The
stereotypical listener to Third Eye Blind has been offered to me as a
preppy blonde teen girl. I do not agree completely. I have seen all types of people enjoy
3EB. At a recent concert there was a
mosh pit.
I actually have this crazy idea that people who like 3EB have something that others don't have. Whether it is a
higher conciousness or a fascination with sound, I don't know and I'm in no position to make that determination.
Pick up their
first,
self titled record if you're coming from the Metallica, Offspring, or
old school Sugar Ray scene. If you're from the Dave Matthew's Band, Wallflowers, Savage Garden scene pick up their
second record
Blue.
But definitely download the Semi-Charmed Life MP3 from
napster. It will bring back memories of the psuedo happiness that comes from a speed addiction (thats what it's about) and memories of the simple early 1990's when you heard the song on the radio but never persued it. I also recommend
10 Day's Late. I'll leave it up to
you to figure out real meaning of that song.
Regardless, their music is about life and friends with the occasional boy loves girl theme.
Do check them out, and node back if you think people who enjoy
3EB are different.
