1. I love the Sneaker Pimps.
I don't think they've released anything in years, though.

2. Kelli Dayton was super-cute
She has that gnarly/sexy teeth thing that Jewel and Julia Stiles got going.

I believe she's recording solo under a different name now.

And I preferred "Post-Modern Sleaze", myself.

3. They were cool when they had Kelli Dayton singing...
...but look what they say about it:

The musical genre they had helped to introduce had become wallpaper, the soundtrack to every pizza café and cappucino bar in the world. Sneaker Pimps had fallen into a genre trap and only drastic action could help them escape. Over the course of a year the band put together "SPLINTER", an album that saw the four boys working together, sharing the tasks of programming and production with the door to the outside world firmly shut. It was music as therapy. Chris would sing the demos and then the exhaustive process of collage and deconstruction would begin. It soon became clear that Chris’ voice was the right voice for Sneaker Pimps and to the consternation of record companies and the music press, Kelli was asked to leave.

Now where are they? Huh?

Good news: Kelli Dayton turned up on a Bryan Ferry album.

6. That song reminds me of "can't hardly wait"
And Jennifer Love Hewitt in that baby blue tank top.
