Sweet Sublime Ska
It looks like one of my favorite So Cal Ska bands is getting back together, and I am not referring to No Doubt. While No Doubt managed to ease their way into the hearts of pre-pubescent tweens and popular charts, Sublime remained a soundtrack for the older skaters and punks alike. One of my favorite bands in High School (even though I was more of an after the fact fan as I am only 21), I am eagerly anticipating their return. They performed with new lead singer Rome, and will likely begin to work on a new album. So for now I wait with eager anticipation and excitement over the possibility of another Sublime album.
Since I mentioned No Doubt, I might as well mention this awesome new concept they are utilizing in their upcoming tour. They will be giving away their discography as a digital download to all concertgoers who pay full price for their tickets. I am happy to see that musicians are beginning to embrace the new music marketplace, as they attempt make it advantageous rather than complaining about people downloading their music for free.
Here is a little something topical, Neon’s “Dark Recession Remix”.
Sublime - Santeria (neON! Dark Recession Remix).mp3
that is the single worst remix i have ever heard.
As far as I’m concerned there can never be another Sublime album since Brad’s death. I was cool with that since the Long Beach Dub All Stars were making great albums with all of Brad’s Heroes like H.R. from Bad Brains, and Barrington Levy and a few others. Bradley Nowell was an amazing songwriter and a great guitarist and as long as the songs are being penned, plucked, and sung by some one else, there can never be another Sublime album. In my opinion.
Sublime is not Sublime without Bradley
Holy god that remix is awful. That’s an abomination of a great song…
Good remix this better that that crap “A Night In Long Beach’ that Jaywood put out in 2004. That is the worst remix of a sublime song and some fool that is suppose to a sublime expert loves Jaywood’s mix and that crap was the worst sublime remix ever. In fact he loved so much that he lies how he got his 12″ of Jaywood’s 12″ in 1997…lol. Actually this Santeria mix would be good if you were house dj’ing and wanted to use it as seque. But other that is weak.
