There is NO BARCODE anywhere to be found on the cassette!...Which means that they didn't sell them in stores...

Huh - I just found one of these in a box in the basement and was wondering whether to throw it out or just give it to goodwill. Guess I better try to ride the tide of this ebay insanity.

I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have "Trenchtown Rock" on it though, so don't start bombing my webmail, okay guys?

:-o @ that winning bid!

original bgm, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:21 (fourteen years ago) link

does it have the ***infamous "EXTENDED THANX"!!!***?

original bgm, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:22 (fourteen years ago) link

My question is, is there a barcode on the tape?

Neil S, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:24 (fourteen years ago) link

xp: Guess I'll have to sit down and listen to the motherfucker and time it. Getting rich off old Sublime cassettes is no easy task, let me tell you.

Anybody got a tape player?

kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:25 (fourteen years ago) link

man, what a repulsive cover:

hahaha

.....*** This cassette also has the INFAMOUS "Misprint Address" (As it is known by collectors.) of "996 Redondo" , Not sublime's correct address of "966 Redondo" !!!.... Can anyone say: "Bong Load !!??...They forgot THEIR OWN ADDRESS!!!....Purely Sublime~~!!

this guy basically rules, i've decided.

plus, he made $300 off a freakin' sublime tape, so he's doing something right.

sometimes i sub for a friend's band that plays mostly covers for a college crowd. most of it is cool (blackstreet, phil collins, jay-z) but i kind of hate him for making me learn three sublime songs after all these years (never had a cd btw). at least the beats are pretty fun to play.

Anytime I go to a karaoke bar and see "What I Got" appear on the television screen, I know I don't like the guy holding the microphone.

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

damn I also owned that snot album once upon a time

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Thursday, 25 March 2010 23:52 (fourteen years ago) link

I think I had all the Sublime albums 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"

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.

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

jesus christ (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Saturday, 28 April 2012 16:39 (twelve years ago) link

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

jesus christ (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Saturday, 28 April 2012 17:02 (twelve years ago) link

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'

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

dayo, Saturday, 28 April 2012 17:11 (twelve years ago) link

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

dayo, Saturday, 28 April 2012 17:13 (twelve years ago) link

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.

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

original bgm, Saturday, 28 April 2012 19:21 (twelve years ago) link

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

original bgm, Saturday, 28 April 2012 19:21 (twelve years ago) link

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

Jeff, Saturday, 28 April 2012 19:22 (twelve years ago) link

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.

i still think the band hepcat is pretty good

los blue jeans, Saturday, 28 April 2012 20:30 (twelve years ago) link

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?

alex in mainhattan, Saturday, 28 April 2012 21:52 (twelve years ago) link

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.

Bulge Pimp (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Saturday, 28 April 2012 21:53 (twelve years ago) link

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.

frogsclovetofu (beachville), Saturday, 28 April 2012 22:24 (twelve years ago) link

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.
