Iconic and emerging musicians are lending their voices to ' Occupy This Album ' in support of the Occupy Movement. Artists like Yoko Ono , Crosby & Nash , Michael Moore , Willie Nelson and more are joining to help and through record sales, financial support the continuation of the Occupy movement. The album is due to be released in Spring 2012. All proceeds received from the sale of the album will go directly to the Occupy movement. [...]
1998 was a great year. Here are some of its best songs. One of the most recognizable rifts of our generation. The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony I get knocked down.. Chumbawumba - Tubthumping Kinda depressing, but a classic. Third Eye Blind [...]

"You read me wrong I wasn't trying to lead you on Not like you think I didn't mean to turn you on" I didn't. It's just that she looked so much like Katy Perry, and when the DJ played "If We Ever Meet Again," it felt like she ought to be with me, dancing torso to torso. If we had been anywhere else, she certainly would have been the center of attention, with her flawless skin, piercing blue eyes and [...]

![Brandon's TBE Digest 31 – [12.11.2011] New Jams, Remixes, & Covers!](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3922870_lg.jpg)
Artwork by Jacob Youngblood Ziegler Brandon's TBE Digest is a place where I gather up all the recent jams that are worth a listen (or 10) but don't necessarily need their own post. Here you will find new tracks by known bands, remixes, covers, and even mashups if they are interesting. My favorites of the lot are in bold . This may be the last Digest I do like this. I'd really like to take the time to give the best of these tracks the solo post they deserve. If [...]

A little over two months after first arriving at Zuccotti Park, Occupy Wall Street is getting its own benefit album.
Filed under: News , New Music , New Releases Slaven Vlasic, Getty Images It was only a matter of time until the Occupy movement spawned an album. Now the 99 percent can get fired up with 'Occupy This Album,' an environmentally-friendly digital release featuring musical heavyweights like Crosby and Nash , Devo , Lucinda Williams , Yo La Tengo , Toots and the Maytals and Third Eye [...]

Third Eye Blind's Stephan Jenkins took time out from writing his bands fifth album this week to pen a track in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Stephan, whose been active for years in progressive politics, sees this as a galvanizing moment. "I hope it achieves its goals of starting new politics that are counter to the trend towards oligarchy that's been increasingly foisted on us these last few years." "If There Ever Was A Time" is,...

The cult following that has developed with Third Eye Blind in the last years has been difficult to describe to anyone who hasn't been there. During the recording of the band's forthcoming album, due out Spring 2012, the band had an idea to capture the fans during one of the band's most popular songs. In October 2011 at a sold-out show in New York City, 3eb captured this fan intensity by turning the cameras on the audience and playing a...

Decided to switch the theme up a little bit this Thursday. I was scanning through my iTunes and came across these classics from wayyy back. Spin Doctors - Two Princes Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life Had to throw Marky Mark's claim to fame in here too. Marky Mark - Good Vibrations (ft. Loleatta Holloway & the Funky Bunch)

Een van de nummers waar ik altijd al een zwak voor heb gehad is het vrolijke Semi-Charmed Life van Third Eye Blind. Hoewel het tekstueel minder vrolijk is omdat het gaat over een jongen die net gedumpt is, zijn de du-du-du's aan het begin van het nummer voor mij het teken om los te gaan. Misschien wordt ik ook zo blij van het nummer omdat ik er gewoon goede herinneringen aan heb. De laatste jaren van de middelbare school, heerlijke lange dagen, op de fiets naar huis meezingens met teksten waarvan ik geen idee had waar het over [...]

As far as charity records go, there may be none more sonically giving than Live From Nowhere Near You: Vol. 2 . Organized to benefit Outside In , a Portland, OR-based non-profit that offers aid and counseling to homeless youth, the compilation features rare and unreleased tracks from Elliot Smith, Eddie Vedder, Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock, The Strokes, Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes, and a slew of other artists (check out the gargantuan tracklist below). Now, before everyone lays down their $15 for the three-disc collection, which you can do so here , the [...]
![[MILESTONE] The Burning Ear's 1000th post! A Celebration Mix!](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3526263_lg.jpg)
Wow. Another mind-bending milestone in the TBE saga. 1000 is a big number but in the grand scheme of things it will only be the tip of the iceberg. Running this site for the past 28 months has been an honor and privilege and we all look forward to dropping more sweet jams for a long time to come. For now lets celebrate with a little mixtape I put together below. There is a theme in there somewhere... There are some potential changes to the site underway but until I get a breather from work I won't be [...]
Not the strongest weekend we've ever had, but there are still some pretty solid shows happening around town. The show scheduled for Saturday at the Taste Of Addison Main Stage isn't really one o...

Friendly Giant combines one of the most played out singles on alternative radio with Drake's "Best I've Ever Had" to great effect. A little late for using "Best I've Ever Had" but better now than never. In fact, I am surprised a mashup using these two songs hasn't been done before. They fit perfectly together.

Toronto - Royal Wedding, Osama Bin Laden, Fast Five and the Canadian election. You've had a lot to handle this past weekend, so why not relax at a show? Yacht Lee's Palace, April 2nd Portland's Yacht put on a helluva show the last time they were in town, resulting in group prayers, stage invasions and the like. Tonight, they will be bringing all that and new tracks off their most likely soon to be released un-named record. Whatever it is, I'm sure that Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans will [...]
