why is there no ska forum on here? id much rather read about how much people like the impossibles than how many cds the new drive thru records band is going to do at once to show everyone how artistic they are.

so why dont all the ska kids on here rep it?

blue meanies, MU330, the toasters, the impossibles, bomb the music industry, against all authority...

skankin pickle?

id say if this thread gets huge we could so get a ska forum on here

because you know youve skanked at a show before and you used to own two tone suits when you were in high school. do it for those days.

I just listened to skankin pickle for the first time a few days ago. I'm pretty pissed at myself for waiting so long.

i'm surprised there isn't a ska forum either. especially for all the love streetlight gets around here.

speaking of Streetlight, the new songs I heard live sound real good. found some live versions from youtube. obviously quality isn't very good.

A ska forum would be nice to have, if anything to at least satiate my cravings for it every once in a while.

i think a ska forum will do better than a jazz one since i made that thread once in general and it died pretty quickly. i would rather talk about jazz though.

I do agree with the need for a ska forum though..

09/15/06, 10:31 PM

Theres not many big bands that are pure ska (at least none that i really know) Theres 2nd wave and 3rd wave Ska which is just ska mixed with rock for the 2nd and punk for the 3rd. Which would fit into this forum. Not many people really listen to the first wave.

i used to listen to a lot of first wave but now i usually just put on streetlight or the new catch 22.

oh i love early ska & theres quite a few traditonal sounding bands/artisits floating round these days. not a big believer in the 'wave theory' though.

I'll ignore the blatant self-promotion and give you an honest response.

The songs sound fun, but the recording is hard to swallow.

No props? He said the song sounds fun, but he didn't like the recording quality. That's an alright review in my book. It just means you are gonna be alright when you get a better recording.
No one even gave you a hard time for blatent self promotion.

Exactly. The song I heard was enjoyable, but the quality was sub-par.

09/19/06, 11:30 PM

My roommate bought the SOAP soundtrack album (so I obviously ripped it when he was gone) and
the songs are all crappy slow bad techno remixes of songs that were once half decent.

NOTE: I'm not considering Fall Out Boy or Panic! as half-decent bands

It is a disgrace to the movie. Baring Gnarles Barkley and the Score I hate everything on it. I liked everything about the movie except the soundtrack. SoaP deserved much better.

/and a ska forum would be splendid

I agree not enough love for the ska on this site , minus Streetlight but Im not really a fan of them I'm afraid . But yeah we need a real Ska Forum ..to talk about all things ska mostly why The Mighty Mighty Bosstones should come out of hiatus but for other reasons as well .

I was wondering why there wasn't one when I signed up for this site.

Mephiskapheles, Dave Hillyard Rocksteady 7, the Specials, Big D and the Kids Table, I don't understand how people can not like ska.

much love, some of the best instrumental ska round

Even though there's not a lot of love for ska around this site, we all have to give props to Brandon Allin for keeping at the top of his game and getting butthordes of good ska news on the main page.

I posted a link to the Hopskotch video in a different thread a while back. I used to love going to watch Farse, infact there were some decent bands in the UK ska scene at the start of the millenium.

Have you heard Beat Union, They've got the bassist from Farse in them now.

They are a well good band not Ska but you can tell the ska referances are there.

A bit like Rancid mexed with the clash I would say

A ska forum would be awesome. I live in Tennessee, so I have to look hard for people to talk to who love ska as much as I do...or even know about it. Most of the time, if they have heard of ska, all they do is spout that "Ska is dead" shit.

Nope...not heard of them mate, sound interesting though. Do you have a link?

The Link To Beat Union's Site is www.myspace.co\beatunion (http://www.myspace.co\beatunion)

They are writing/recording an album due out next year at the moment and it is being produced by the goldfinger vocalist.
