Sublime

A fu**in' great band back in the mid 90s. Their music is the perfect mix of reggae, folk, and punk rock and with very explicit social issues lyrics. And f**k they had skills man. I had its self title album when I was in high school. And it was fu**in’ great. Many people and my self consider the album as their best album and also one of the best rock albums ever produce in the 90s.

Well every success story has its dark side. And for the sublime’s it was sad. During the recording of the album, Bradley Nowell (guitarist and vocalist) was at the lowest point of his addiction to the heroin. And in May 25, 1996 Brad Nowell was found dead by his fellow band mate Bud Gaugh at 11:30 AM in a San Fransisco hotel room due to a heroin overdose. He died at 28 leaving behind a band, a wife, a son, and one of the best albums ever recorded.

Click here to listen to 'Santeria' from the self title album Sublime.

and these are the lyrics

i don't practice santeria i aint got no crystal ball. i had a million dollars but i'd, i'd spend it all. if i could find that heina and that sancho that she's found, well i'd pop a cap in sancho and i'd slap her down.

what i really wanna know, my baby, what i really want to say i can't define. well it's love, that i need, oh , but my soul will have to, wait till i get back and find heina of my own. daddy's gonna love one and all.

i feel the break, feel the break, feel the break and i got to live it up, oh , yea huh, well i swear that i. what i really wanna know, baby, what i really want to say i can't define. that love make it go, my soul will have to...

what i really wanna say, my baby, what i really wanna say is i've got mine. and i'll make it, yes, i'm comin' up.

tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him he best go run and hide. daddy's got a new .45. and i won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down sancho's throat. believe me when i say that i got somethin for his punk ass. what i really wanna know, my baby, what i really wanna say is there's just one, way back, and i'll make it, yea, but my soul will have to wait. yea, yea, yea

For some reason (memories of previous events...very cool events I would say!) my Sublime preference ended up by basically blasting my stereo by playing the song Caress me Down. Not exactly a masterpiece, but funky enough...

Take care
