My 3 Addictions is the third official CD release from antifolk music group Elastic No-No Band and their first studio album.

Contents

It is a concept album inspired partially by the 2-part structure of Willie Nelson's Phases and Stages album. My 3 Addictions has a 3-part structure, based on the three addictions listed in the title song: food, movies, and women.

An interactive album

On September 3, 2007, Elastic No-No Band's lead singer and songwriter, Justin Remer, started posting a blog called "My 3 Addictions: An interactive album". The first entry contained an mp3 download of the title song, in addition to various anecdotes about the making of the song and additional mp3 downloads of alternate versions of the song. Each successive entry included streaming audio of one of the album's songs, anecdotes related to that song, and mp3 downloads of alternate versions of that song. Now, the entire album can be heard, mostly as streaming audio, from the blog.

Electric Nebraska is the name commonly given to the E Street Band recordings of the tracks that would eventually comprise the Nebraska album and to some extent the Born in the U.S.A. album, as well as a few compilation albums. The original intent with the album was to record and release the tracks in a traditional rock arrangement with the E Street Band, however, due to the personal, somber, and folksy nature of the demos Springsteen had already recorded and felt the band could not recreate, decided to scrap the full band album and release the tracks as they were, without the rock arrangements. Besides the future Nebraska tracks, the sessions also spawned eight tracks that would eventually find their way to the follow-up album Born in the U.S.A. as well as a few released tracks not included on that album and a few that were left unreleased.
