Oddly enough the first time I ever hear “The Freshman” was at an open mic night at the UIUC Courtyard Cafe back in the fall of 1996. Some guy was playing the song when I commented to Kris, “That is a really great song,” only to hear him reply, “It’s a cover.” That doesn’t change the fact that the song is good. That and I really hate Lenny Kravitz. Really.

MP3 | The Verve Pipe – The Freshman
MP3 | Joe Public – Live & Learn
MP3 | Lenny Kravitz – It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over
MP3 | Squirrel Nut Zippers – Hell
MP3 | Prodigy – Firestarter

the lamest kid in my high school’s uncle was Lenny Kravitz…in an attempt to be cool he had him come to graduation…epic fail

1. Joe Public was the second cd I ever bought way back in 7th grade, Nirvana’s Nevermind being the 1st.

2. I always enjoyed Mustard Plug’s cover of The Freshman
