third eye blind -- classic or dud

I have to agree with emil.y, I've never liked their music but I'm delighted they did what they did.

finally get what charlize saw in him

The band is playing at an air show tonight in Oshkosh Wisconsin.

My friend joked they're only going to play songs about boats.

what lou reed should have been?

I evidently referred to Steven Jenkins, fifteen years ago here, as a "shameless Ass Shogun."

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

new ep is out october 7!!!!

the new song is amazing

nice

yeah dig that

Ever give Dopamine a listen?

argh no but i will try to

it's good! especially "weightless"

Didn't love this one like last years full length but def a couple jams

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."

excited to read for surrrre

and blue imo

history of this thread is prob full of me overstating the greatness of blue

I would understand

oh look who revived this thread

Love that they keep talking about shoegazer guitars - I guess they do have that sound on some tracks, don't they? I should check out this group beyond the first album

if anyone wants to hear a new third eye blind record as recorded by an ancient emo band, i highly recommend the new album by the maine

this is the dumbest oral history of something ever. "we made demos, played the viper room, got signed." wow big whoop.

excuse me kurt, linda perry and stephan jenkins sold 17 million records combined

thats true. ste jenk played my work a few months ago and he was so out of it he could barely speak. linda p talks like a baby. i can just imagine those two hanging out in a shitty apartment in north beach mumbling to each other for hours.

Taco Bell sold over 17 millions doritos locos, do you want to read an oral history of that?

Yes TBH

this is fantastic

niiice

wow apparently from the s/t days! not a surprise at all given how it sounds

A+

all of the bonus tracks are either great or interesting (i had no idea "an ode to maybe" was demoed for the s/t as "kiss goodnight) but their cover of "heroin" is hilarious

BLUE is kind of the WOWEE ZOWEE to 3EB's CROOKED RAIN. except blue is kind of bad, lol

*deep breaths* BLUE ISNT BAD AT ALL

the show last night was the best i've ever seen them

"wounded" live is crushing
