Guess what came in the mail today???

I checked my tweets on Twitter Monday when I noticed it. "No way, no way!" I said, stunned. I checked the tweet to make sure I read it right. "No way!" I said again, excitedly this time. Sure enough, what I was reading was true. I had won the most recent Inpop Records Freebie Friday giveaway!

I quickly showed my mom, who got excited with me. I quickly send Inpop a direct message letting them know my address, and then I went to go look at the picture Inpop had posted showing all the stuff that would be given away. All I had really paid attention to when I entered was that it was a Superchick merch giveaway.

I figured that I would have at least a week to wait for the package to come. So imagine how surprised I was when I came home from work today (two days later!) to see that the package was already here!

My heart was going a million miles an hour as I pulled the goodies out of the manila envelope. There was a "ta-da" moment as I showed it to my family (who were all eagerly waiting to see what was in the bookbag as much as me). Then I started to pull stuff out bookbag.






As you can see, there is a bookbag (from their first remix album, Regeneration), that was holding all my stuff inside. If you look closely, you can see that it was signed by the members of Superchick! I also got Superchick's most recent album, Reinvention, which was also signed by the band!








There was also a small poster from their
Last One Picked album. This one from
today was signed on the back. I also now have
Superchick shoelaces and a rub-on tattoo.












Then there was the other wearable stuff. There is a really cool hat that is from the Last One Picked days too. It has a quote from on of the songs off that CD, "All princes start as frogs." And it has a cute little frog on it. And its signed too!






And finally, there was one last thing that was just the icing on the cake for me.

Yup, you guessed it. I got Superchick's (now signed!) set list!!!! This is my first ever set list! I must say, I about fell over when I realized what this scrap of paper was! It's totally going in a frame :)

So, needless to say, I'm very happy with my prize from Inpop Records! Thanks Inpop, and thanks Superchick!

Inpop Records putting some pop in our lives


With the excitement of several new CDs coming out soon by artists such as Jimmy Needham and Superchick, and the joy of winning a special FreebieFriday prize pack on Twitter, I decided to learn more about Inpop Records, an independent Christian record company.


In my research, I was surprised to discover that Inpop was created by Peter Furler (former lead vocalist for the Newsboys) and the Newsboy’s band manager, Wes Campbell in 1999. The two started the label with the purpose of “discover[ing] the best artists around the world that understand the grace of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and who also have something new and unique to offer the world of Christian music” (Wikipedia).


The unique name of Inpop was born through Furler and Campbell’s desire to highlight the talents of international pop artists. Clever, isn’t it?


Inpop Records has a great variety of artists on their roster, such as Newsboys (obviously, haha), Jimmy Needham, NEWWORLDSON, and Superchick. (For a complete list, make sure to visit Inpop Record’s website!). I was surprised and pleased to discover how many of my favorite artists were a part
of this label. Plus, there were several bands I hadn’t heard of before who were listed. Guess I’ll be listening to Inpop’s music player, Inpoparazzi to get a sampling of songs from these bands!


I’ll leave you all with a song from the Newboys from several years ago, Love Liberty Disco-one of my favorite songs of theirs.
