3EBriefed    Breaking 3eb News!   

	12/23 - Just in time for Christmas, 3eb delivered a holiday  greeting to their fans.  Arion coordinated the entire thing  so 3eb fans would have an extra special Christmas!  Download it HERE!
	At the KIIS Jingle Ball in LA on 12/17, Stevie Wonder surprised 3eb by  joining them onstage to play harmonica during "Jumper."  Lucky  for YOU, I taped it and now you can listen to the mp3!
	STEPHAN LOVES THE PANTS!  I'm referring to the pants that the FANS bought him for his birthday through this site.  He told me that he really  thinks they are cool but that he had to get them hemmed and then  asked me if I could hem pants.  *ahem* nope sorry - I can't even  thread a needle.  Imagine MY surprise when he wore them during  the San Francisco show on 12/9!!  Wanna see pictures?   Here's before I mailed them and here's Stephan wearing them!  WOOHOO! He even talked about them during the show - listen yourself in mp3 format!

	Stephan says that he and Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammit, both Bay Area natives, are putting together an event to benefit the local Bay Area music  scene.  Money raised will go towards a rehearsal spot for local bands  who are suffering from the dot com shakes.  Don't worry, Stephan, once the  stock market takes a shit the dot com buildings will empty and the bohemia will once again rule the foggy streets of Frisco.
	Stephan thinks he's put on a few from his "love of pizza" so guess he has the same New Years resolution as the masses - lose a few and tone thyself.  Here's a great gym, SJ!
	Stephan's got some personal fans over yonder at Napster - seriously.   He told me that one of the "big guys" at Napster wants to "do lunch" and talk. Maybe when Napster moves to a monthly service fee model they'll cut us 3eb fans some slack and let the free downloads continue!  That, or they want  to shut down "this blondijen character" who's the most popular 3eb song download house on Napster.  tee hee  OOPS!  :o)
	Stephan and I were discussing some Christian influences in 3eb's songs, as I have just completed the Left Behind series.  After our discussion, he encouraged me to read the book Jesus' Son.
	Stephan wanted me to tell you all that the movie he's in,  now called "Rock Star," will be in theatres April 13.  3eb will be recording a song for the movie's soundtrack.  No word yet on the tune.
	Stephan has written and produced a track called  "Rock Show" with Run DMC for their new album Crown Royal that is due out on 3/6/01.  LISTEN NOW! (real audio) Stephan says it's being played in NYC and LA already.   He also told me that Arista hates the song but that he wanted to do something hip-hop more than the hardcore rap/rock that's so popular these days because he's personally sick of it.  You're not the only one, SJ!  :0)
	3eb has recorded Johnny Cash's song "Cry, Cry, Cry"  (real audio clip of original) for the Sun Records Tribute Album  that's due out in Spring 2001.
	3eb have been asked to play on an upcoming Paul McCartney  tribute album and, because he's such a big fan, Arion's picking out which tune the band will cover!
	Stephan says he's currently digging on music like Shaggy's  "It Wasn't Me," Bay Area band Sleepytime Gorilla Museum  (consisting of members from former bands Idiot Flesh and  Charming Hostess) and Jah Rule.
	Contrary to earlier reports, 3eb is NOT releasing any more songs from "Blue."  :(
