My name is Brian Buchanan. I still live in Savannah. I want to start blogging again!

So since I last posted a lot has changed! I’m still involved with City Church Savannah and Shift Creative… I’m now MARRIED to Amber Buchanan (formerly known as Amber Terry)…

We have 2 dogs… Chuck and Snow…

I book hardcore/metal/rock shows in Savannah at City Church

Here some of the upcoming ones:

November 11th: Saints Amongst Thieves show - http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=226205877440759&ref=ts

We just had a huge festival here called Rocktoberfest which had 42 bands and was sweet! We’re planning another big one in the spring!

So that’s a quick update for now! Hopefully I remember to update this more!

Don’t believe everything you see on Facebook!

Did the “fairytale wedding” in a Disney’s Cinderella inspire Prince William and Kate Middleton? A prankster with some design skills (actually it’s not that hard to edit colors in a photo) released this side-by-side comparison of the royal wedding and the animated 1950 version.

Alas, there’s a bit of trickery involved here: the colors of the outfits worn by the animated characters have been altered from their originals. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the above image from going viral. I wonder if the person responsible will ever admit it was them?

See the real images from the Disney classic below.

Exciting news…

I love music!

I’ve been involved in almost every aspect of the music business (performing, radio, touring, etc).

I’m excited to announce that I’m diving into a whole new world (as Pocahontas would say it) as I relaunch doublebmedia.com and enter the world of artist management and booking.

Basically I’m going to hand pick a few bands and customize a plan to help make them successful.

So check out the countdown page at doublebmedia.com and be ready for the full site to launch April 15!

Nickelodeon is bringing back “The Adventures of Pete and Pete,” “Clarissa Explains It All,” “The Amanda Bynes Show” and yes, “All That”!

Beginning this fall, a block of throwback-tastic programming on TeenNick called “The ’90s Are All That” will start airing some of the best old Nickelodeon shows from midnight to 2 a.m. Pretty excellent news to start your Thursday, right?

The shows planned for the two-hour block of retro 90s programming include: “The Adventures of Pete and Pete,” “Clarissa Explains It All,” “The Amanda Bynes Show” and yes, “All That.”

Well played, Nickelodeon!

Now just bring back ”Salute Your Shorts”, “Hey Dude.”, “Doug” or “Legends of the Hidden Temple” and I’ll be set for life!

Free screening of the new movie Courageous!

Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. When tragedy strikes home, can a newfound urgency help these officers draw closer to God…and to their families? Protecting the streets is second nature. Raising their children in a Christ-honoring way? That’s courageous.

Sherwood Pictures, Provident Films, and AFFIRM Films / Sony Pictures invite you and a guest to an exclusive* pre-release screening of COURAGEOUS, the powerful new film from the creators of Fireproof and Facing The Giants.

My thoughts after seeing a free early screening of the movie “Soul Surfer”

Brian Buchanan — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 21:15:19 +0000

I never thought Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt, Carrie Underwood, and Jeremy Sumpter would ever team up to make a Christian movie… but I guess the devil had to bundle up and buy a snow shovel.

Seriously though it was an inspiring movie and Bethany’s storie is pretty cool. You can watch the trailer here:

You can get more info on the movie at http://SoulSurferTheMovie.com

For all my Ohio/northern friends and family… (funny snow picture)

My Extreme Makeover Home Edition experience…

Brian Buchanan — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 17:19:51 +0000

Last night the episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition featuring the Simpson family and Savannah aired! As many of you know as part of the episode I got an engagement ring to give to Amber!

Ty, Paul, Tracy, Ed, Paula, Shaun, the production crew, the builders from J.T. Turner, and everyone who helped or came out to the build were all amazing people to meet!

You can watch the full episode here: http://abc.go.com/watch/extreme-makeover-home-edition/SH559052/VD55106726/simpson-family
