Especially Sublime, whose canonization I think is only chalked up to the fact that the lead singer is metaphysically hanging out with Shannon Hoon at present.</p> @puhctek: We’re going to have to agree to disagree on this point, as I find all of those bands pretty much repugnant.

Is it just me, or is the warped tour marketed as an "underground" festival event but rather is just another marketing scheme to scrounge up some money? The tour seems to have wavered from its roots, but I suppose that's the status quo these days.</p> I remember the first time the warped tour came around my time way way back, and was populated by bands who had seemed to not follow the mainstream fad or trend, as it was less commercialized, less homogeneous, and less tepid.
