Bush- Machine Head

What do I think of when I hear Bush's Machine Head? Hockey, Bowling Green hockey to be specific. Most of my college winters were spent at the Bowling Green Ice Arena watching the mighty Falcons. Of course, this was the start of the Falcon down falls for a few years and still to this day the hockey team is not what it was. So why does Bush Machine head remind me of BGSU hockey? They use to skate onto the ice to it. I still remember waiting outside the arena for an hour just to get close to the ice. The routine and chants we'd toss towards the visiting teams. It was a great time in my life and as I can still smell the ice. Oh Ice Arena, many an hour did I spend at you.

Third Eye Blind- Semi Charmed Life

This song has one of my favorite lyrics, "Those little red panties they pass the test." I don't know why I like that part but it makes me smile. Third Eye Blind was one of those groups in college that started out in heavy rotation at the college radio station I worked at then was yanked a few months later because it was "too mainstream." That describes a lot of my college music experience. I would like a band till they hit the mainstream and then turned my back because the sorority girls now liked it. Stupid, yes, but that was the way things went.

Third Eye Blind was a little bit of an exception, my friend Collins loved Steven Jenkins and would listen to a rotation of U2, Peter Gabriel, Barenaked Ladies and Third Eye Blind. She kind of kept me grounded a bit musically, then for some reason Third Eye Blind, Sugar Ray and Smashmouth were playing together at Ohio Northern, a small college in the middle of nowhere. The Collins/Hartman apartment went crazy and I was able to join them. It was strange to see these bands who were charting at a small college. The place was packed and there were more people outside trying to get in. Overall the concert was pretty good and it was strange to see the reactions of the women to Steven Jenkins. On one song he climbed a mountain of speakers and started dry humping them and the women went insane. I even think the stuffed polar bear in the gym made a noise.
