFK’s best-selling catalog as well as a great way for new fans to discover and get all three catalog albums for a great price. Collections like this are a great way for stores to carry all of TFK’s albums in one SKU and make great gifts for the upcoming holiday season. 36 songs on 3 CD’s for just $18.99!"

Hmm... seems a little early to repackage the band's anthology, but if you're new to the band, this will be the set to get.

>> Cindy Morgan To Record Classics In Acoustic
Today, Cindy Morgan sent out a letter to her fans. In it, she asked for them to give her their top 5 favorite songs to get the acoustic treatment. Morgan writes, "I am in the process of going into the studio to do an acoustic favorites kind of record. As I make out the list of the songs from years past that are most special to me I am hoping that, if some of you have the time and inclination you would tell me which five you would like to hear... you can go back to old records.. I have a couple from the first two already on my list. Can't promise they will sound much like those versions but it should be fun." For more info, visit cindymorganmusic.com

>> Aaron Gillespie of The Almost To Perform Washington

Joseph Kony’s brutal insurgency has outlasted four U.S. presidents and 11 straight sessions of Congress. It is now Africa’s longest-running war and it’s time for it to be over. By taking action now, U.S. policymakers can put a stop to the LRA’s atrocities across central Africa and help put northern Uganda and the surrounding region on track towards lasting peace. Help rescue these child soldiers.

With your help, the biggest lobby day in American history will be history in the making, leading to long overdue peace and safety for the children caught in the crossfire of Joseph Kony’s war. For two days this summer, concerned citizens (and some high-profile cheerleaders) from every corner of the country will descend upon D.C. with one message: the time for peace is now, and this is how it ends. The program will include lobbying trainings, VIP speakers, a kick-off rally and will culminate in an unprecedented outpouring of activism on Capitol Hill, with hundreds of meetings taking place between Members of Congress and their constituents."
