My little brother is about to move across the country and is selling all his records and CDs. We’re listening to some old favorites as they make their way into the to-sell stack, and today has been all about Third Eye Blind. Listening to these jams from back in the day is kiiiind of amazing. […]

Dancing Pig
I’m not usually a sucker for nostalgia. I kind of like living in a time that has both penicillin and the internet. However, I wouldn’t mind going to a theater and having this sort of thing play. The best part is about 2:05 onward. You will never be the same again.
