me: "Sadie, what do you want to get Daddy for Christmas?" her: "A pretend toe, that looks and feels real and can never come off!"

Have a Merry Christmas everyone. We have hopes for a full-length Andy O album in 2011.

We here at andrewosenga.net want to wish Andy a very happy 29th birthday. If you’re near the Nashville area, wish him a happy birthday in person at his show tonight, 8 pm at The Rutledge.

Old School

A friend gave me this poster tonight, and I couldn’t help but scan it and share it with you for all its awesomeness.

Yes, this, my friends, is an old-school Normals poster, autographed by all three members, with our good buddy Andy Osenga in all his curly-haired splendor…. hehehe. Good for a chuckle or two on a cold December evening. (Of course, I’m not about to start posting pictures of me from my college days… yikes!)

Buy a piece of Andy

No, The Toe is not for sale.

However, Andy is selling a guitar – a Fender Tele “late 90â€™s Made-in-Mexico â€˜72 Thinline Reissue”.

He’s auctioning it right here on andrewosenga.net – just follow the link on the sidebar to visit the auction page.

Go check it out for all the details. Makes me wish I played electric guitar.

Christianity Today Reviews Letters to the Editor, Vol. 1

Christianity Today did a great review of Andy’s new record Letters to the Editor, Vol. 1. I know a lot of Andylanders emailed the magazine, and some actually called, and let them know about the record so that a possible review could be written. Just proves to show how affective this type of music production is. Well done, fans, for spreading the word, and well done, Andy, for putting out such great tunes.

New Music!

Chris Hubbs — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 12:57:43 +0000

A couple notes on new music from the Osenga:

A song off the upcoming Caedmon’s Call album is available on their Myspace page. While you won’t hear Andy’s voice on the song, you will hear him playing what he called “…of my favorite guitar solos Iâ€™ve ever played.” Sounds like this is shaping up to be a good album.
If for some reason you haven’t been keeping up with Andy’s blog, you will read here first that Andy is working on a new EP which he has written with a lot of input from his fans. He has also introduced the term “webground vocal” to the world – and he has received over 50 responses. Amazing.

Part of the Family

Tony Kevin — Tue, 22 May 2007 14:31:20 +0000

So we found out from our good friend Geof Morris over at CaedmonsCall.net that Caedmons is now a member of the INO records family. Rumors were floating all over the place and last night they were confirmed for us. Also, the former band member Derek Webb has been involved heavily in the production of the new record Overdressed. He wrote songs for the record, recorded vocals for the record, and will be joining the band in Spring of 2008 to tour the record.

Now, one might get a little worried about Andy. “Didn’t Andy replace Derek when he left the band?” Good question. The answer is a good hearty “no.” Andy didn’t replace Derek but simply joined the band. Andy is now part of the family. In Derek’s words, “Its almost like, for me, reuniting with your family and while you were away, there was a new adopted brother… He’s a new part of the family, a new personality, but he’s part of it!”

This is a big step in the direction of Andy’s band. And for some of his thoughts, here’s the interview Geof did with Andy some weeks back about the new direction: [Photo by Geof Morris]

Andrew on tour with Derek Webb

Chris Hubbs — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 12:19:23 +0000

Andy announced on his blog yesterday that he will be joining Derek Webb for a short tour as Derek kicks off his new album The Ringing Bell. The shows seem to be centered around Tennessee and the Carolinas, but if you get a chance to see one, don’t miss it!

While we here at ao.net appreciate the irony of Derek and Andy sharing the same stage, we are thrilled to hear that they will be doing so; we just wish they’d come further west so we could hear them play!

Andy on Virb!

Tony Kevin — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 15:16:35 +0000

In this world of “spaces” (MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, etc…), It is easy to get burnt out. I know I personally hate MySpace (for mulitiple reasons) so when I heard about Virb.com, I was very glad. Very glad to not see one advertisement and very glad to see how easy it was to have all the functionality of all the different “spaces” put into one. So yesterday, when I saw a friend request from new virb user “Andrew Osenga” It made it almost complete for me.

Yes, Andy is on Virb! Go check out his page! He has very many songs in his music player for free music listening enjoyment. Go make a virb, become his friend, and drop him a line! I know he appreciates line-dropping any day.

I don’t know, maybe Mr. Dwight K Schrute was right… Maybe this internet thing is just a fad… … but for now,
