lmao yes

How many collegiate a cappella groups do you figure had Rusted Root in their repertoire, I'm gonna say 'lots'

This video is embarrassing and cringey in all sorts of ways, perhaps even surpassing the original. Shame he doesn't dig into those neologisms with quite the same panache.

I had never watched the video for this atrocity until now, and jesus h. christ, you think a song embodies settler colonialism and then you watch the video and hoooooooooooollllyyy shit the video IS settler colonialism

i remember when this and "Return to Innocence" were on the radio at the same time, what a cursed pairing.

i remember having to play both of these songs on the radio -- speaking of cursed!!

god, i'm so glad most of my playlists are lost to the sans of time.

i vaguely recall seeing a dude doing a 'send me on my way' puppet show in the embarcadero the last time i was in san francisco

Wow, things really have gotten bad there, haven't they?

I was just trying to type out the exclamation "eh", and was excited to see that my phone wanted to autocorrect it to "ehbubadeesaybubadeeyon".

Android's got my back!

əkoostik hookah released an album called 'dubbabuddah' in 1994, strengthing my increasing suspicion that jam band culture is underpinned by a pontypool-style virus which erodes the language centres of the brains of those affected

'dubbahbuddah' features an tune called - wait for it - "Harmonic Convergence", which is definitely in the upper echelon of mid-'90s Widespread Panic-adjacent ephemera. Imagine if your college classmate - the one equally adept with making hemp necklaces as they are with the way-too-nice guitar courtesy of their Big-Pharma executive dad - took the chord progression of the intro of Bowie's "Panic in Detroit" and made that into an entire song, with (of course) lots of harmonics.

I used to think it would be even better if they pushed the tempo a few BPM, ditched the adult-contempo piano for some thrashing solos on the acoustic - oh, sorry, əkoostik - guitar, added more percussion tracks, then tied it together with better backup vocals. However, there's no need for Hookah to do this, because I'm basically describing the Rusted Root song "Ecstasy".

Rusted Root - solving our least-salient problems since 1994.

Some people eventually sober up and realize that the ideas they had while under the influence of mind-altering substances weren't nearly as profound as they seemed at the time. Others keep the party going indefinitely and utilize their major label record contracts as a means of foisting those ill-informed thoughts and expressions upon the public-at-large. Rusted Root et al are basically the margins of a high school stoner's geometry notebook made flesh.

Looking back, I have no idea how I stuck with Phish through so much "Llama Taboot" and yet somehow "Gotta Jibboo" was enough to bring the whole thing screeching to a halt for me.

valuable new evidence, thank u for ur service

whoops. I had mentioned those upthread already.

When Pitchfork first informed us about Vampire Weekend in 2008, I remember someone on these here internets (Stylus? ILX? I don't remember) responding to "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" with the retort of "I liked these guys back when they called themselves 'Rusted Root'"

əkoostik hookah's repetoire contains 15 songs with 'train' in the title alone.

I thought at first that you meant they had fifteen different songs simply entitled 'Train' and I also thought 'yes, that seems about right.'

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me

Now I've been irie lately
Thinking about the kind bud to come
And I believe it could be
Something crunchy has begun
Oh, I've been vaping lately
Dreaming about the world inside my bong
And I believe it could be
Time to write a bong-centric song

'Cause I'm on the edge of a bong rip
There ride the 'koost train
Oh, 'koost train take this country
Make it əkoostik again

found video evidence of this on my phone and uploaded it here for y'all to "enjoy": https://imgur.com/a/q4UeFRa

is that really a puppet show? Did the gator and man work out their differences before breaking into song?

Aaaaaaand that's my bucket list, completed.

trying not to think about what it must've smelled like in that tent

Was this written by AI?

Jerry Harrison produced a Rusted Root album

Ugh. That's like learning that Roy Orbison had a Prince Albert or something.

Although it does my heart good anytime this thread is bumped.

...

If you check Jerry Harrison's wikipedia, you'll learn that Roy Orbison had maybe 18 prince alberts

Oh sick

Jerry's production discography is very weird.
