Self - So Low

[pippet50]

A lot of albums from this time period were very under-rated and ahead of their time..Self, Hum, Sponge to name a few....this was an excellent time period for music...i feel it truly defined my generation ;)

[thugzcrytoo]

just ran into matt tonight in the wine shop I work at. Was great chatting with him.

[AbSYNthBacklash]

r.i.p. mike.

[pinkbutterflypoo]

He has a song on Lupe Fiasco's new album Lasers. It was a rad discovery. Song is called State Run Radio. :)

[MentalTeleprosy]

Wearing that I'd be so low too.

[TimothyRWebb]

great song..... bad video. This director missed the boat.

[SAINOMNODLEHS]

Now this too is a good tune too. These were good.

[jenkirstenjad]

4 people are so low that they wish they were dead.

[rikkisogazgf]

R these the same guyz whu sang "Stay Home" from Shrek?

[quetzalcoatlustastic]

@rikkisogazgf Yes.

[solidmotion]

@rikkisogazgf They are one in the same.

[local0116]

@rikkisogazgf yes...good tune



[louevilj]

ever noticed that the butthole surfers stole the beginin 2 dis song (vocal) "i don't mind the sun sumtimes"

[docBOSS1444]

@louevilj i new it sounded wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy­yyy to familiar, both amazing songs though

[roesmoker]

Is Matt's tongue really pierced, or is that going along with the pseudo-punk conceit of the video? Also, which one is Mike, does anyone know? I suspect it's the other bleach blond.

[aira37]

i have been looking for this song FOREVER!!!! i could only remember parts and didn't know who sang it. thank god i found it. i was going crazy!

[childfreeman]

@faithful4given81

well said

[TheChai0628]

Didnt these guys do a song for Shrek. something with Home in the title. and i heard they changed their name

[roesmoker]

@TheChai0628 that would be Stay Home ("I wanna stay home today") and they didn't change their name! Still sElf. Matt did a side project called Wired All Wrong, maybe that's what you're thinking of.

[buvuyog]

MAG GIG KAYO DITO SA PILIPINAS! ^____^

[12345678dia]

i was singin this song nd my math teacher started rockin out to it i was like wtf lmfao dude?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[HankVols]

I miss seeing these guys at the 'boro. good times, good times...I think

[quicky2103]

Wow, totally forgot about these guys. My mom made a big stink about the album name mentioning "subliminal", she thought this music was going to make me join a cult or something, hahahaha

[ajatfm]

I love this song so much

[4Craven4]

Cool song, and clip.

I love the band,

[candycane15]

summer of 97... i remember listening to this a *lot* loved the whole album

[jojodangerfield]

@candycane15 -- I was there with you, Tenn?

[InjalaidaAfghan]

I love this song so much!

[thebreakoutmovie]

this is the shit...he rocks!

[unnecessaryNoisex]

i got this album for christmas :D its amazing

[videoshirt]

yeah definitely ahead of its time.. i heard this cd for the first time in 07 and i've been playing it ever since.. its dec. 09 now.

this is one of my fave cds of all time, i love everything mahaffey does but this one for some reason is kinda close to my heart

marathon shirt is like my fave one.. everytime it comes on i am amazed

[bjory311]

lol... I got this album in '97 and I'm still rocking it in 2010!  It's timeless.

[rexspe]

I liked self better the first time when they were called BECK.

[787Bisurdaddy]

Matt Mahaffey might be one of the greatest musical geniuses to actually make GOOD pop music. It's so accessible, and yet so creative and interesting. I cannot believe that he is not more popular. The man can fucking make brilliant music!

[SecondandTwo]

I use to listen to the audio casette of this album when i was around 13 or 14...still love it.

[ColorsBright]

Amen Brother! :o) I just got home from visiting the soon dead Virgin megastore. 3 days left.. how sad :o(

[24222282]

fuck yeah. love this shit

[0o0oo0o]

Criminally underrated group. I bought this album after I saw them live in 1996 or so. Dude is a musical genious and produced some amazing material. Too bad they fell under the radar.. The piano breakdown always gets me in this song

[janehcro]

and as much as I like this song I must say if I saw this dude walking down the street I'd hit him too

[janehcro]

I wish they had this damn song on itunes

[ColorsBright]

you know there is something called a CD.

[janehcro]

It's not worth over $1.50 to me

[MADDIEirene]

video is rather ironic isnt it?

(Self & Matt Mahaffey FTW)

[ot0fishman]

I got this album shortly after it came out (when I was in junior high), didn't really appreciate it much then. Now that I'm near thirty I love it. Glad I never got rid of it.

[YouXKneekXIT]

Thank you so for posting this!!! I have been looking for these guys forever :) :) :)

[driedmucus]

to deadjerusalem,

hey man can you send me Mp3 copy of this track, also for the song "canon".. i can't find this album anymore,, know what?! i have also the "rubberneck" album hehe

thanks man!

[silhuetto]

Wow!! I live in Canada, and I have never met anyone else who's even heard of this band before. So glad to see it's so popular :)

[iLikeShoesJimmyChoos]

Did they make a video for "Marathon Shirt"?

[deadjerusalem]

I remember i bought this album on the same day that i bought The Toadies' Rubberneck. Both are awesome.

[Turkeyjaws]

This album was way ahead of its time.

[patrick4207]

i totally agree!

[moqilok]

the reason it was never appreciated...rocked SPM all the way thru high school & i was so glad to have someone from my hometown to represent good music...thanx matt....

[thebreakoutmovie]

i wish i was dead

[OkIhaveaThinDICK]

This is the first time i have ever heard of these guys apparently i missed one of the biggest bands of the 90s? I like the song but honestly never heard this or them before.

[jwp68420]

one of the best songs of the 90's

[iluvkimjaejoong]

nothing can touch the 90s!

[candycane15]

wow.. grade 10 memories!! No one I knew back then had a clue what I was talking about when I brought up this album. Listened to it sooo much that summer. Thanks for posting this!

[havyn809]

Too bad the song is infinitely better than the video lol

[aenima138]

seen these guys in nashville, great show

[oilybohunk7]

I love this song. Thank you for posting!

[mommy4mom]

I love this song and really wish I could embed it!!! ;) Thanks for posting this. Love this album!

[graciesaidstfu]

Damn, I've missed this song!!!!

[starsweet4]

when i first heard this song and cannon i thought it was a girl singing.. lol

[mathisto21]

Wow!!! I have never seen this vid!!! Subliminal Plastic Motives is an album I grew up listening too! That's for posting! Brought back a lot of great memories!!!

[bladderkid]

fucking sexy lead singer

[trippedvirus]

SELF is AWSOME has anyone heard or bought Matts new cd WIRED ALL WRONG break out the battle tapes?

its awsome if your a self fan realy look into it

[Ranaldo20]

Thank you thank you! Reminds me of 120 minutes!

[csehil]

this is one of those cd's that if you lost it and found it again years later, it would sound just as good....great songs...matt inspired me to write poetry

[jimmireal]

AWESOME... thanks for posting this

[presidents04]

Self was fuckin great back in the mid 90s. I wonder if Lily Allen owned this album back then, this song sounds like something she'd write today.

[ednafrau]

i love this song! i discovered self back then through this video...i just saw the 2nd half of it and i was blown away. it took me a couple of years to find the album (i'm in argentina)...actually, i had to order it from amazon =P anyway, all this just to say that matt is a genius and thank you phillafella for posting this awesome video! :) long live self!!!

[DronusProductions]

i love self, kick ass need some marathon shirt

[lonotes63]

Awesome! Thanks to the poster. I played bass on this track. Matt is a LOT of fun to work with!
