My best friend liked the heart in a blender song. We are still bff's, perhaps slightly diminished

(YouTube’s page for the song is advertising an Eve 6 show w/Alien Ant Farm on Jan. 1 in Lincoln, NE... guess they’re going for the gold with their promo blitz)

nothing gets people excited for an Eve 6/Alien Ant Farm show more than lowered standards due to being stuck indoors for a year

Hot take: Leech is a better song than Inside Out.

I sang the heart in a blender song at karaoke last year and I’m pretty sure it inspired this eve 6 comeback

'Here's to the Night' is one of the worst songs ever to get heavy video rotation. Friend and I still sing "Are you cooooool with just tonight" to each other in dude's outrageous style for mild laughs

I was gonna say, people who say they only know the heart in a blender song obviously did not graduate high school in 2001, when "Here's to The Night" was being used at a bunch of graduations/proms.

my god, what a piece of shit song
― kniphofia face (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 23 December 2020 04:26 (three years ago) link
rather have "Here's to the Night" than "(Good Riddance) Time of Your Life"

our graduation song was Sarah McLachlan's "Angel". a dire song but the competition was 3 other shit songs so it won by not being the worst

the drummer from Semisonic actually released a book about the one-hit wonder experience which was pretty entertaining
was it called Rendezvous, Then I'm Through With You

Apparently the band covered TLC’s “Waterfalls,” and were so proud that they used the track as a b-side on two different singles?

Fuck, I forgot about "Here's To The Night" (which was beaten out for senior song by "Good Riddance").
A girl who liked me complimented me by saying I looked like the singer for Eve 6 (I did not) - ran into her a decade later and she was amazed that I didn't pick up on that as her flirting with me.
― Joe Biden Stan Account (milo z), Wednesday, 23 December 2020 04:45 (three years ago) link
new hot take: the eve 6 brand revival is all a stunt to promote this new ringo starr single that apparently came out 4 days ago
xp
I think I can visualize the video - lots of motion stopped camera work where the singer starts moving when everyone is frozen (or vice versa)?
Not really - it’s the dude creepily videotaping a girl at a high school party (interspersed with shots of him singing earnestly to the camera)

No judgment, but if my Wikipedia page revealed that this guy was my uncle, I’d probably go to some lengths to get that line removed.

The album's first single, "Think Twice," is a hard-rocking angst anthem about struggling for the courage to leave an unfaithful lover. "Think twice before you touch my girl," Max Collins sings in the chorus. "Come around/ I'll let you feel the burn."

For one, he seems to have flipped his opinion about Hail to the Thief, the Radiohead album he said represented how “we, too, are nationally unwell.” Now, he considers it the band’s best record, saying, “I know it’s not as canonical as OK Computer or even Kid A, but it holds together better than almost any of the others.”
Mayor Pete is lj confirmed.

my cousin's graduation song was "bittersweet symphony" which i thought was actually a great choice. my mom enjoyed it so much she became a verve fan
i went to a weird dual-credit high school program at a community college and can't remember what graduation song we decided on but i do remember us walking out to the indiana jones theme

mine was “at the beginning” by donna lewis and richard marx from don bluth’s anastasia and they don’t just play them; in my case at least the entire senior class had to rehearse singing it. not too rigorously tho.

I mean this is basically the era of "Songs that would occupy Mix CDs made by Teenaged Me, because I wasn't going to actually bother and purchase the entire album for one good song, and I was desperately trying to get into popular music but had no interest in Boy Bands, Rap, or Nu Metal". And over the span of several CDs, I ended up having FOUR separate Eve 6 songs on them!

This week I learned that Light in the Attic sells colored vinyl reissues of a bunch of albums from this era, including Eve 6

Lifehouse always had secret "we formed in our church's youth group" vibes to me, but maybe it's because the singer reminded me of a kid from my church.

formative moment for 12 year old me: after months of listening to hanging by a moment on WHFS in that monumental summer of 2001 (nickelback's first hit! sum 41! alien ant farm! staind! FUEL!!!) - realizing just how bad of a singer the guy is after they started splicing in live performances from that year's HFStival
i realized then and there that we weren't entering a new golden age of recorded music. we were so close
