Issue #42- Flashback Friday- Better Than Ezra

Yeah yeah. Just like when I premiered their new single "Absolutely Still" to kick off the blog, I know I might get some flak for putting my favorite band on my blog. Meh. Sue me.

I was lucky enough to see these guys in concert this past week, first at an acoustic session for Philly radio station Radio 104.5, then later that night in their plugged-in goodness at Philly's Trocadero Theater. I'm not the biggest fan of their latest album at all (It's not ALL bad... there are good songs on there, but it's probably my least favorite Ezra album released.) Anywho.

I figured for today's Flashback Friday, I'd go through their music video collection (what I can find online at least) and let you go "Oh Yeah! I remember that song! Better Than Ezra did it? Cool!" It's a Better Than Ezra OVERLOAD today on the Best Music blog. Sit back, and enjoy.

From 1995's "Deluxe", their debut single, "Good."




Also from 1995's "Deluxe," the follow-up single "In the Blood"




The third single from 1995's "Deluxe," it's "Rosealia."




From their 1996 sophomore album "Friction, Baby" here's "King of New Orleans"

Their more remembered hit from 1996's "Friction, Baby" it's "Desperately Wanting"




Sadly, the only music video BTE got to do for their 1998 album "How Does Your Garden Grow" was for this song, "Like It Like That." Recorded March 19th, 1999 in NYC and March 20th, 1999 in Philly (at the show I was at!!)




The leadoff single from 2005's "Before The Robots," it's "A Lifetime"




Definitely one of their more, uh... interesting videos, it's 2005's "Juicy."

Here's the official video for their latest single, from 2009's "Paper Empire," it's "Absolutely Still"



There WAS a (really bad) video for 2001's "Extra Ordinary" off their album "Closer" but it's nowhere to be found online. They also released the singles "Long Lost," and "Normal Town" from "Friction, Baby", "One More Murder," and "At the Stars" from "How Does Your Garden Grow?", "Misunderstood" from "Closer" and "Our Last Night" from "Before The Robots" without having a music video.

Until Monday, when hopefully, I'll have my full hearing back. Peace!
