Acoustic Monday - but that's *so* 2005

It's been a while since i've done an acoustic post, and i fancied doing something a lil different, so, yknow, why not? Heh.


# Today (acoustic) - Smashing Pumpkins

I must confess, i don't listen to this band anywhere near enough. I remember seeing them ages ago on the Simpsons and never having a clue who they were! But yea, that was when i was young and musically uninfluenced. I wasn't like i am now all my life, heh. Just makes it all the sweeter now =) But yea, this is still my favourite Smashing P's song, closely followed by Zero. I really must actually buy an album of theirs and sit down and listen to it properly :( Them and a hundred other bands. Bah.




# I Took a Beating (acoustic) - I Am the Avalanche

Is it wrong one of the deciding factors in buying I Am the Avalanche's album was the band were on the Drive Thru label? Heh. Oh well! Tis a rockin label :P What i now would muchly like, is this split ep which the above track is featured on. In fact doing this post just inspired me to order it :P This acoustic version isn't much different from the 'standard' version of the song but for the slightly softer sound i muchly prefer it.


# Semi-Charmed Life (acoustic) - Third Eye Blind

Yes, OK, i got into this band through American Pie. I've come to terms with that, and i hope you can too! It was actually their song Jumper that really made me fall in love with them, and they really are a nice middle of the road staple band. And yea, that's good enough for me, music's not all about everyone sounding as different as possible, a lead's unique voice is enough a change most the time, heh. As with the last song, the acoustic version isn't much really different to the original, but its just nice n soft. Makes a good little change from always listening to the same song again and again!
