If anyone requests a Streetlight song, the universe may cease to exist as the two fundamental forces collide into each other.

Wheat Loaf posted:I was in a music shop recently and found, of all things, a copy of the Save Ferris album (It Means Everything) in the used CDs section, and got it because it was cheap. It's an odd thing. It isn't really ska, is it? Probably owes more to the swing revival than ska. I actually remember reading this pretty old (maybe around 2000-2001) online interview the band's trumpeter did around the time their last studio album was coming out, and he reminisced about how when was invited to join a ska band in school and asked, "What's ska?" the answer he was given was, "It's rock with horns." I still enjoy their cover of Come on, Eileen. And that's a terrible description for ska.

I'm the only person who voted for the gig I'm attending so far, it'd be weird if I got what I wanted by default, but the show's not until 12/3. Looks like he'll playing "Radio" by Alkaline Trio tonight unless an 11th hour vote comes in for "Angeles" by Elliot Smith or "Misery Business" by Paramore...

Battle Rockers posted:I still enjoy their cover of Come on, Eileen. See, when I was in school, I was into music that was popular a decade before I was born (I still am, but now I've added music that was popular three decades before I was born as well  ) and one of the bands I was really into was Dexys Midnight Runners. Of course, I knew "Come On Eileen", but what I really liked was the Searching For the Young Soul Rebels album and the stuff with the horns out in front. In fact, it was this fansite that helped me discover a lot of 1960s bands which are now among my favourites - Geno Washington & the Ram Jam Band, obviously, as well as Cliff Bennett & the Rebel Rousers and Zoot Money's Big Roll Band.So, of course, I ended up running across the Save Ferris version of "Come On Eileen" on YouTube, but it wasn't until later that I realised this was third-wave ska (I'd gotten into Reel Big Fish in the meantime and loved that one stupid song from Turn the Radio Off where Monique Powell does the female vocal part) and gave their album a try. There's one song on it called "Superspy" which I really like. There's another one called "Spam" which is ludicrous in the extreme but still sort of charming, in that sort of inimitably optimistic pre-9/11 way. quote:And that's a terrible description for ska. It is indeed.

Ahh for the late 90s early 00s when every punk-ska band had to have an 80s cover. I was briefly in a band and we covered Take Me Home Tonight, and partially covered Anyway You Want It. It's actually kind of amazing how easily most of those 80s pop hits can be converted to ska.

I was waiting to get a pic with him and a crowd of younger guys were reminiscing about how great it was to see RBF live while some older folks were asking what ska was and he described it as "fast reggae." I also like Spam, but I'll like any song that sounds like the jingle to some canned food.

I was only familiar with them being the originators of Come On, Eileen and didn't realize they had a horn section like in that video. Sounds pretty decent, could almost mistake them for a two-tone ska band if you had it on mute.

Sounds pretty decent, could almost mistake them for a two-tone ska band if you had it on mute. Album #1 (Searching for the Young Soul Rebels) was blue-eyed soul through the prism of punk. Not exactly mod revival, but part of that same zeitgeist. In this incarnation, Dexys were actually on the 2 Tone Tour when Madness left and there was some talk about the possibility of them signing to the label. Horace Panter's autobiography (Ska'd For Life, which I would recommend to anyone who's interested in an inside story on 2 Tone) has this story about how Jerry Dammers had been sent a demo tape of a song called "Mirror In the Bathroom" from a then-unsigned (English) Beat, and every time it was played on the tour bus there'd be this chorus of boos from the Dexys contingent, because they were apparently rivals back in Birmingham. There's an Album #1.5 called The Projected Passion Revue which came out in 2008 or so and compiles recordings from 1981, including a full live show (the eponymous Project Passion Revue - they called all their tours revues because they were big into Stax and Motown and so on). Album #2 (Too-Rye-Aye) is the one with "Come On Eileen". The original guitarist left between albums and set up his own band (the Blue Ox Babes) which incorporated strings into the Dexys sound, but he played a demo tape to Kevin Rowland, who promptly lured away his violinists (the Emerald Express, who are credited as featured artists on some releases of "Come On Eileen") and brought them into the Dexys line-up. I think the biggest influence on the album here is actually Van Morrison; sort of "Celtic soul", I suppose (there's a cover of "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm In Heaven When You Smile)" on this one). Album #3 (Don't Stand Me Down) was the expansive, experimental album. It's usually ranked as their best (though my own favourite is Album #1) but it's hard to categorise. Very much Kevin Rowland's passion project. Infamously failed because Rowland refused to release a single, then when he did relent and let them put out a single (too late to save the album), chose "This Is What She's Like", which was 12 minutes long. Album #4 (One Day I'm Going To Soar) came out a couple of years ago. I have not listened to it (I tend to shy away from "comeback" albums by bands who were popular 30 years ago; the only example of such I can think of that equals or even betters the band in question's heyday is The Liberty of Norton Folgate by Madness) so I cannot comment on its songs.

I'm surprised no punk band has done a cover album of just Literally Every Song From Searching for the Young Soul Rebels But Played Twice as Fast because it seems like a lot of them could be adapted better than most songs people try to cover twice as fast and with a horn section.

I let three videos be posted this time before voicing my displeasure edit: fun story: Victory tried to sign some acquaintances of mine. They asked what the whole Streetlight deal was about, Victory flat out refused to talk about it, so they told them to gently caress off and now aren't a band anymore. Punx.
