Disney Channel Fans

Have you all seen the new music video for Caitlyn Taylor Love‘s “Even If It Kills Me”?

This girl is like, insanely talented. I know I’ve said it before, but she reminds be of a young Ashley Tisdale. I’m a little worried about what happens for her now that I’m in the Band has been cancelled but that’s why I’m so excited to see that she’s still perusing music.

You can even download a FREE mp3 of her single for a limited time on her Official Website: CaitlynTaylorLove.com

Wow! Our first Save I’m in the Band Day got our movement off to a great start. We lit up twitter and sent over a thousand emails to Disney!

I can’t directly track phone calls or paper letters, but I did my part and I hope at least some of you did as well.

We’ve also given away some great prizes to those who promoted and emailed on our first day. I’m still waiting to hear back from some of our twitter winners though, so please check your DMs if you haven’t already!

Of course, we still have a lot of work to do. That’s why I am proud to announce that our second Save I’m in the Band Day will be Friday May 6th 2011. You should use the next couple weeks to help us get the word out to even more fans. And please be sure to send paper letters as well! Depending on where you live, you may need to mail them by April 31st so get started now!

Help us save Disney XD’s I’m In The Band and you could win a signed cast photo!

Our first save I’m In The Band day is this coming Monday, April 4th 2011. It’s critically important that as many fans as possible participate if we are going to get Disney’s attention. And to encourage fans to both spread the word and to actually participate, we’re giving away seven cast pictures!

Visit our contests page at Save Disney Shows for full details about the giveaway.

We have also launched the Save I’m in the Band email program to make it easier for you to email Disney on Monday. Please feel free to modify the provided template letter, it’s only intended as a guide if you’re unsure of what to say. And please don’t just email, paper letters and phone calls are important too!

Well, dang it all. For whatever reason Disney XD has decided to cancel production on a third season of the original series I’m in the Band staring Logan Miller, Steve Valentine, Greg Baker, Stephen Full, and my girl Caitlyn Taylor Love.

At this point, details are still sketchy. All we know is that the series was not picked up for another season. We don’t know why, although it’s possible Disney found the ratings to be less than stellar. It seems unlikely a scheduling conflict or money issues like what happened with Phil of the Future would be the cause although it is too soon to say with certainty.

So now I guess it’s up to the fans. Are there enough fans to push for another season? We’ve organized a “Save Iron Weasel” movement over at Save Disney Shows complete with Disney mailing addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers and everything else fans will need to protest this unwarranted cancellation.

Our first Save I’m in the Band Day is Monday April 4th 2011. The Disney executives Carolina Lightcap, David Levine, and Adam Bonnett are probably the most important to write to. You can find their contact info and more on our website in the Get Involved Section.

Even if you’re not a fan yourself, please forward this information to anyone you know that enjoys the show. It’s critically important that we get the word out as quickly as possible!

So… I think y’all know that I really love Caitlyn. She’s super talented and looks just like a young Ashley Tisdale.

Anyway, I wanted to share these pics of her music video shoot back in October.

It still amazes me how I’ve managed to see Selena Gomez five times, I met Ariana Grande after less than a month of trying, yet I can’t seem to meet Caitlyn no matter how hard I try.

I was actually less than a city block away from her in October. But I didn’t realize it until an hour later. Curse you twitter.

As always, click any pic to see the full set. I’ll post the actual music video too if/when it’s finally released.

Caitlyn Taylor Love of Disney XD’s I’m in the Band got a start on her Halloween shopping on Wednesday.

She thought it would be a great idea to try on some different Halloween hats.

I really liked the hamburger hat.

And she looked amazing in that crown. Hmm… maybe there could be a princess themed DCOM in her future?

Or maybe she’s meant to be the court jester. LOLz

Which hat is your favorite?

Disney Channel October Highlights

Disney Channel is rolling out a lot of new episodes as part of their “October Takeover” Halloween promotion. Highlights include the season finale of Wizards of Waverly Place and JONAS LA.

There’s also a new Halloween special for Sonny with a Chance and The Suite Life on Deck (which Webmaster Greg says is a really good episode, and he would know because he went to the filming for that episode).

