Not outside of LA, I've heard that one. Good song.
Desperately Wanting definitely got the most airtime on the alternative stations in alabama. I like alot of their stuff though. Good, in the blood, lifetime, extra ordinary, southern thing, etc. great band imo.

I have to admit they are one of my favorite bands from the 90's. I mentioned them on the OT a few times from 2007 to 2009 or so... Seems like alot of LA people are burnt out on them. I can understand that I guess. But they really did have great music.

When I was at LSU in 1988 I went to the Chimes to see a band called The Fleshtones (their best record was a great remake of "Ride Your Pony").
The opening act was some band I'd never heard of called... Better Than Ezra. I thought they were great! REM-style power pop with a strong beat. I specifically recall liking a song called "Ezra Pound". After the show I kept telling people about them and wondering why they didn't have a record deal. A friend told me, "There are a bunch of REM imitators out there. Throw a stick in Athens and you hit a hundred of them."
Soon after I left La. and forgot about them. Cut to 1995. I'm watching Letterman when I hear, "And musical guest: Better than Ezra!". I nearly fell out of my chair. They'd changed their sound a bit -- classic REM had gone out of fashion - but at least they'd gotten that deal.

Lifetime, Breathless, Desperately Wanting, Rewind, Porcelian are my top 5 Ezra songs.
"Collide" performed by Howie Day is my favorite Kevin Griffin tune.
