I should listen to the second album, given where I live right now.

"it's not my fault you gotta get love sick during the quiet storm"

This line pops up in my head all the time, and I wish more people got the reference so that I could, well, refer to it more often.

I should spring the 1 cent that the third album is going for on amazon, shouldn't I?

Now Cody Chestnutt has disappeared too. What's with these guys, too much weed?

Michael Ivey went Christian, I know that.

There's one ok/good song on the third album, and I can't remember what it's called. Proceed accordingly.

Here's my 1996 feature interview piece on Basehead at the time of the Faith album

the intro and outro on plays with toys are some of the funniest songs i've ever heard.

Basehead/fIREHOSE/Beastie Boys show at the tiny Troc in Philly in ... '92? still one of my all-time faves

Are there any other bands that walked a similar dynamic like this without being a bit cheesy?

nine years pass...

Two Basehead live recordings popped up today on D1m3ad0z3n! Maybe the last band I would ever expect to see on there, but nevertheless, here we are - early/late shows from a date at Cambridge MA circa '93, desk recordings too.
