With the exception of The poo poo That You Hate, everything clicked instantly. This album is fantastic, probably the best thing that'll come out this year.

SKA SUCKS
Really love most of the songs. Couple of the Kudrow-esque slower ones I'm still not a fan of, though (which is weird because I like Kudrow and past slow BTMI songs). But I wouldn't be surprised it I liked them in a few more listens.

Just got my vinyl copy of Vacation in the mail today. I'm liking the album a lot, but a bit bummed out that there isn't even a tiny bit of ska in it.

Eh, not too much of a fan. It doesn't feel...sporadic enough, maybe? I don't know, it's not necessarily bad, it's just not something I see myself revisiting all too much.

Massacre Raid was pretty great. Standout bands I saw were 4.0, Chilled Monkey Brains, Paranoia Dance Party, Beat Officers, The Hits and Shut Up Travis. I had to miss Joystick and Stuck Lucky since I was in a band playing after them and was soundchecking during their sets, which is lame because they're two of the bands I wanted to see the most.

I can't make my mind up on vacation, still on my first listen, I like Hurricane Waves quite a lot, didn't like Campaign for a better next weekend. It might take me a couple of listens to get into. I know the first few BTMI songs I heard I didn't like at all until I listened a couple of times and I really got into them

Everything Went Numb and Point/Counterpoint were the ones I was really shocked to not hear

Just stumbled across this thread. Some of my best memories involve playing and listening to ska. Still got the wingtips in the closet. Much respect.

Just got back from working the RBF/Streetlight show.

1st opener, Rodeo Ruby Love, was pretty terrible.

2nd opener, New Riot, were loving awesome. They're from the UK, and they play some awesome punk-ska. Their bass player gave me their album after the show. Highly recommend checking out their Myspace, http://www.myspace.com/newriotuk . The songs on there don't do them justice, they were really great live.
Also, during their set Tomas walked by me to the backstage area and my heart beat a little faster :swoon:

Streetlight were fantastic as always. New guy on trombone definitely knows what he's doing. Setlist was (order is probably way off):
Watch it Crash
Mephisto's Cafe
Better Place, Better Time
Skyscraper
Forty Days
Such Great Heights
Would You Be Impressed
Me and Julio
Here's to Life
Moment of Silence/Moment of Violence
Big Sleep

Like was said before, no Point/Keasbey/Counterpoint or Everything Went Numb, but I guess I can understand them being kind of sick of those songs. I'm pretty sure Tomas said something to that effect when I saw him a little while ago.

Reel Big Fish...well, I almost hate to say it, but they loving killed it. Aaron's energy is just infectious. As much as I hated seeing Scott go, I have to say that the guy they got to replace him is pretty drat good. There were only a couple of times when his absence was really noticeable, and it was mostly due to not having 2 guitars. They played the standards, but they also played a good amount of lesser-known songs. They also got the massive circle pit on the floor to form a several hundred-person conga line. Despite the fact that a good chunk of the original members are gone, and the fact that they haven't put out a really good album in years, they're just so much loving fun live, as they've always been.

Awesome show. Fateo you are lame for not going, especially for such a weak reason.

It kinda did, they loving nailed the opening horns.

Also, I just remembered: when Tomas walked by and almost talked to me, I realized I would have sounded like a total rear end in a top hat if I mispronounced his name. Does anybody know for sure if it's pronounced like Thomas, or is it like toe-maas?

That wasn't the real reason. That was the "look ska kids i'm cool" reason.

Real reason is cause I don't have the cash after getting tickets to both Bosstones/DKM/Street Dogs shows at Fenway.
