same as it never was.

jmb,
earth is ruling me. thank you for that. i’m already hooked on this drone doom…and need more. suggestions?
after a little surfing around, i’ve learned that this year’s rock the bells concert features the original pharcyde, all four members! i’m going to see public enemy/mission of burma/sebadoh in chicago on july 18th. how about going to see rock the bells on the next night? wow.
alan, i never did get to see the coup, unfortunately. mark DID work in the same call center as boots, though! i saw some good shows up there - de la soul (twice), neurosis (twice), black sabbath, rhythm pigs…man, i can’t remember. i missed more shows than i saw, let’s put it that way. this guy up in seattle gave me a couple of too short’s tapes from before he got signed. they’re pretty good, too. they’re totally like punk rock demos. he looks like a kid on the cover.
oh yeah…i also saw beck at bumbershoot, i think that was ‘97. great show.
this is the first pharcyde video we ever saw, when it came out on rap city. i love how they begin that song with the pro-black stuff and then bust into your mama jokes the whole song. happy mother’s day to ya mama.
in 1993, a couple buddies and i were actually pulled over by a cop while listening to pharcyde’s “officer.” i threw the pipe out the window right away (never did find that damn thing). we were smoking out as i drove by him. i think he pulled me over because i had only one headlight…you know, too stoned to put a new one in, which i eventually did after kenny the cop pulled me over twice for that. we (mark and nick, you’ll remember this) actually got away from kenny the third time. that was some classic shit, turning out the lights, er…light, while going down “h” street, from kavanaugh, up and down the hills. someone said, “throw out the 40s!” and mark said, “NO, NOT YET!!!” i busted a right and we ended up back at mark’s house, celebrating that getaway. but i digress. after the cop let us go, he was walking away and i cranked up “officer” as he got into his car. “please, don’t pull me over mr. officer, don’t pull me over mr. officer, PLEASE!”
in 1995, i saw pharcyde in seattle, that was one of the best shows ever. a year later, i saw them again and fatlip wasn’t with them. after the show, i asked slim kid tre where he was and he simply said, “oh, he’s at home.” i agree, alan, their second record was nothing compared to the first, although fatlip was on that record, too. it’s still a good record but nowhere near a classic hip hop lp, like “bizarre ride II the pharcyde.” i tried to get into labcabincalifornia when it came out and although it has two of their greatest songs on it (“drop” and “runnin’”, it didn’t really grab me on a whole.
i’ve never even heard “plain rap” or any of their other albums. tre left the group, too. it’s just bootie brown and imani now and has been for years.
downtown los angeles is gritty.
