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

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― Criss Angel Raw: The Mindfreak Unplugged (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 2 August 2019 14:15 (three weeks ago)

'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".

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.― how's life, Friday, November 1, 2013 2:06 PM (five years ago) bookmarkflaglink

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'"

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