If you live in Long Island and/or Brooklyn and haven't seen BTMI you just aren't trying. I used to live in SC, now I live in GA and I've seen BTMI at least 8 times in 4 different states.

Ska Thread; I need your help! I'm making a CD for work and I'm calling it lovely ska covers. I have several, all the RBF stuff, I just remembered the Less than Jake Greased stuff, various cure covers, that cover of freshman, but I want to organize it from oldest song to newest. Are there some sweet old songs that got ska covered? I think the oldest I have is Hippos groovy kind of love, or RBF talking 'bout a revolution. Send halp please. Also are there any "classics" that have been covered that I missed?

You can get from Tijuana to Vancouver in 24 hours nonstop driving. In that same amount of time you can go from Miami to Syracuse, NY which isn't even at the top of the east coast. You travel in 3 countries on the west coast in the same time it takes to not even cross the entirety of the east coast. Now the northeast most major cities are really loving close together, 2-4 hours apart tops between the major ones which is awesome. Where I live in the southeast it takes almost two hours just to get to Atlanta, which is where my band plays our "local" shows. Me and loldance grew up in SC and if a show wasn't in Charlotte, NC which was about 45 minutes away we drove to Atlanta, or Knoxville or Wilmington all of which were 4 hour drives easy. If we were lucky a show that missed Charlotte would hit Columbia which was only a 2 hour drive. Road trips 4 lyfe. Josh Wow fucked around with this message at 02:24 on May 7, 2011 |

I would routinely see shows in Sacramento and the Bay area if it was someone I really wanted to see. Like RBF, Streetlight,Big D(when they were still good) Leftover Crack, mostly I would just have to drive the 4 hours to see. 4 hours is like 4 states back here.

Also I want to hear a ten piece ska band starring Potthast. Stitch-Up playing La with a random kid in a BotAR shirt named Dennis on guitar was the best part of the Streetlight concert I went to.

Instead of being a major jerkwad and listing the 33 Bomb shows I've been to (I'm a big nerd and keep a list of every show I attend), I'll just happily inform y'all that one of Jeff's social media accounts claims he's done recording for Vacation.

I probably could start listing a ton of Jamaican ska covers, but I'm assuming that's not what you're looking for. Does the BumbleBee Tuna song by Mephiskapheles count? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Lrh6z-VDc As for some covers of actual songs: The Pietasters - It's The Same Old Song [Four Tops] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osPijYP_f3g Hepcat - Gimme Little Sign [Brenton Wood] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyGZrcA9YJE The Hippos - So Lonely [The Police] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs53tjU7Uls The Slackers - Wanted Dead or Alive [Bon Jovi] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so0j02nLEXw Chris Murray and the Slackers - Janie Jones [The Clash] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgZjClfvQxk EDIT: Also, everything off of the first two albums by the Skandalous All-Stars.

Just look for the numerous ska cover and tribute albums that came out 10-15 years ago. "Skandalous: I've got You Covered!" "Ska the third wave: Cover It Up" "Metalliska" "Skankaholics Unanimous" "We Are Not Devo" And whatever the Op Ivy tribute album was called: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpWrGBlr8RQ

When I saw Less Than Jake they did Animaniacs, Spongebob, and the Big Mac song. Kinda wish they had done the iCarly theme though, because that's drat fun.

I was thinking to recommend a Blue Meanies cover but i couldn't decide between... The Grinch: http://www.myspace.com/bluemeanieschicago or Ace of Spades http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHC4NYnjhnc They had a great cover of The Clash's Janie Jones but I haven't seen it recorded anywhere.

So a show has been announced in my area, July 24th, Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto. Two bands I have wanted to see live since I started loving Ska. How good are these guys live? also, I remember hearing something about RBF's Singer leaving a few months back. Do they already have a replacement?

I'm not sure if I want to see RBF for the 4th time, since it's been basically the same exact show for the last 5+ years, except without Matt Wong & now Scott... If anything I'd go for Streetlight who are always awesome. CodfishCartographer posted:So I have seen the error of my ways, and due to all the hype from this thread have decided to look into BTMI!
