![]() ![]() Simply put, 3EB may be pop.but it's pop of a different caliber entirely. My newfound friend and I somehow got to talking about how we both had a soft spot for it and after he hooked up a burned copy I listened to it all the way through and was blown away. I was a freshman in high school and my copy of 3EB's album was gone somehow. It seems entirely stupid now, but in those days of prepubescent anxiousness all of the songs sandwiched in between just seemed like fluff.įast forward to 2003. As such, I would put the CD in my lil' stereo/alarm clock combo and only listen to the singles. My attention span had some troubles in my youth and it was no different in regard to music or academia. I didn't have much of an allowance at the time but I bought the album rather quickly. This was way back in 1999, where despite being out for a whole two years their self-titled album's holy triumvirate of singles–"Semi-Charmed Life," "Jumper," and "How's It Going to Be"–were still in HUGE rotation on commercial radio. Perhaps it was the melodies or the catchy lyrics, but Third Eye Blind intrigued me. It was now set to Star 101.5, home to much more 'adult' pop. But the summer following fifth grade brought a drastic change in my radio dial. A confession: When in elementary school, the only music I really followed was Radio Disney and its respective catalog of teenybopper bullshit. ![]()
