Spirit West Coast

SWC is a Christian music festival that has been going on for a while - I went to the first three 97-99 (or 00?). Anyways, I went back today for the first time since then - and was struck by some of the changes

apparently the "official" line was that this "so-called" recession was all devil-inspired gloomy defeatism

So Phil Gramm left the McCain campaign to run SWC?

Disappointing that there weren't any new artist compilation CD's. I can see how that could be expensive to put together if the big record companies are involved, but you'd think there'd be plenty of new bands and smaller record co.'s who'd love to participate in something like that.

These CD's may exist, but if they do the record labels weren't at SWC to sell them. I did see a few compilation CD's, but all were from Sony-BMG and had some percentage of well established bands... perhaps I should have sprung for them anyway.
I don't know if there is an entity that exists that could do the coordinating for all the unsigned bands for compilation CD creation... except for a radio station, which mostly plays stuff from the big labels.... at least in CA. I've heard the Great Plains have a more active Christian music scene.
