I was curious earlier what a minutemen-like sublime song sounded like but

"hey up to jimi hendrix, to beer, the sonic lizard, the rape man. how about bob marley, bob dobbs, and bob forrest. to all those punker sluts. to eek-a-mouse. tom for lettin' us practice and crashin'. chilli part all night. peni, fugazi, rhino '59, greek1, the last puriah's, and naomis' hair. how about the butthole surfers, and frank zappa. aunt bea, big drill car, bert suzanka, and all the ziggens' around the world."

now I am no longer curious.
maybe still curious about which sugar ray song sounds like wire.

"Peps" was the "AnCo" of its time

hey up to jimi hendrix, to beer, the sonic lizard, the rape man.

someone listen to this song and write what he really says here.

Mother's Milk has "Magic Johnson" on it, which I thought was irredeemably stupid even for them (as opposed to endearingly stupid, like "Get Up And Jump" or "Catholic School Girls Rule").

l.a. lakers fast break makers kings of the court shake n' bake all takers!

lol, i've never heard that song, but now i kind of want to, as a die-hard Magic-era Lakers fan. Looks like it sums up the singular excitement of a fast break very nicely!

"knock me down" is lovely

― Domm P))) (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, May 4, 2009 2:08 PM

yeah mother's milk was weird but knock me down is fire

the deal with magic johnson was you saw that on the tracklist of this new red hots record and you were all like omg this is going to be just the most awesome thing since my dingaling and then haha no see it really is about magic johnson because we are from la lol

It has its place now, but at the time I was incredibly po-faced about what I wanted from my RHCP songs (lol 16-year-olds).

too much peps talk on this 'blime thread, bros.

yes i did just post that because i wanted to make the quasi-pun "peps talk".

lets talk about what other bands had pet mascots

some pasta dude (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 4 May 2009 21:23 (fourteen years ago) link

Sugar Ray and that fucking bulldog in the mid 90s

there is no poll option for "inherited a CD from a housemate who left it in my CD player once & proceeded to occasionally play the kinda dub track about looting musical equipment during the LA riots & yeah, I probably still have it tucked away in a CD book somewhere."

what a thread

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 2 June 2009 01:33 (fourteen years ago) link

Just remembered an interview with the surviving members in While You Were Sleeping mag. One of them referred to their interviewers - a pair of petite blondes - as "spinners".

kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 2 June 2009 02:00 (fourteen years ago) link

One of the few bands I have any real hatred for, surely related to both the sheer number of people I knew who thought that dude was some sort of genius and a particular ex-girlfriend's love of the band. Not the best reasons I know but what can you do...

ColinO, Tuesday, 2 June 2009 02:12 (fourteen years ago) link

I got a free one and I still have it.

Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 2 June 2009 05:58 (fourteen years ago) link

I got a CD single cause it had a remix feat. Pharcyde. Still have it.

Had I been born a few years later, would my 1995 Sublime fandom been 1999 ICP fandom? I think yes.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 3 June 2009 13:40 (fourteen years ago) link

78 liars.

languid samuel l. jackson (jim), Wednesday, 3 June 2009 13:41 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah, these results are baffling to me. Everyone I knew had a Sublime album, even the dorkz.

The fish'n'chips contingent must be strong in this one.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 3 June 2009 13:44 (fourteen years ago) link

High five to the four other people who have since sold that shit

Whats up Y'ALL? I'm "BACK IN BLACK"...

and I'm KICKIN' it into HIGH GEAR right here!!!!
Let's get back to the business of:
..."ALL SUBLIME ALL THE TIME".....
A fool went ahead and dug into the vaults to bring you one of THE most sought after "sublime" collectables around!
IT'S THE LONG OOP, "CASSETTE" RELEASE FROM THE BAND THAT THEY CALL
"sublime"
KNOWN AS THE:
.....!!!! BLACK !!!!.....

FIRST PRESS

"40 oz. to Freedom"

cassette!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

..... SOOOOO RARE !! .....

_____________________________________________________________

Having said that,....Let's have a look at this Bad Boy!!,...Time's a wastin'!!.....
P.S. Click on ANY of my pictures to get the SUPERSIZED view...

***By the way,....There is no "barcode" to be found on this cassette; as they were never sold in stores. These are the "Trunk of their cars" cassettes !! Sublime gave these out at shows,.. to Bros, Music Shops, Sold them at gigs or where ever they could, etc. !! ***
***THIS CASSETTE RELEASE WAS MADE PRIOR TO THE "CD" PRESSING OF "40 oz. to Freedom" & I HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS A LIMITED PRESSING OF 250 MADE!!!!!!!!***
Check this sucka out.....SICK, TO SAY THE VERY LEAST!!!
Check this sh*t out!!!....

**I don't think that I really need to go on about how cool (Or RARE!!) this cassette is,..just the fact that it's sublime and from 1992', speaks for itself, however I will tell you this......

**These cassettes were mostly handed out at shows with the exception of some being given to friends, family, etc.,...and I don't know about you,...but if you were at a sublime show back then, you know what I mean when I tell you that not a lot of these "survived"!
Take a look for yourself at the CLOSE-UPS of this cassette!

....Absolutely CRAZY!!, huh?..
A little story for Ya'll....

*** This little gem was made by the guys right around the time that they also released the "40 oz." CD, but the killer thing that is on this cassette, THAT WAS/IS NOT ON ANY PRESSING OF THE 40 oz. CD,....is the ***infamous "EXTENDED THANX"!!!***

(As you know, this is at the end of the cassette, BUT, I'm not talking about the "Thanx Dub" from "Second Hand Smoke".)

***The "EXTENDED THANX" are WAY longer & highly sought after by any sublime collector!!!
.....*** 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~~!!
...And, Finally,...**This cassette contains the Original version of "Get Out", as well as "Rawhide" after "Date Rape"!!

...................................................................

**Another cool thing here (and RARE),.... There is NO BARCODE anywhere to be found on the cassette!...Which means that they didn't sell them in stores... These are the cassettes that were sold by the guys at shows & given away to friends, etc.!! The "Second" pressing of this cassette has a barcode right on the front of the J-Card. "Skunk Records" is all you see here....

Also,... With the previous cassette releases from sublime..."c003" & "Jah Won't Pay The Bills", the members of "sublime" were listed as: Brad, Bud, & Eric.
The names on the Original "40 oz." cassette, however, are not Brad, Bud, and Eric,...rather it has the guys listed as: Texas, Cricket, The Yellow Lover (on Drums); as Bud was in rehab & Kelly Vargas & Marshall contributed most of the drumming on the album.
**This cassette is a MUST for any true hardcore fan of sublime, and if you are just starting,...sh*t,....you couldn't start your collection with a better piece of history!!!
This cassette is in absolutely PERFECT shape; & IT'S 18 YEARS OLD!!!
NOW, for the TRACK LIST (As if you don't know it!!)....
Side1:
# Waiting For My Ruca
# GET OUT!
# 40oz. To Freedom
# Smoke Two Joints

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?

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

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:

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.

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