Sublime, The Pharcyde. "Doin' Time (Remixed By Marshall Arts)." Sublime (Deluxe Edition), Gasoline Alley, J.V., 2006.
A new month is here and the seasons be a-changin'. I'm in Portland this weekend and feeling the autumn weather, with the changing temperature, turning leaves, and rain puddles to splash around in your Wellies (a welcome treat coming from drought-stricken California). But I'm still holding onto that summertime feeling when the livin's easy, and this is just the jam.
Released in 1996, the original "Doin' Time" sampled jazz flutist Herbie Mann's "Summertime," recorded at New York's legendary club The Village Gate.
Ten years later, the deluxe edition of Sublime featured a remix of the track by Marshall Arts, with rhymes from one of my favourite west coast hip-hop crews, The Pharcyde. Check out the video below featuring rare footage of the recording.
