Did you buy a Sublime album in the '90s?

I remember performing Date Rape at karaoke night and getting dagger eyes from everybody in the audience.

Sublime had some good songs but the ones they were most famous for were just real fucking boring. if I'd give them a genre it'd be "brocore"

their drummer was probably the absolute worst drummer to play on any hit song in the 90s.

really, why? i've only heard the singles but the beat to santeria doesn't suck.

can't believe i'm arguing about the drummer of sublime in 2010.

i did

but a lot of strange shit went down in the 90s

Yeah not sure if I bought any of these or just made a CDR copy from my friends. I think these were the first pieces of music I ever pirated.

my first night in college i spent chilling in my dorm room with a bunch of kids listening to face to face, pennywise, and the then-new self-titled sublime album

i feel better having made this admission

My thoughts are often haunted at by remembering the girl in my 12th grade history class who did a pretty good video project on famed 1920's aviator Charles Lindbergh, which was all Ken Burns-style black and white footage and sepia tone photos until the end credits where it was vintage footage of airplanes while the music was inexplicably IN SCHOOL DEY NAVER TAUGHT BOUT HAMBURGAH OR STEAK, ELIJAH MUHAMMAD OR THA WELFARE STATE, AND I KNOW BECUZZA KRS-ONE

lol whiney

one of my senior year hs art projects was a "documentary" on hk action cinema that mostly featured pause-button edits of the goriest two-handed-gunplay sequences set to black flag and mdc songs

i feel like i have a pulitzer-worthy thinkpiece in me about what the hell we were all thinking re. 90s ska

kids 10 years from now are gonna be saying the same thing about 00's emo

I got a sublime cd from one of those 10 CDs for 10 cent mail-in 'deals'

TS: 90s ska vs. 90s swing

or maybe two sides of the same shitty coin?

oh man

stories of first days in college are so good

mine was spent lisetning to a bear v. shark album on my computer w/ my roommate

I mean, I have a couple of pennywise and face to face albums on CD. still do.

I bought the self-titled and heard "40 oz..." about a thousand times through friends. Don't even think I sold it, just tossed it away at some point. 12 years old is a strange time in a boy's life.

one of my senior year hs art projects was a "documentary" on hk action cinema that mostly featured pause-button edits of the goriest two-handed-gunplay sequences set to black flag and mdc songs

hah, I did almost the same thing but it was for my senior year english class and there weren't any black flag or mdc songs

also did another 'documentary' that mostly featured gory sequences from dead alive and godzilla smashing buildings

Yes, I did. I still have it. I think.

I did a music video for "Needle and the Damage Done" to a montage of drug use and overdose scenes from various movies. It started with pot and beer scenes from Dazed and Confused and then escalated uncomfortably. I tagged on the long shot of Jim Morrison's grave from the end of The Doors at the end.

guilt for not listening to gay disco in the early nineties

my first days in college were spent listening to a hellcat records comp

I listened to that and I may have also listened to Give em the boot II

i still think the band hepcat is pretty good

i bought so many sublime albums in the 90s. year after year, boire, 41, don't get weird on me babe, the first tindersticks, cure for pain, the blue moods of spain, dirty, just to name a few. there was a band with that name? did i miss something?

Of course I did.

I still sing "dooooooown here at the pawwn SHOP" every time I see one. I still say "GI-Joe Kung-Fu" grip too.

no Sublime, but I did own a 311 album.

Still partial to this opening salvo. I was so disappointed to pick up the CD version and find that "Get Out" had been completely removed.

I bet I could make a decent Sublime playlist, and I'm kinda jonesing for one with this thread being bumped, but I didn't save any of their CDs.

I had some 311 too xp, must say that 311 has aged MUCH worse than Sublime. Cant even go nostalgia trippin' off that shit any more.

totally agreed, though even at the time I kind of knew that 311 sucked.

lol @ the Minutemen break in that cut song

I saw DMC wearing a Sublime shirt once

never bought an album but always liked "What I Got" (the version in the video, not the acoustic strummin' singalong version, fuck that one)

I dug the sublime & gwen stefani collabs

Wow, haven't heard "Ruca" in forever and I still remember lot of the words.

there was great stuff on Robbin the Hood that wasn't the schizophrenic guy rambling or the half-assed dub versions.

Yeah "S.T.P." introduced me to Smokey Robinson.

Heh, me too.

Lol I just remembered whenever the local Sublime cover band played STP all the kids would yell "I'm even learning how to COOK SPEED" RHPS style.

that was what he sang live, iirc.

RHPS?

rocky horror?

sure. i got the third album from the free magazine record club (3rd or 4th time joining) because i don't know why but probably "what i got". didn't like it much and sold it w/in a couple weeks.

Yeah rocky horror. Tho growing up in Gwinnett County no doubt some of those kids had actually learned to cooked meth.

somebody in my facebook feed just unironically posted a youtube to April 29 1992

sorry, i just find it moving.

Yes and I have since sold that shit. But I still like What I Got

i still think the band hepcat is pretty good
