As I was posting the previous blog I realized that October 2nd is only ten days away, which means “Cannons” is only ten days away, which means I am getting very excited. Seriously, I’m really excited right now… it’s literally going to kill me… this excitement. What am I excited about? I’m excited for you guys to hear it. I’m excited to see and hear what the Lord is going to do with these twelve new songs.
And just to let you all know, a little extra help on your guys part would be muchly appreciated. “How can I help my buddy Phil?” you ask. Well, if you’re excited like me, then tell someone about it.
If you need some ideas then here is an example convo:
“Hey (insert name #1), you pumping some sweet iron?”
“Yeah (insert name #2), I’m trying to get my guns up to ‘cannon’ status in the next ten days.”
“What’s the occasion?” asked (insert name #1).
“Well (insert name #2), Phil Wickham’s new CD, “Cannons”, is coming out in ten days and I just wanted to be ready for it.”
“Yeah, that makes sense, and I’m glad you reminded me about it.”
“Me too (insert name #2), me too.”
Pretty easy right? Even the most mundane everyday activities can be used to spread the word! Let me know of your “Cannons” word spreading exploits. Anything from posting a link to shooting yourself out of a Cannon would suffice.
Y’all have a terrific day.

It feels like a countdown to New Year’s Day!!! Cannons! Cannons! Cannons!

Can’t wait to see you on Tuesday Phil!!!
Haha and I live all the way at the bottom.

