"The Fun Lovin Criminal" is still a bangin' toon in my view.
― Freedom, Thursday, 9 July 2009 11:49 (fourteen years ago) link
still wanna know what that female vocal on 'There Was A Time' is from - found some interview a while back where Fast said it was a very old US folk song but no further details.
― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Thursday, 9 July 2009 12:06 (fourteen years ago) link
For some reason, I thought Fun Lovin' Criminals, Lordz of Brooklyn and G. Love and Special Sauce were all different names for the same band (like, you know, how rappers call themselves all sorts of different things). It's only reading this thread that's allowed me to separate them at all in my head.
Also, as a side note, 311 were in a movie called Omaha that's one of the funniest '90s indie comedies, and definitely the funniest thing to ever come out of Omaha ever. The best parts are when they get the (actual) chief of police to talk about the roving gangs of kickboxers coming over from Iowa. 311 plays, like, "incidental rock band" or something and is moderately credible as Fishbone-lite.

Actually some great Whiney/strongo posts up there, but I want the UK folks to confess some more.

so eventually i learned that the sample on There Was A Time is Wilma Burgess 'I Don't See Me In Your Eyes Anymore' which was recently added to her myspace #happyending

I really like their debut album. I even saw'em in concert. Well, at a festival.― nathalie, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 00:39 (4 years ago)
― nathalie, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 00:39 (4 years ago)
I enjoyed the singles off the first album when they were on the radio, and saw 'em at a festival in '99, where they were one of the funnest acts of the day.
Huey and Kar1 Hyde from Underwor1d reportedly came to blows backstage, though, over the honour of Saffr0n from Repub1ica.

i like huey on 6 music. he has a good radio voice, and his music selection is often very enjoyable.
― mark e, Thursday, 7 April 2011 07:10 (thirteen years ago) link
He has very good music taste, better than Lauren Laverne at any rate, but 6music now seem determined to boost his royalty cheques by playing one of his own abysmal records at any opportunity.

― cockroach shakespeare (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 7 April 2011 09:33 (thirteen years ago) link
I hope to never hear another Fun Lovin' Criminals again, but I find Huey winning: he has an amiable radio manner, a fondness for dogs and the air of a cheerful, generous and self-aware slogger who is grateful for all that life has given him, despite his limited gifts.
He's married to a 'Lady Rebecca Morgan'. Is he now a minor aristocrat?

my brother was a fan of their first album, and in late '98 while I was on a trip to London I picked up a copy of 100% Colombian for him since it hadn't been released in the U.S. yet. it was a pretty decent album! definitely enjoyable and well crafted aside from the band's inherently corny schtick.

I was in Europe in '98 too and I met these guys in Germany who, upon finding out that I was American, went all nuts about Fun Lovin' Criminals. I've never heard their second album, but I had been fairly derisive of the first one to my American friends who liked it (I feigned ignorance to the Germans).

Actually, I told the German guys to check out Sublime. I thought I was being such a cultural ambassador.
