Going Away to College for that sappy as shit, but all together wonderful chorus. Really, lots of their early stuff was surprisingly mature sounding-ish and still holds up pretty well.
I know they did this with some personal gain in mind but thank Christ. Now that I've said that, there's probably some long-term detrimental effects I don't know about.
It's just, when Don pops his coat off right when the drums kick in, that might be one of my favorite pieces of television. This piece was awesome, I just like talking about that. Y'all should start a video website, name it Moviegum, something like that.
Similarly, I used to work in a restaurant whose BOH's radio station played pretty exclusively music like this, Godsmack, rhcp (Lubbock, tx),and no other song got everyone to join in like when the chorus of 'What I Got' came on. It may have been equally as awesome, if it didnt also happen to play once a shift. And that about sums up my experience with both listening to Sublime and working in restaurants.
I know it's kind of uneven but Even if it Kills me is my favorite MCS album. The hooks, production, the lyrics; it honestly feels like a modern day Cars, which, considering Ric Ocasek produced a few songs on it, probably isn't a coincidence. And Last Night just hits me so hard.
Summer Music: Neon Indian, Wye Oak (Hot as Day kills), early Blink 182, and lots of Vampy Weeks and Jamie xx. Pretty basic, but goes well with sunburns.
I don't buy a ton of vinyl, because it's Goddamn expensive and I'm Goddamn broke, but I've always wanted it turn it into more a hobby, so reading this was a drag to say the least. But this write-up, man, this was good stuff.
It still blows my mind that the chick who sang Call Me Maybe (which I love) is fitting in so well in the Indie scene (which I also love), and making all sorts of great pop music.
Jesus Christ, are we sure this isn't a Modest Mouse lost b-side just rebranded. If Brand New is indeed leaving us soon, these new/reworked songs are a good way to go.
I wasn't really on top of my music game when this record came out (Other than hearing Wolf Like Me), so every now and then I get to come back to it and find out how much I like it. Wolf Like Me is still GOAT though
