How are you liking Overground bbshorts I really am digging the album now. The jazzy vocals and guitars remind me of "Champagne". In fact, I like to think of this album as Zack's brother album to From Chaos just like Introducing is to Transistor. I am also digging Qedrowan's demo. Thanks J...

niiiiice. I love that album dude

Yeah! It is a great album!

How are you liking Overground bbshorts also what does your name mean? Thank you again so much for sharing the album! :) I love the first track "Alone". It's like drum and bass mixed with Jazz and Latin music. I was expecting more saxophone and less singing, but it turned out to be the opp...

I have the Qedrowan Demo mp3s. That playlist link with them listed is my dad's Earthlink personal web hosting space and that is list of my iTunes library from like 2004. I remember chatting with Zack Hexum on AIM in 2004 and saying that I preferred the Qedrowan version of "Tell Me A Story"...

Can someone update the Transistor B-side section? Apparently "Clone Me" was an early version of "Tune In". Evidence found in this thread:

Listened to it again the other day for the first time in a while. Enjoyed it way more than I remembered. Alot of people slam it, but it has some good tunes on it. Too bad some of the best ones were bonus tracks/b-sides (Get Down, Sun Come Through, Simplify, Week of Saturdays) but at least we have t...

Which song(s) have saxophone in them? I want to hear Zack on his main axe.

http://www.fearofablankplanet.com/artists/rock/extended_jams/overground_what_happens_now.html According to this article, apparently the same band added an organist and changed their name to Qedrowan. http://home.earthlink.net/~sleslie1/library.html From the above site, they had a demo featuring the...

Smoke, are you still willing to upload it? You can use MediaFire. Does anyone have Zack Hexum's Realistic Fantasy EP? I never knew he made this. One of the tracks from it is on his Myspace page. I just looked. He doesn't have Realistic Fantasy or Overground: What Happens Now? on his official site or...

They are making a joke out of "one spin" because OP said "it [My Shadow Pages album] will get a fair amount of spins".

I really liked Ghostwolf's stuff, although it took several listens to really dig it, mostly because as a huge fan of SA's rapping style was expecting Ghostwolf to be rap oriented and well obviously isn't. Ghostwolf's stuff is very much "Inner Light Spectrum" like After hearing "Slow ...

I'd like to get in on this discussion. Agree agree agree. Although hopefully without cursing it, the BB lately seems to be the best it has ever been in a long time. Not that I'm on it every day anymore but it just seems like there's a whole lot less cyber bullying and negative posts. There's certai...

I like it, but I can see how some people might see the rapping as cheesy and the instrumental as mediocre compared to their other songs, including those from Soundsystem.

???? Ok, I give up. What do you think is a good example of a 311 song with cheesy rapping, yet a good riff underneath? Solar Flare?

Lol that song is super repetitive, riff and lyrics.

I bet it was made up on the spot or they used an old riff they had for a while but never used before.

dj3stripes wrote:Your go-to for killer good riff underneath the cheese rap is Psycho?

Yeah. Ok maybe another example? Evolution?

They mostly come out at night....mostly. But yeah, hoping that these raps arent forced and cheesy to all hell...I cannot handle cheese-rap. Cheesy melodies are at least enjoyable that they are sung and a melody and may have a harmony which can cover up the cheese....but...cheese rap is just a big s...

If you stick to the Album Chat and/or Tour Talk sections of the forum, you'll mainly get fans who respect 311, past and present. Random Thoughts is questionable, though. I go there for the laughs and to waste time at work, not to talk about 311. I agree with Smoke. The "Fan Forum - Random Thou...

LOL, well put!

From Nick's twitter. Also, I just found this:

A wish of happiness, purportedly a literal translation (from an unknown language) is, "May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman"
