(the lifehouse song i love is "spin," i even like the record it comes from)
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

For some reason I keep mixing up the heart in a blender song with “desperately wanting” by better than ezra

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

Robert Pollard a few years ago: "At one point, I thought music couldn't get any worse than Alien Ant Farm. Now, I'm nostalgic for Alien Ant Farm".

lifehouse was definitely a 'secret youth group' kind of band that quickly revealed itself to be basically adult contemporary BUT "hanging by a moment" is a classic honestly, most of the 'authentic' alt rock bands could never

that song is such a time capsule song
