OK, is this the worst piece of music writing ever?

RIP Lou Dog

i'm not white whiney, i'm hispanic

"white people"

how about instead we turn this thread into a discussion of Invisible Man, how does that suit you?

oops, sorry marcos!

whiney doesn't see color, just tumblr wites

WON'T SOMEBODY GET ME OFF OF THIS REEF

Like doing Grateful Dead songs over the "Funky Drummer break," scratching a Minutemen album, doing a folk song about KRS-One, singing Bob Marley lyrics over a Just-Ice song — it all spoke to the post-Beasties smash-up culture they were trying to promote and attempt and see through the lens of smoked out cali loving surfer bros/dalmation enthusiasts

this makes 40oz sound really cool fwiw

just let that imaginary version live, don't listen to it

i think the mash-up aesthetic, in the internet era, is kind of played and combining/curating disparate sounds in itself doesn't sound refreshing in 2014. that might be why i didn't notice all the stuff whine mentioend and just remember 40oz as this ska-rap album that has a song about date rape

i dunno, it was a few years past faith no more and a bunch of shit that was already doing that general thing of combining the threads of so-cal stoner/skater/punk/whatever culture

Can we get back to where we're all white here. Signed, One of Us White Guys That Are White.

Right, but Sublime took it the extra step and used actual source material like a hip-hop DJ would.

That awkward moment when you jam to a date rape song

lets definitely turn this into a thread where white people with comfortable upbringings talk about what other white people with comfortable upbringings were into in the Nineties, considering they're all beginning to run the world now and have no self-awareness about it

dying

maybe the white manager with no self-awareness is...you

lot of whites moaning in here tonight

v telling that Lou Dog is black and white, makes you think

someday i'm going to bounce onto a thread bemoaning how it's nothing but white "ironic" fans of limp bizkit who've dabbled in rockcrit and now waste time in the office debating with other pedants about nerd trivia

oh wait no i'm not

good to know

i sincerely hope you do

ayyy lmao

Can I nominate this Jed Perl piece on the arts? This seems not even wrong.
http://www.newrepublic.com/article/118958/liberals-are-killing-art-insisting-its-always-political

he took so long to get to an example of one of these art-denying liberals that i was shocked to see it was alex ross discussing classical music and not someone shitting on macklemore

apparently liberals err on the side of acknowledging toxic politics circling art...does he think conservatives get the "appreciating beauty vs reason" scale right or do they err on the side of ignoring toxic politics, with him as goldilocks?

my sublime story: as a white southern dude of a certain age, I never heard sublime in the 90's except for the megahits and they were brief background blips... i seem to remember thinking "what I got" was some kind of rip-off of beck's "where it's at" of all things. i don't think this so-cal stuff got much exposure in tennessee. luckily, cause my dad was a music nerd and a stoner, i WAS raised on a steady diet of marley, desmond dekker and prince buster, toots, jimmy cliff, hugh mundell, dillinger, ken boothe and so on tho'.
i was working pr for (ahem) a cover group this past year and finally got around to listening to the album a time or two for the first time and it's my considered opinion that it is pretty horrible.
that's all.

man I was wondering how long this was going to go on before Whiney went all "uggh white people"

i bet

. Of course there's no shortage of awkardness ("DATE RAPE STYLEE") but I can get behind the message conceptually, plus they had good taste

this is... interesting, but if FNM and sublime are the best examples of this culture then you all deserved worse than you got

sonny bono and bob dornan win elections and your music is just comically horrible, maybe get your shit together "socal"

music from socal to this day is generally not really good imo, the local music scene in l.a. is in partic boring.

of course i listened to that sublime s/t a TON in college and it was everywhere for awhile. but not in the way nirvana was, at least where i was at. they feel like the new social distortion in terms of nostalgia tripping, albeit with a slightly different listening audience. only slightly, though, there's a lot of overlap.

HIP-HOP SOUND COLLAGE PIONEERS SUBLIME

everything sounds stupid if you put it in all caps

The first time I ever encountered the whole "Bradley Nowell is a genius struck down in his prime" was when I stopped by a Best Buy early in the morning in 2006 and was waiting in line with like 10 dudes buying the three-disc(!) Sublime rarities box set, all of them speaking in reverent tones about how much they missed him.

xp

hip-hop sound collage pioneers sublime

does that sound better

I'm thinking of recording 30 tracks of myself farting and getting it onto Spotify under the name Sublime!

4) Robbin' the Hood

always been sorta curious about robbin the hood bc my idea of it matches whiney's description of 40 oz. upthread

but having grown up near socal i don't really need to go out of my way to listen to sublime

lol omar

haha

also robbin the hood is shit, thrown-together garbage

also robbin the hood is shit, thrown-together garbage

good to know!

how did I have no clue that brad is a west coaster

faith no more are so much better/have so little in common with sublime it is barely conceivable

they are better but i think in the big picture there's a certain style of socal music, i would put chili peppers in there as well, like dudes who liked early rap and punk and minutemen and dub records and some metal and smoked shitloads of weed...

dekker and prince buster, toots, jimmy cliff, hugh mundell, dillinger, ken boothe and so on tho'.

When I was first listening to Sublime heavily, my manager from the ice cream shop I worked at (a black man maybe in his mid to late 20s) invited me and some other coworkers over to his apartment to smoke pot. On the way over, we were listening to some kind of alternative that he didn't like, so I asked him what he did like and he says "I'm into reggae." My coworkers and I got really excited. "You've gotta hear it." I was hoping for something better than "what the hell is this crap?"
