Sublime Releasing New Material

Gasoline Alley/MCA act Sublime will release a new album and video collection. The new album, Second Hand Smoke, due Nov. 25, includes 19 tracks culled from unreleased material, rarities, and remixes recorded while the ska/punk group was working on its three previous albums -- sublime, Robbin' The Hood and 40 Oz. To Freedom.

The song "Saw Red," recorded in 1994 and featuring Gwen Stefani of No Doubt, is among the set's centerpieces, as is "Thanx Dub," featuring the group's DJ, Field Marshall, on drums. The album will be preceded by a home video package, "sublime," expected Nov. 18. As well as impromptu interview footage, the work includes six videos: four from Sublime and two earlier tracks.

“Satisfied”

Tom Waits | 2011

Only the genius of Tom Waits could combine the subject of mortality, a reoccurring theme in his work, with wordplay that name checks both Mick and Keith, whom he calls "Mr. Jagger" and "Mr. Richards," and the title of their magnum opus, "Satisfaction." And to show just how cool Waits really is, he even got Mr. Richards to play along, one of nine guest appearances the guitarist has made on three Waits albums. "This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
