Yeah, it's a PUP song, an Off with there Heads video and a Simpson's joke.

Rosenstock is clearly a master of originality.

Gemini Her Majesty is one of the best albums I've heard since it came out and I honestly believe it's better than anything they did when they were a traditional third wave band, not that I didn't like their music from that era. I remember when it first came out it was kinda dissed in this thread and that blows my mind because that album is so goddamn good, it's been in a steady rotation for me since the first time I heard it.

The sad part for me is, I figured he was dead a long time ago.

In other sad, but nowhere near as sad as Prince Buster dying news, The Specials and The Skatalites are both playing in Chicago this week, except they're both playing Thursday night, so you have to pick one. I chose Skatalites even though I know there's only like two living members left. I guess I figure this is probably my last chance to see them, and The Specials might still come around one more time.

The Specials are a bit of a skeleton nowadays, aren't they? I mean, Brad died at the start of this year (RIP), Jerry was never part of the reunion in 2009, and Roddy Radiation and Neville Staple have both left. So the Specials at this point are basically Terry, Horace and Lynval, aren't they?

Did anyone ever listen to any of the "Today's Specials" era stuff? I've only listened to the Guilty Til Proved Innocnet album (where they decided they might as well make a bit of money out of the ska punk craze in America), but has anyone any thoughts on the album they did with Desmond Dekker? Worth listening to?

I had, or might still have, Today's Specials, and it was not good. I listened to it once, and that was enough.

Today's Specials were the version of the Specials who did that super energetic cover of Pressure Drop, right?? I liked that. It wouldn't surprise me if that's the best part of that album, though.

Did the Selecter ever have an album in the 1990s where they teamed up with an old Jamaican superstar? I feel like they might have done, but I'm not sure.

Honestly, I tend to assume all of the 2 Tone bands except Madness did that (they obviously had a lot of Blue Beat influence but I think their single biggest influence as artists was the late, great and inimitable Ian Dury, who they did record a song with).

Skatalites turned out to be just ok. The music was good, but the young guys in the band did not look terribly comfortable on stage. Charley Organaire played some songs too and he was good, but he also came out with The Skatalites and it was pretty clear that there wasn't any practice done because he had this constant look on his face that he wasn't totally sure what to do except for play a couple harmonica solos. Doreen Shaffer is still fantastic even though she's at least 70.

I wonder if they really thought it would be the last tour, or there would be a more lengthy break, or if they were just goofing.

Could they not have just made a live record and called it a day? I mean, I get not wanting to give Victory the satisfaction, but who needs the headache?

Assume they will claim it's not original material so it will not count.

I think victory said that part of the agreement to re record the album in the first place, instead of just re-releasing the original, was that it would not count towards the record deal.
