Now Independent • updated 05.02.07 • Tim
I would call this a rumor for now as I have not been able to confirm it anywhere other than Wikipedia but is appears that both Jars of Clay and Caedmons Call have left Essential Records. Both bands are now independent recording artists.I would call this a rumor for now as I have not been able to confirm it anywhere other than Wikipedia but is appears that both Jars of Clay and Caedmons Call have left Essential Records.

Promo Site • updated 07.23.06 • Tim
A fellow Jars of Clay fan has alerted me to the new promotional website
for the Jars of Clay's upcoming album Good Monsters coming out
September 5th. Right now it just has some extended sound bites of
three of the songs off the album, along with some video clips,
and a newsletter signup. But eventually it will have more things
like videos and pictures of the band. On a side note, the side is
funky to use.

Sweet Relief • updated 05.08.06 • Tim
I wanted to find a better way to write this but I time has been tight for me for the last two weeks. So instead I will just post the news release. Make sure if nothing else you listen to Drive. It is pretty cool.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SWEET RELIEF MUSICIANS FUND TO BECOME FIRST MUSIC INDUSTRY NON-PROFIT TO ACCEPT WIRELESS DONATIONS; PEARL JAM, TEGAN & SARA, JARS OF CLAY, OK GO & GLEN PHILLIPS DONATE EXCLUSIVE REALTONES TO SUPPORT TO FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN; STREAM EXCLUSIVE TRACKS AT WWW.MYSPACE.COM/SWEETRELIEFMUSICIANSFUND
Los Angeles, CA, March 29, 2006 - Sweet Relief Musicians Fund (www.sweetrelief.org) is launching a ground-breaking campaign that will allow cell phone users a new means to support the organization: Text Messaging. Working together with Mobile Accord and Music for Charity Productions, Sweet Relief will use Mobile Accord’s mGive platform to enable a direct wireless based giving solution. From April 28 - July 28, 2006 cell phone users can simply text the keyword HEAL to short code 50555 (individual song-codes below) to pledge $4.99 to the organization; Each pledge allows the donor to download limited edition Real tones (actual recordings of the songs) directly to their cell-phones. Initial participants include Pearl Jam, Tegan & Sara, Jars of Clay, OK Go and Glen Phillips.
Song short codes:
Tegan and Sara, Love Type Thing: "HEAL 1000" to 50555 Jars of Clay, Drive: "HEAL 1001" to 50555 Pearl Jam, Crazy Mary: "HEAL 1002" to 50555 OK Go, Lately Its So Quiet: "HEAL 1003" to 50555 Glen Phillips, Everything But You: "HEAL 1004" to 50555
The donation, which appears on the user’s monthly cell phone bill, creates an effortless means to support musicians and transforms cell phones into true instruments of healing. Sweet Relief’s “Messaging for Music" campaign will be cross-carrier enabled, allowing users on most carrier networks to participate in the campaign. Sweet Relief is also allowing donors to purchase these limited edition real tones through a unique web-to-mobile application at www.sweetrelief.org.
The songs available for download are: Pearl Jam's classic cover of Victoria Williams’ Crazy Mary (originally recorded for the 1993 Sweet Relief compilation), a hard to obtain b-side from Tegan & Sara entitled Love Type Thing, and a version of The Cars’ Drive recently recorded by 2005 Grammy nominees Jars of Clay. Additionally, through this fundraiser, OK Go and Glen Phillips (formerly front-man for Toad the Wet Sprocket) will earn the distinction of becoming the first artists to release their new singles - Oh Lately Its So Quiet and Everything But You, respectively - as charity real tones. All these tracks can be streamed exclusively through Sweet Relief Musicians Fund's My Space profile: www.myspace.com/sweetreliefmusiciansfund.
According to Damian Kulash, OK Go's front-man and one of music's leading social activists, "This promotion is the perfect example of how the music industry, mobile and non-profit worlds should intersect in the digital age. The faster and more hi-tech our world becomes, the easier it is for us to block out everyone else and retreat into our own personal universes. But, technology can also be used to connect us with the world around us, and we must try to make sure that our high-speed universe is still a compassionate one. We need to remember to keep our community as a whole and healthy one, not just ourselves."
Glen Phillips, a longtime Sweet Relief supporter whose new record Mr. Lemons, is being released May 2nd on Umami/bigHelium Records (via HighWire/Fontana), agrees with Kulash, "Sweet Relief is allowing people to support music in a greater and more modest way than buying records or concert tickets; I love that you can download a ringtone and do good at the same time."
Thanks to our sponsors: Mobile Accord, Music for Charity Productions, D'Addario Strings, My Space, Knitting Factory - Los Angeles

On this page about two thirds of the way down in the Video Links are some streaming video links where the Jars talk about their song "Waiting For The World To Fall" that they did for the Narnia album.

After going through my junk mail the other day I noticed on MusiChristian.com they had the Music inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia album available for pre-order. The Jars were asked to write a song for the album. Their song “Waiting For The World To Fall” is the first song on the album. I have heard it live and it is pretty good.

I forgot to post this but Jarsofclay.com is reporting that the Jars will have some special guests on their fall tour starting around October or November. The guests are as follows: Chris Rice, Sara Groves, and Donald Miller. It is most likely that some of the guest will be trading on and off during those months. Otherwise the fall tour will be very similar to their spring tour.

Moments ago while working on the next version of the Jars World I discovered that jarsofclay.com has been updated with a new look. Due to outside issues I don’t know for sure when the new look went live. While the new site is very visually pleasing, I am not a big fan of it due to an issue. There still is not a way to bookmark anything on the site. Also the fan site toolbox is temporally down.
