Third Eye Blind

These guys just played "Semi-Charmed Life" during the halftime show of ArenaBowl's version of the Super Bowl. The choreographics consisted of a bunch of twelve-year olds doing a normal on-field cheerleader dance. What's funny is that they were dancing away while Stephan Jenkins is singing about how "she comes round and she goes down on me" and "doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break"..... funny.

Reminds me of the time Aerosmith sang "Pink" at the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards..... don't know the lyrics? Anyway, 3EB has been rather dormant the last couple years, but they have released some new material. Here's a taste.

Persephone

Carnival Baker

Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way b-sides

For those that like to complete the collection of songs that didn't make the full length studio albums, you're in for a treat. This is just the start of some pretty hard to find songs. All of these links are fixed!

Body of Water

Out of Range

Time

Rivers of Avalon

Someone

Teenager in Love

What is Soul (live)

Search and Destroy (live)

Maida Vale Sessions

By looking at the list it's obvious that I'm not into one certain band. Sure, there's a few that I've seen multiple times, but how many people have gone to a Dave Matthews Band show and then see Jay-Z five days later? Or cKy with a Coldplay concert a couple weeks apart? I rest my case.

For those that don't mind an optical illusion every now and then.

Who Made Who?

After several years of staring in front of a computer, flipping through albums at the music store, and thumbing past radio stations I just recently figured out where I have heard excerpts of U2's Beautiful Day. Don't bash me for calling Bono unoriginal UNTIL YOU'VE HEARD IT.

The comparisons are relatively easy to find.... just listen to the chorus of Beautiful Day, and listen to the first 40 seconds of Aha doing The Sun Always Shines On TV.

*songs are in AAC format...forgot to convert back to mp3. I'm an iPod junkie*

Beautiful Day - http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/5/31/44135/Beautiful%20Day.m4a

The Sun Always Shines On TV - http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/5/31/44135/The%20Sun%20Always%20Shines%20on%20TV.m4a

Told you so.

Covering Them

This is a short list of a few of my favorite cover songs.

Remember Kelis? Her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.... and she does a fine Chrissie Hynde impression as well.
Brass In Pocket - http://s17.quicksharing.com/v/9380822/Brass_In_Pocket.mp3.html

Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters belt out an old Pink Floyd cover.
Have a Cigar - http://s17.quicksharing.com/v/87124/Have_A_Cigar.mp3.html

Snow Patrol rockin it Beyonce & Jay-Z style!
Crazy in Love - http://s8.quicksharing.com/v/9007197/Crazy_In_Love.mp3.html

I cannot decide which of these two are better, so I've posted them both. Oasis did a fine job as well. Ladies and gentlemen, Cat Power and Ryan Adams perform Wonderwall.
