Volt Catfish posted:I actually feel bad for liking Cheer Up because I know they were pretty much forced to record it and they hated it. Maybe Cheer Up isn't to everyone's taste, but it felt like a natural progression from Why Do They Rock So Hard and every album since has been a step backwards. I don't know if there is a term for selling out in the opposite direction, but they've been super shallow and pandering and it's just not interesting to me. I dunno, I'm into ska revivial music mostly now (Westbound Train, NYSJE, PASO, The Beatdown) so maybe I'm not impartial anymore.

I have noticed a very unsettling trend of tours I want to see skipping a WI date. Very excited for this album though.

Ha, my friend and I were just talking about how the last time Kalnoky actually put out new material was back when we were in high school. I'm so loving excited, I'm going to go to the Northampton and the Boston shows

After selecting the "Ska" category in SongPop, I realized how it's entirely first wave and two-tone ska songs, and how horribly uneducated I am about anything outside of third-wave. Trying to rectify this via Youtube

Dodecalypse posted:It'll just be covers of their older songs. It's called "The Hands That Thieve" because all they do is steal material for covers. But no really, I'm super stoked. They also say they'll be playing both new and old material at all of the shows, and clips of new songs will be posted on their various social media poo poo, website, etc.

There's also the Pressure Drop Soundcast if that's still going, which plays a lot of traditional music.

My suggestion for exploring 2-Tone is to pick up a box set compilation. Despite a number of repeated tracks across the disks, I would recommend a compilation called "Ska'd For Life." I found it for $10 at a local record store but it can be found on Amazon and probably other places too. That's how I first got introduced to Bad Manners. Also, I'm picking up tickets for Streetlight's Lancaster show as soon as they post purchasing info.

The last time I saw Streetlight they played my old school's spring festival and got thrown off stage by campus police after 4 songs. Holy poo poo, that was 3 and a half years ago.

Maybe Streetlight just has problems behaving at college shows. They played at my school about two years ago and while they didn't get kicked off the stage by the police, Tomas did spend the entire show acting like it was the last place he wanted to be. It seemed like all of his stage banter was just trying to piss off the crowd. I don't know what was up with that. I'm hoping that the attitude is different for this tour. I may get stoned for this, and maybe I'm just a snob, but out of all the ska shows I've been too Streetlight was my least favorite, but they're good enough to get a second chance from me.

Decided to cancel my Spotify account and use some of the iTunes credit I've accumulated over the years and never used. Now I'm up to my ears in Bim Skala Bim, Pietasters, The Allstonians, Deal's Gone Bad, The Slackers, The Selecter, and Hepcat. So good. All of it. And I just discovered The Allstonians played in my town last night and I missed it.

Anyone else head to the BTMI! shows in Los Angeles and Pomona? They were tons of fun, some of the best shows I've been to - gently caress the haters who said their shows weren't a loving blast. Talked to Jeff after the show, and asked him if the break from touring also meant they were going to stop making new music. He said, "We don't really know yet. We're just going to take a break for a while, and see how we feel after that." So it looks like 80s-50s might be the last BTMI song.

How come "So Much For Rock And Roll" has never made it to an RBF studio album? It's on the live album and it's awesome.

Hah, a new Streetlight album. Next you'll be telling me there will be a Man Bites Dog album. In other news, it probably got discussed but The Aquabats! Super Show has found a distributor for home video release, and hopefully good sales of that will lead to an album for the show. Edit: guppy posted:How come "So Much For Rock And Roll" has never made it to an RBF studio album? It's on the live album and it's awesome. In the commentary for the DVD Aaron discusses about how making this live album (and editing in the studio some) was a way for them to reclaim their songs from their previous label at the time. Because of that extra work in the studio he probably considers it good enough to not need a studio version. Of course that was all before A Best Of Us For The Rest Of Us came out, so take that with a grain of salt.

Also there are like four other ska bands in town, seriously check that poo poo out.
