Following up to our report of Alana Davis' covering "I Want You," here is a link to the full length song in streaming audio. I Want You

Let me be the first to say that this song is so amazing. It is definitely one of my fave 3eb songs and Alana has done it justice! Her voice really draws me nearer to the song because I can imagine it as if I'm singing it myself. The first time I listened to this cover I nearly cried - she sings THAT well.
I very much recommend you listen to this song and go buy the album when it comes out!

Stephan dropped a line to SJ.com to let us know what's going on in his world. So here ya go!

SJ's got a new pad in San Francisco. Each morning when he wakes up and sees the Golden Gate Bridge. Lucky.
No more TV in the bedroom - better for the book club reading!
Speaking of books, SJ can't keep his hands off of them. He's the only guy we know who, 14 years after graduating college, still does his homework. Check out Stephan's Book Club selection of the month direct From the man himself.
Stephan's working on a breast cancer fundraiser for October called "Breathe." It will be in LA. He's lined up Def Tones, Billy Corgan, Crazy Towne and, of COURSE, 3eb. More details to come as we get them.
Stephan types in all caps.

I'm back from the "Redneck Riviera" of Panama City Beach, Florida. Hope all y'all had a great time in Cleveland and Charlotte - for those who went.

3eb will not be on the American Pie 2 soundtrack, as the track listing was released last week and 3eb was not listed. Darnit.
