I'm not really big on the whole reading/writing thing, but if you can think of something you'd want me to write about I might be able to put something up there. I'd probably be more useful for semi-obscure information about ska bands or info on certain upcoming releases and tours.

Yeah right now it's kinda hard for me to write things because I haven't been to a show in almost a yea, but I'd like to do bits about some of the bands I've seen/will see, especially since I don't go to big shows, just the lovely local ones with bands nobody knows. God best part of moving back to NY is will be being able to go to shows more often e: Do you want me to shoot you an email with my username or what BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Apr 1, 2010 |

also, i'm planning on doing a top-X (i'm thinking 30 as of right now) ska covers of all-time write up after i do 99SOR (tomorrow) so anyones anyone think should be on the list, let me know. right now the only ones the i know for drat sure are going in, and probably really high up, are: regatta 69- talk dirty to me, pietasters- big balls, save ferris- come on eileen, five iron frenzy- mama mia and it's not unusual. they'll probably be a few rbf ones up there but if you ask me hungry like the wolf is the cream of that crop e: btmi!- anywhere i lay my head is getting an honorable mention because it's a lovely cover if you compare it to the original but it's a loving badass song on it's own.

So I went to a friends place who was giving away some of his albums, and picked up the Specials self titled album because I saw it was produced by Elvis Costello. I honestly don't know poo poo about ska, this is ska right? I really like it, reminds me a lot of a ... happier Clash?

I can't stand The Freshman cover. Waiting Room is a killer cover by them although the recording quality isn't that great. When I saw them with LTJ and Suburban Legends they said somebody from SL came up and told them how great The Freshman song was, apparently they didn't know it was a cover.

The Hippos' "Always Something There to Remind ME" is awesome, but it's more on the Power Pop end of their career than the ska end. Big D's cover of Iron Maiden's "Iron Maiden." Honestly, probably just a third of the Metalliska comp.

You could categorize a lot of ska as a "happier [band name]," even the Flaming Tsunamis.

I've been downloading a bunch of Loveline to listen to on tour and there's a bunch of ska bands as guests. I'm listening to the one with the Aquabats right now, and they were on for about 10 minutes until the first call and they bailed. Turns out they are really religious and didn't like the content. Seems weird they'd do it in the first place if that was the case. Also Bobcat Goldthwait apparently directed their video for Super Rad. edit: About 30 minutes into the episode and they just came back. This is kind of a trainwreck, it's awesome.

How it Goes is not very good, and also was mixed/mastered worse than their previous albums, like worse than the albums my friends made using the closet as a studio - I'm still shocked that that is how they chose to release that album. Everything after that is utter poo poo.

Personally I hate the fake super thick Boston accent Dave has in the beginning of the song. He doesn't talk like that. Also the fact that he's like 'we didn't ask permission to do this hope it's ok...' is total bullshit. They either paid for the rights to cover that song on every cd they printed or it was public domain. It's just so very very fake. Also Big D doing a song about how great Boston is....whoop de doo. Gypsy Hill is probably my favorite album of theirs though, I just hate that song.

Sandwolf posted:Get the gently caress out of MY house than. Maybe it's because Scott Farcas was Babby's First Ska Song but I can listen to Hello Rockview for hours on end. Keasbey I listen to maybe once, and halfway through a second play, and I need something new. Also Big Crash is never mentioned as a rad LTJ song and I don't know why, it's easily one of the best on the album. e: As far as Borders, I really like certain things about that version of Look What Happened, specifically the horn intro, but even that isn't as good as the rerecording on Anthem. That album is lame e2: I'm talking to my friend tonight, I'll have to ask her how bad Big D was when they opened for them this winter. e3: I started the RazSum thing, I'm waiting for one of my friends to hook me up with some background info so that it's not just AW poo poo LOOK AT THIS LISTEN TO THIS FREE MUSIC SO loving GOOD MAN BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Apr 3, 2010 |
