311 Go Digital with second ETSD

March 11 is the official 311 Day, but fans will have something to celebrate four months early this time around.

On December 11, the Nebraska-bred rap and reggae rockers will release their second "Enlarged to Show Detail" home video while re-releasing the first edition on DVD, according to co-manager Adam Raspler.

"Enlarged to Show Detail 2," due on VHS and DVD, will include live performances of "Come Original," "Beautiful Disaster," "Freeze Time," "Feels So Good," "What Was I Thinking" and "Pyscho," a collaboration between singer/guitarist Nick Hexum, drummer Chad Sexton and basketball star/rapper Shaquille O'Neal (see "Shaq Goes 'Psycho' With Members Of Korn, 311").

The new video will also feature backstage footage of 311 on recent tours of the U.S. and Japan, a section on 311 Day 2000 and videos for "Transistor," "Prisoner," "Come Original," "I'll Be Here Awhile," "Flowing" and "You Wouldn't Believe." Documentaries on the making of the latter two videos will also be included.

As was the case with the first "Enlarged to Show Detail," released in 1996, an EP of unreleased material will accompany the second volume. The track list for the album includes Soundsystem outtake "Dancehall"; From Chaos outtakes "Bomb the Town," "Will the World," "We Do It Like This" and "Dreamland"; and an acoustic version of 311's latest single, "I'll Be Here Awhile," recorded and mixed by Sexton at the band's Hive Studio, according to Raspler. "Will the World" and "Dreamland" are instrumental interludes.

The new DVD of the first "Enlarged to Show Detail" will include all of the material on the VHS version (like live versions of favorites "Do You Right," "Feels So Good" and "F--- the Bullsh--"), plus the videos for "All Mixed Up" and "Don't Stay Home."

And if that's not enough reason for 311 fans to celebrate, the guys have also made seven exclusive remixes available for free download on their Web site. The tracks include two versions of "All Mixed Up" and "Prisoner," and one remix each of "Transistor," "Uncalm" and "You Wouldn't Believe."

311 recently wrapped a fall tour with Alien Ant Farm and will play radio station festivals in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Providence, Rhode Island, before breaking for the holidays.
