Maroon 5 is a band perhaps best known for its sex appeal and steamy videos.
When the neo-soul pop band made it big with their first album, Songs About Jane, they stirred up controversy with a video in which frontman Adam Levine appeared to be having sex with his then-girlfriend. Then there was another video that featured Levine pining after a highly sexualized Kelly Preston.
The controversies, combined with the band’s radio-friendly pop tunes, took the debut album to the top of the charts. But it took more than two years for that album to climb the charts and while the band’s sophomore release had a brief stint at the No. 1 spot on Billboard, it’s now hovering around the 50th spot.
It Won’t be Soon Before Long was released in May and although it’s not the blockbuster the band might have hoped for, Levine was impressively cool and relaxed about its reception when he spoke to The Vancouver Sun from a tour stop in Orlando.
Our first album, we won’t ever

BERLIN (Reuters) - A 54-year-old woman in Germany shocked a would-be thief into submission when she ran screaming and trapped the man in her car after seeing him rummaging around the dashboard in search of plunder, police said on Sunday.
The woman had just unloaded a refrigerator from her car when she saw a man had opened the door and was kneeling on the back seat, a spokeswoman for police in the western city of Bonn said.
“It’s not like she was some kind of Arnold Schwarzenegger,” the spokeswoman said. “She ran up screaming, pushed the man in and held him there. He was so impressed he didn’t even try to escape. He just swapped her back seat for one of ours.”
: RinaHow many of you are backseat drivers? Well, I am, but not in the sense of driving a motor vehicle. I am a backseat Excel user. Yuuup. This is the nerd speaking, so please be gentle. I just got out of a meeting in which one of the other engineers had up an Excel spreadsheet on the projector screen. Great guy, but slow with the cell formatting and entering data. I started to feel it inside me. You'd know the feeling if you are a backseat anything like I am. You start watching their every move, hoping that they'll use the proper shortcuts. Then as time continues, you realize that they aren't going to be moving any faster than at this... very... steady... s... l... o... w... pace. A burning sensation starts in your stomach, but you refrain from jumping at the person in the driver's seat--in my case, in the office chair across from me. You kindly offer a tip, but it takes them even longer to find it or realize what it is you are saying.Now every move that they make is exaggerated
