I dunno if you've had the pleasure of Sir Mix-A-Lot's reworking of "Baby Got Back" for a Target commercial (i.e. "Back to school"). It's a travesty.

I don't think so...prolly some ad exec dug this nugget up out of their CD collection and threw it on there.

I saw them open for Quicksand at this all-ages club in the 'burbs in 1995. Christ that was a long time ago...

Why am I associating Civ with Youth of Today? Both Revelation bands? or is there some lead singer thing happening...I'm losing my mind and don't feel like using google to confirm.

Quicksand were good, eh? My first solo-driving-to-Boston-from-W.Mass experience. Middle East in Cambridge. Excellent. It had to be around 1993 because I was still in high school.

I believe so. They shared members I think...dunno which ones though.

I loved Quicksand. The show I saw them at (with CIV) was awesome. Sergio (the bass player) borrowed my pen for something after the show. One of my very first rockstar meetings ever. Did you ever hear Handsome or Rival Schools? (Neither was quite as good as QS, in my opinion.)