The Suite Life on Deck is also having a special cross over episode with Disney XD’s I’m In The Band.

A full list of new episodes coming in October along with episode air dates and summaries is available on the DC Fans Blog.

Suite Life Movie Announcement

Well, it’s official. Disney is making a Suite Life DCOM. There have been rumors of one circulating for a while, but what they’ve actually come up for the plot seems rather strange.

As the story goes, teenage twins Cody and Zack Martin receive an opportunity to participate in the prestigious Gemini Project at a high-tech research center that studies the dynamics between twins. Soon they find themselves connected in a way they’ve never been before: When one twin experiences a sensation, thought or feeling, the other twin feels it too. While this newfound power helps the boys see eye to eye for the first time, it ultimately puts them in more danger than they could have imagined.

Is this how Disney really intends to end the series?

It’s Halloween Time!

Halloween is by far the best recruiting day of the year. All year long we spend a lot of time encouraging everyone to get out there and find more people who don’t yet know about our movement(s). This might be by posting flyers around town, wearing SDS merchandise, and/or by posting about us online. But on Halloween, kids (and their parents) come right to your door. So put a couple flyers on it. Or pass out handouts with the candy. It’s a great opportunity for near free promotion that should not be wasted. Start printing your flyers and handouts now! For your convenience, we’ve organized our available flyers and handouts on our Halloween Bash Website. Spread the Word!

Hannah Montana Soundtrack

We all know that Hannah Montana season four will be the last for this series. And as a result, the last Hannah Montana soundtrack will be released this month.

The album covers much musical ground, from intimate ballads to straight-up high-voltage pop. “Gonna Get This” is a synth-laden pop duet between Miley and the Caribbean-based singer Iyaz, while the harmony-rich “Need a Little Love” pairs Miley with legendary singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow. Miley and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, sing together the ballad “Love That Lets Go,” a fitting tribute to their close relationship, both on screen and off. The sentiment continues on “Been Here All Along” and the wistful farewell, “I’ll Always Remember You.” But the album kicks into high gear with upbeat rockers like “Kiss It Goodbye,” “I’m Still Good,” and the club anthem “Are You Ready.” The soulful “Ordinary Girl,” “Que Sera” and the explosive pop of “Barefoot Cinderella” round out the album’s 11 tracks.

Selena Gomez’s New CD & Concert Videos

Speaking of new Disney CDs, the greatest Disney girl still on the network, Selena Gomez, just released her sophomore album A Year Without Rain.

Selena’s new album doesn’t disappoint. From the title track “A Year Without Rain” to her single “Round & Round” this album really delivers. But if you want more, check out Webmaster Greg’s concert videos from Selena’s sold out show at the LA County Fair.

See the concert videos now at the DC Fans Blog.

Greg met Ariana Grande!

And this has absolutely nothing to do with Disney, but over very own Webmaster Greg was lucky enough to hang out with some Nickelodeon stars including Ariana Grande of Victorious and the great Dan Schneider, creator of All That, The Amanda Show, Kenan and Kel, Zoey 101, iCarly, and more. It was all part of a fundraiser for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

It’s about time!

Caitlyn Taylor Love finally gets to sing in the I’m in the Band episode “Izzy Gonna Sing.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjJn5_SM1jo

Edit: Oops. Looks like the video is gone now. I’m glad I made the screencaps when I did!

Edit2: Okay, let’s try this new video!

On CTL’s official page, they called this: “Disney XD’s I’m in the Band last episode.” the use of the phrase “last episode” kinda bothers me. Last in the season or what? :/

Well, I asked her on twitter and she said it was the last “of first season.” Whew. I was worried there for a moment!

Anyway, Caitlyn did a great job as always. She has a fantastic voice.

Caitlyn Taylor Love is amazing. And she knows it too, just take a look:

She was also kind enough to RT / Reply to me on twitter.

Anyway, I’m sure I’m not the only one amazed by this up and coming actress and thought I would share these promotional stills I found.

These pics are all from her series Disney XD series I’m in the Band.

I’m so glad they at least occasionally let her sing.

Although sometimes, I feel they’re underusing her talents. LOL
