it's march 11 - 3/11 - and one of my fave bands, 311 (that's "three eleven") , has a new album coming out in...june? yep, june 2nd. i'm looking forward to this because i need something new and awesome to jam to, and it has been a while since the last album (which i didn't buy). if you are a 311 fan, good for you. if you can't stand them, that's ok. if you're not familiar w/ their stuff, you should be. go listen to their greatest hits album. that disc has spent a lot of time in my cd player. actually, i think it's in there right now. anyway...woah. i just looked at when the 311 self-titled album came out. that's the one with "down" and "all mixed up." dude. 1995? has it been that long? i remember listening to that in jo beth's garage while i helped her and tessa paint run-thrus for the football team. shit, i feel old. and i'm totally not.
anyway, today i was doing some paperwork and listening to project 9-6-1 as usual. i am so tired of hearing "bad girlfriend" and "crazy train." anyway, aly had nick from 311 on the phone in honor of 3/11. he was talking about the new album and saying they're doing a show in atlanta on july 4th. last summer they were on tour with snoop dogg or something. yeah, i steered clear of that one. don't think i could handle the d-o-double-g. but i was thinking, would i even want to see 311 now? if i could go back in time and see them as they were in 1999, as my adult self now, that would be cool. i'm afraid if i go to their show in a few months i'll be disappointed. and i know what that feels like - i saw weezer a few years ago up at gwinnett arena, and they were not good. i was totally looking forward to the show because their blue album is definitely one of my favorites ever, and because i'd never seen them live. they blew. it was a total let-down.