Ok Raquel…..It should only take me about 50 to 60 hours if I drive straight thru to Florida……by then I’m sure I will need some coffee!!!! heheehe
Hey, I received no such email. Mine better have been shipped too!
WOO HOO!
I just got an email that my copy of Cannons has been shipped (:
Now I have to wait anxiously for its arrival -.-
So, I throrough enjoy working in Christian Retail. I have the pleasure of receiving a pre-release, and, Phil, I LOVE it!!! I praise God for the passion that he has given you. You have been given a great gift and have been faithful to to and our wonderful Father, and I know he is proud of you. I can only imagine how it feels for Him to hear your words of adoration and love. How beautiful. Thank you for striving to express praises for our King.
Your Sister in Christ,
Forever His Clay >
Thanks Shelby (:
And Kim I’ll go to Starbucks with you!
I’m addicted to coffee.
Hey Phil, I’m a Covenant College student and just wanted to say that I’m obsessed with “sailing on a ship”. I have listened to it about 72 times since your concert. Pretty sweet. The whole album is pretty amazing in general and I’m definitely a fan. I’ve also infected my roomate with phil-eria! Thanks for coming. It was a great blessing and I wish you could have stayed for the week. It was absolutely phenomenal!!
PHIL…..ISN’T IT TIME FOR YOU TO SAY “HI” AGAIN…..OTHERWISE WE ALL LOSE FOCUS..UHHH..IN CASE YA HADN’T NOTICED, ALL OF YOUR FANS HAVE A.D.D. AND WE GO OFF IN TANGENTS WITHOUT YOUR GUIDANCE….AKA…BLOGS. OHHH….AND INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW….DOES BRODY REALLY WEAR “I HEART PHIL” V-NECKS…???? AND I AM THINKING YOUR LOYAL BLOGGERY FANS SHOULD HAVE ONE…..HMMMM????? I NEED COFFEEEEE…..WHO WANTS TO GO TO STARBUCKS ????? CIAO !!!
Wow. So… yeah. wow. I am thouroughly enjoying reading raquel’s comments. they are HI-larious.
And Shawn, there is nothing wrong with owning an “i heart phil” tight V-neck t-shirt. they rock. :OP
well. anyways…. where is BRODY????!!!!
you know you’re excited for phil’s CD when you can’t stop singing all of his songs.
aaahhhh!!!! im sooo excited… im like counting down the days!! the day is coming so soon!!!… im sooo pumped!!! phil ur amazing…god bless :]
Hi Phil, I am such a big fan of your music and new haircut! I was listening to K-Love today and my jaw dropped when I heard you sing. I just sent them an e-mail and told them to keep playing your music. Enjoy the journey God is taking you on. Cannons will be a big hit. I am counting the days.
Haha I want an “I Adore PHIL” t-shirt.
Like the song “I Adore You”.
Yeeeeeah.
Hey….I wanna “I heart Phil” t-shirt….why should Brody be the only one ??????????
6 DAYS PEOPLE!! 6 DAYS!!
Yeah.
And it would be better if he came down to our local Christian station. But unfortunately it was sold to some other organization and is shutting down.
I’m depressed :[
I just introduced my best friend to your stuff…she’s the editor of the student newspaper at ORU here in Tulsa (you guys will be here Oct. 26!) We’re attempting to get comp. tickets, since Cain’s Ballroom has always been good about letting us in with press/photo passes. I have a feeling the review will be on a full-color page, but you have to promise to smile pretty for the camera.
Counting the days til Cannons/Remedy Club Tour/extra happy things.
Rachel
Just did a survey via e-mail for K-Love Insiders & After Your Heart was one of the songs to review…I gave it the best mark a 5 & suggested that they play it more often. I’m doing my own little part to get the word about Phil out there more. I told them I love the station, my only suggestion would be “PLAY MORE PHIL WICKHAM!” Phil should go do a live interview at the ranch w/ Jon & Sherri of the morning show-(David Crowder was there last month!) Not to step on the toes of the self proclaimed promotions director Raquel or anything…I’m sure she’d agree! Right Raquel?
I think I have been on his myspace once to look at tour info. Other than that to answer your question, no I don’t go on Phil’s myspace daily.
I don’t have any “Philbanners” up and I do think there is something wrong with a guy doing that for some reason.
Although I bet Broady Harper owns a tight V-neck “I heart Phil” T-Shirt.
Shawn…….dude…how could you not be in the cool loop ???? Are you telling us you don’t check Phils mysapce on a daily basis….like maybe some of us might admit to it if we had to ????? Go ahead….I am sure there is no shame in a guy putting all the Phil banners up….etc…but, if you win the ipod….you best be sending it my way….lol !!!
Charleen…..I remember the
“real first” CD also…..I still listen to it….the first time I saw Phil was right after he came out with that one….gosh..he was just a kid !!!!! I always thought he would have been ” a household name” years ago….but, it has surly happened in Gods timing…and I believe that Phil is as humble as he is because it didn’t happen over night. Praise God.
Goodnight everyone…or good morning as you probably will see it tomorrow…duh to me !! ;] Kim B.
Hey phil!
My sister, allison, and I used to see u at calvary camps n at calvary vista on sunday nights. i remember even your very first cd, the one that was kinda blue-themed. it’s so awesome to turn on the radio and hear you FINALLY on there..geez took you long enough…
it warms the heart to see how much God has blessed you in the past 5 years…
congrats with everything and glory to God for all that He has chosen you to do
Thanks for all those blessed nights of sincere worship!
Cya soon i’m sure..
there’s nothing wrong with hanging out with Texans.
haha
we’re a good influence
ONE WEEK UNTIL “CANNONS”!!!
I think everyone within a 100 mile radius knows about it too.
My close friends are just about fed up with my giddy proclamations of excitement for the CD release.
Can’t wait to see you at the Berry Center again on the 6th Phil!!!
Phil! only 7 days now! woohoo! I am so, so excited to finally be able to hear all of the tracks! I was so blessed the other morning to wake up to Air1 and hear them doing an interview with you! I was like, “yeah Phil! yeah Cannons! yeah Jesus!”
you are wonderful!
I have been telling everyone I know on Facebook to be looking for it next week! sadly, I haven’t been to the gym lately to use your oh so helpful convo example to promo it even more, haha
K, 7 days!!! yeah!!
Be safe and well.
He’s been spending too much time with those Texans, I think. But then, you shouldn’t listen to me…I’m from southern Pennsylvania and we say “ya’ll” all the time.
BTW Phil, I have been telling everyone about your new album. I’m excited to see what God does through you.Thank you for being such a willing instrument for Him.
