NEW SUBLIME BOOTLEG AVAILABLE NOW!
See Details Below!
The purpose of this Myspace page is to give fans an opportunity to learn more about the music that influenced Brad Nowell of Sublime. We will be uploading Sublime tracks mixed with the songs that Brad either covered, sampled, or took lines from. Some of the Sublime songs are present on the official albums, and some are only available through unofficial releases.
Here is the mission statement written by Matt Maguire , the creator of the Rewind Selector compilation.
Rewind Selector Mission Statement:
"Rewind Selector is an album that is loved or hated. Some people cry foul over the liberties that Sublime took in their sampling and mixing of sounds. I am not alone when I say that I love it. The “rub-a-dub blender†that is Sublime shows that they were a sound creating machine, extremely prolific, and diverse in musical taste. They certainly had their own sound and were able to incorporate music that would otherwise be dichotomous (Minor Threat - George Gershwin).
"The type of question I hate to hear is “What bands sound like Sublime? Ever hear Pepper, O.A.R….?†That is the wrong perspective and only leads to following derivatives of music, simplifying music to pop-Sublime – any band with a crooning voice and a taste of surf-guitar. It’s far more important to ask “What bands did Sublime sound like?†– which will move you up in your musical knowledge and broaden your chance for discovery. Rewind Selector attempts to rewire the biggest fans of Sublime into bigger fans of music, teaching them where Sublime got its roots, and hopefully finding several more favorite bands for each person who takes the time to listen.
"Rewind Selector is more of a project than a bootleg. It began in the 90s by a guy who went by the moniker heLTa on the Sublime board at www.skunk.com. There were 14 tracks including a track by the Vandals covering Sublime’s “Ball and Chain.†True, that track is out of place, but I respect the original creator of this album and have left it in intentionally through the years. Thanks must go out to many who helped and many who researched. In particular, Sean (aka Agent4TwentyR) compiled one of the most detailed lists when everyone around him was just thinking to themselves “Wow, I recognize a lot of Sublime songs as partial covers or full of samples.†Without him, I wouldn’t have had the energy to knock out all of these tracks. The 36 track and the 56 track versions of Rewind Selector were made by me in 2000 and 2001. A million times I told myself I’d eventually create many more and had made lists of some as I came upon the originals. Unfortunately, I spent more time linking the songs and noting similarities than actually creating until Vince messaged me and offered to do some leg work. I taught him how to merge the tracks to make them sound like the ones I had created and he took it from there. Without him kicking me back into gear, these tracks may have been left on the shelf. Extra special thanks to Juhani over in Finland for supplying some of the rarer tracks -- even from vinyl -- for free."
