drunk asian neighbor posted:Just got back from working the RBF/Streetlight show. Just saw the show tonight In Poughkeepsie NY and it was by far the most amazing show I've been to. Really really hot in the Chance Theater though, felt like i was going to pass out before Streetlight even made it on stage. But when they went on the place was electric. got myself into the pit for their second to last song and that was a bad idea given the temperature, but in the brief moments when you weren't being jostled around there were plenty of ladies who pretty much said "gently caress it" and went topless in the pit... a small gift for standing the massive amounts of body heat. New Riot was fantastic, picked up a copy of their cd after the show and got to chatting with them. My guitarist went with me and started asking them questions like who their favorite football(soccer) team was and I asked the same retarded questions "So how do you like america!?!" Also have to agree about Rodeo Ruby Love... fuckin awful. Only difference was that they were the second opening band so you went from "Yeah New Riot is awesome!!!" to "wow this band is horrible... they got a tour with RBF and SM?" There was a section of the crowd that started chanting "Go Back To Indiana!" Perhaps they were just playing for the wrong crowd, followed and awesome act, or it wasn't their best night so I'll leave judgement for when I hear their stuff again but it was seriously lacking. They only got a few pity claps from the crowd and a loud applause when then got off the drat stage.

I had a similar experience when I saw Larry & His Flask/Terrible Things/Streetlight a couple months ago. LAHF killed it, got the crowd really nice and pumped and ready to move playing really energetic and all this cool unique stuff with vocal harmonies and loving Jeshua jumping into the crowd with his goddamn standup bass and holy poo poo they put on a great show. Then Terrible Things comes on and it's this really boring screamy pop-punk stuff that really just kinda turned the crowd off except for the dozen or so kids all wearing Terrible Things shirts that... left after they went offstage. Then of course Streetlight killed it and I got to give Jeshua from LAHF a big sweaty hug and chat with Matt Stewart for like 2 minutes about their first time coming to my little podunk excuse for a city for the first time and blah blah blah, now I wanna go see Streetlight again.

If anybody cares I'm in a new side project with Mike Costa (BTMI!'s non-iPod drummer) called Binary Heart. It's not ska... the electric stuff sounds like something in between the Smoking Popes and the Get Up Kids. http://binaryheartny.tumblr.com/ He just released an acoustic EP, and we have full band stuff coming out later this year.

With Vacation I liked it straight away and have listened to it every day since it's been released.

Just a [rather late] heads up to any Ska fans living in England... Folkstone's Skabour Festival is going ahead this coming weekend. Headlining Friday night is The Selecter and The Beat, joined over the weekend by loads of other great bands (mostly performing covers of other two-tone bands). Should be a good weekend, and is really cheap. Here's the site: http://folkestoneskabourfestival.co.uk/2011/ Who's with me?

Anyone who missed the Bosstones shows at Fenway is a horrible person. Scalpers were selling tickets at or below face value outside. And once the show started, the first 3 rows got swarmed so who cares where your ticket said you were sitting. My ticket was for 46 rows back but

Tonight I asked a scalper how much they were selling for on the walk up from Kenmore and he said face value. My buddy who bought his on StubHub 3 days ago was pissed cause he payed like $50 a ticket.

You can just start with Live From the Middle East, it's great and covers a lot of years.

Josh's suggestion is probably the best if you want one album that's a broad overview. The most famous studio album is Let's Face It, by a mile. All of the studio albums are pretty good.

Yeah start with the live album. Then just get the rest cause they're all great. Pay Attention if you want more mellow skacore sound, More Noise or Devil's Night Out if you want more faster harder skacore sounds.
