AboutMatt Maguire Expertise I am new to allexperts, but have plenty of knowledge and experience in the realm of Sublime. Guarantee: you will receive an answer within 2 days of posting the question -- I have no feedback so far and would like to build some.
I can answer most questions about the band, the significance of the lyrics, the show dates,
the unreleased albums and tracks, misinformation, and, above all, I am an expert on their
influences and related music.
Experience I have been a huge fan for 14 years, I ran a server which distributed Sublime's live and unreleased music 24/7 for 4 years, I have answered questions about the band daily for years on their old website, and I know some of the largest collectors in the world. I created the 5 CD bootleg "Rewind Selector" which documents the influences of Sublime and was the topic of a Spin Magazine interview.
Education/Credentials I did not study music in college, but I majored in English, so I can write a clear response. I worked as a research assistant in the past, so I have skills in research if I need to figure out an answer.
Past/Present Clients Sublime fans aren't my clients, but I have distributed swag and rare tracks to all those who want them for years at no cost.

Question Don't know if you're still working on it or not, I sent an email to a comcast email, but not sure if it's yours. Also, can give me some clues to finding a complete clement irie album, all I can find are tracks on compilations. thanks
Answer Mark --
I am always collecting new info and taking notes from people who email me. Lately I've received a few at my mdmaguirespam account on comcast. What did you ask? Try emailing me again, please.
Finding rare reggae can be a task, but when I need it, I go to Ernie B's website. http://www.ebreggae.com/
It may look ghetto, but if there's something you want, you can usually get it there. I have purchased and received without issue from Ernie B. Unfortunately Clement Irie is not listed on Ernie B's, so I am not sure what the deal is. I only have single tracks, so perhaps he doesn't have full albums? That would be bizarre. With a little research I was only able to find comps, 7" vinyl singles, and this new CD "Rule Again": http://mealyrecords.com/clementirie.html Let me know if you have better luck!
