LYRICS:

I swear sometimes you're taking me for granted
I swear sometime your a whore
I swear but I know there ain't no reason
'Cause everything is such a bore

Last night I had a dream, though it made me sick
Saw you in your bedroom sucking someone else's dick, (MY GOODNESS!)
My friends all laughed, said it was my fault
said it's time that it happened to me
But I know that the show was much more than a low
So I'm waiting for the tide to get low

If I was an ant crawling upon the wall
tell me baby would it make any difference at all
If I was a roach on a tree tell me would you smoke me?
Bright lights put me in a trance
But it ain't house music, makes me want to dance. (WORD)
I don't gamble but I bet,
I'm gonna die if I don't get a cigarette
Hold me close I always play the mack
with this monkey on my back.

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 that I would 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 of the 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.
The cover art is my original, composed of 104 pieces of album covers, each representational of one or more songs that were covered or sampled. They are not necessarily all on the album, but they are used in some way by Sublime. The large version is for printing while the compact version is for use in iTunes' Cover Flow.

"Caught you in the bedroom sucking someone elses di-" "OH my Goodness!!" xD

[sublimegman]

Oh My God dude,....people totally hate on this stuff! I don't get it......

I guess it's like seeing the man behind the curtain or something...

Brad and the boys are playing the songs and singing the songs and playing their instruments and in most cases, changing the songs,.... Therefore they ARE "Original" right?

Everybody in music is "influenced", it's just to what extent you chose to admit it. Sublime just happened to shout it out loud.

@sublimegman "the songs on the radio all drive me crazy" brad ... fuck the haters sublimes a great hybrid of music an samples and if someone hates a group for sampling and improving on a song then they must hate just about everything since 2003 cause its all recycled stereo manure. and hip hop steals jazz beats all the time its nothing new to borrow and adapt an old song

[FatLippedFish]
