Heard about this via Laila K's (Sonic Boom Six) Twitter feed. Very sorry to hear about it, surprised it hasn't gotten more attention since it broke several hours ago. Get well Dave :(

I don't mean it a released music thing, just lots of awesome ska-happenings. Asian Man 15th featuring Slapstick's reunion, The FIF news, Mustard Plug 20th, the Hometown Throwdown line up, The Aquabats got their show. Just seems like a pretty sweet year.

I've now given the new Tomas several listens as well. In isolation, on its own, I like it a lot. I like the guitar work, I like Tomas' voice, and of course I like the songs. In context, it's been four years since Somewhere In The Between and I would really like some new material.

Last night at the Streetlight Manifesto/Reel Big Fish concert in Baltimore, Tomas said their new album is 90% done. I've been told not to get my hopes up too high, but 90% sounds pretty good to me.

This sounds horrible. There's no acoustic aesthetic to this music at all. It sounds like they took the master recordings from "Best of Us For the Rest of Us" and just replaced the guitar track with a different one, and muted the drum cymbals. This is so disingenuine it hurts.

I guess it's an easy way for them to make some more money without actually putting effort into making new material. I can't wait for the RBF Polka album that has the same exact tracklist.

All the proceeds from the Big D and the Kids Table auction will go to Big D vocalist Dave McWane, who was recently diagnosed with throat cancer. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from the other auctions will also go to Dave to help cover his treatment.

That's a pretty significant disclaimer! Only one of the auctions is for a Big D record, the other 18 records being auctioned are for other bands. I wonder just how much "a portion" is.

I don't think it's awful but it is really lazy and makes me lose even more faith in RBF. It makes me really sad because RBF were my favorite band for years :(

Most of the delay was on Victory's end. Like from the time that he posted the snippets on their site Victory changed the release date literally every week for five months. Skachilles was emailing some poor girl that works there every week about it.

I have been looking for some great Beef Jerky since my local convenience store changed owners.
So, the new Bosstones album has been on Spotify these past few days and I have to say. I am really digging it. The 6th is going to be a great day.

Especially "They Will Need Music" and "The Package Store Petition" goddamn these songs are great.

Friendly reminder, new Bosstones record out today. Besides physical copies, I know I got mine from Amazon MP3 and I assume it's available on iTunes too. I actually forgot all about it in the last day or two, but my Twitter feed this morning was full of retweets by the Bosstones' account, so it was hard to miss.

Settling in to listen now, though it will be broken up by times that I'm away from my desk and I'll want to give it a few spins before reporting back.

If anyone's in Chicago, Fishbone is playing at Bottom Lounge this Saturday. 9 PM, 18+, $20 for tickets. I saw them about a year ago and they're awesome live.

I never really was a fan of Five Iron Frenzy, but I'm really enjoying the new track, and actually really looking forward to the new album.

Edit: Hah, and my last post in this thread was about how I'd likely never own one of their albums.
