Sebadoh - Skull (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@freeecountryy]

This always reminds me of the winter of 1999. I was a senior in high school and working as a cashier at a local grocery chain called Big Y in E Longmeadow, MA. Even though Sebadoh is from that area, only a handful of people that I knew were familiar with em. The Sebadoh album had come out and I can't remember how, but I had gotten a seBADoh bumper sticker and slapped it on the bumper of my 1987 Oldsmobile Delta 88 and while walking out of work one night I noticed a note had been stuffed under my wiper. "Dude, you rock!" it read. "This is Drew and Andy and we didn't think anyone else in this town were into Sebadoh!!! So cool!. I must've played the song on my ride home cuz every time I hear the opening I get the flashback to that specific time, and what the almost empty parking lot looked like. That's my long winded story, and I'm sticking to it.

Excellent story! I love these encounters too - it helps remind us we're not alone, and there actually are others in this f'd up world we can gel with.

this comment has hardcore 'le wrong generation' vibes. Believe me, Ethan. The indie scene is doing just fine, you just need to look harder.

Man im on a 90's nostalgia ride this morning. This was in the cd player as my band was driving through europpe playing Lo-Fi music, hungry, wet, no money, sleeping in a crampy Van, I'd do it all over again in a hearbeat.

[@manmelt4037]

Best decade of my life, so glad to have be a teen in the 90’s, great new music, great shows in cool venues. Unfortunately, at least in Philly, a large majority of the smaller venues disappeared. I miss those times, and the miss the scene.

[@elijahgibran7569]

Manmelt fuck, I totally agree. Seeing Indie/Alternative/Emo Bands at small, intimate venues was the best part of late teens and early 20's. We were in on something the rest of the world was missing out on.

[@Iovearchive]

I wish I was a teen in the 90s. The 2020s are not treating me well

[@Noizedas]

[Verse 1] There is history in this place There are dragons to be chased And though I don't know who you are An easy flow and a strong, a strong heart And the charm in the way you hide [Chorus] Gently take my skull for a ride [Verse 2] And I don't know who you are But I know what I would like you to be A one-night stand under stoned persuasion But a joy that I can't hide [Chorus] Gently take my skull for a ride [Bridge] We can never ever go too far The pain we can't escape at least will wait So let's go quickly, no we go slow Let's go chasing dragons through the snow [Outro] Kindly take my all And give me all you have Gently take my skull for a ride Take and shake your soul But never lose control Gently take your skull for a ride

[@bobbypkp]

Got Bakesale CD for Christmas in 1994. When people wanna know what the 90s sounded like (beside the obvious Nirvana, STP, AIC, etc.) - I point to Bakesale (along with much of DinoJr)

[@bradwig]

i feel such powerful nostalgia towards this song/ video....despite having known this song for only a short time

[@Noizedas]

When driving an old beat up car with the whole band inside was the basis of most music videos. That time when everything was perfect. Somewhere a vhs copy of mallrats was playing. Someone was playing sega drinking soda for breakfast. Some kid was skateboarding chewing bubble gum and when she let you put your hand on her leg while driving, you remember you’ve never felt so alive and free. The click of the tape switching sides automatically was the most technology you needed

[@shanelevene4864]

That was one side of it... When that car crashed and you always knew it was gonna crash. It could only crash; you were driving. So fast... Too fast... Always trying to escape some place. Somewhere out there was a needle exchange. We mostly all ended up there. Waiting in those orange chairs, reading posters about hepatitis and HIV, a white vision of the past, a melancholic mist drifting in from your travel. That was after we had learnt what life and love was... A fleeting, mystical twirl. Beaten down. Some guy shot his wife and brother. Another glided from the top floor of a tall building. The bands had split. Music moved on. We were all into our solo projects. The room was falling apart. You tried to pawn the door. It was open all hours after that...

[@geoffreyhhill]

Sebadoh was the first band I got into. Got to see them live in Cleveland

[@themetropolitains]

Reminds me when I when I got for Christmas the Uno Transworld video in 95. I proper nailed that VHS.

[@doublebass1985]

I heard this song on a Skateboarding video from 1995 called UNO. I liked the song so I wanted to hear it here on youtube..

[@enefiscrypt758]

Tom Penny!

[@Oakpathetics]

Probably my favourite skating part of all time!! Penny destroyed that bank with all those flip combinations.. so stylish 😎

[@wasntborntofollow]

One of the best video-clips ever! Fact! Inoxidable, perfect tune!

[@vannjunkin8041]

There was (and still is) a bar called Bradys in Hammond, La.. there was this dude that used to wear this bands shirt .. the baby and the toilet.. I think he was also the bassist for Invisible Cowboy if I remember correctly.. I was stoned a lot then though.. lol.. anyways I then wondered what they sounded like .. ffwd to now..

[@daveschonzeit2639]

As many have stated, I too found Sebadoh through The Uno Video. I always though t Transworld took great care in choosing music. Many bands I'm still into were discovered through skate vids.

[@greengrassofhome]

[@21innocentbystander]

I never understood the popularity of 'Skull'. Why this one? Maybe one day I'll figure it out.

[@2tonesg]

In general, or recently? If recently, it's because it was in a skate video or two.

[@21innocentbystander]

chunkymonkey I was thinking in general, compared to other songs of the catalogue. I’ll get there...!

[@yolandbator180]

Another song about smoking heroin?

[@BroadcastsFromPoorFarm]

@@2tonesg I’m not sure what ‘recent’ means in this context bc Transworld Skateboarding’s Uno was put out in ‘96 and Anthology was put out in 2000. I think a lot of us were in our early teens when these videos came out. So it’s not necessarily the fact that it was put in a skate video, it’s that we’re all revisiting (via KZbin) our childhoods with these songs.

[@endlessnameless6494]

Was 15 when it hit: always just seemed like a good, sad song to angst out about girls or life to? Was also an unexpected departure from j's neil young classic rock trip. Just a good soft college rock song.😂
