oh here's a weird thing i never mentioned, stephan jenkins added a spoken word section to "back to zero" at some point last year lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8HOjHzgEn0
"back to zero" is a top 10 3eb song imo
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 20 July 2016 20:45 (seven years ago) link

― Spottie, Wednesday, 20 July 2016 20:47 (seven years ago) link
i bought the album on itunes when it came out and nearly had a heart attack when i listened to it on spotify earlier this year
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 20 July 2016 20:49 (seven years ago) link
pretty sure 10 of the 12 songs off dopamine are top ten 3eb songs (atm, anyway)
― Spottie, Wednesday, 20 July 2016 20:49 (seven years ago) link
also the "get me out of here" video is hilarious

new song/ep forthcoming http://www.ew.com/article/2016/07/25/third-eye-cop-vs-phone-girl
new song is v embarrassing engagement with current sociopolitical realities i.e. "if there was a time" but also it's pretty good still
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Monday, 25 July 2016 19:38 (seven years ago) link
new ep is out october 7!!!!

Didn't love this one like last years full length but def a couple jams
― Spottie, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 03:59 (seven years ago) link
yeah it's uneven. "isn't it pretty" i think is trying to recapture "i want you" and it doesn't really work

i am enjoying myself so much
Stephan Jenkins: I wrote "Semi-Charmed" before I met Arion or any of the people in that make-up [of the band]. The drum loops on the final record are the ones that I originally recorded. I remember sitting in a room with this other songwriter who worked down the street -- she was a waitress -- and she came up and sat on the bed and we played each other some songs and I realized years later that the songs we played each other had sold 17 million records... it was [4 Non Blondes singer and mega-producer/songwriter] Linda Perry. She sang me a song called "What's Going On" and I sang her this song called "Semi-Charmed Life."
