If BOTAR got back together I would breed some kind of screaming albino gorilla to shout from the rooftops to express my rekindled love. 'TOM! TOM! TOM!'

Absolutely no reason for him to be there or even touch anyone. Sounds like a bad bouncer to me. I've only worked the pit once since I joined the venue where I work. They usually have me working backstage access areas so I must be a "people person."

BetterWeirdthanDead posted:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fiveironfrenzy/new-five-iron-frenzy-album I made the mistake of reading about the success of the Kickstarter around the net though, where I found a lot of resentment about how they're hypocrites for not donating all the money to charity-- which is literally against Kickstarter's TOS and not the point of Kickstarter at all. I dunno I thought it was weird. But who cares. They're back and that's all I care about.

You do lose up to ten percent of what you earn to fees from Kickstarter and Amazon's credit card processing fees.

Sounds like a good ice breaker for a new ska thread? This one has been around since '07(!) and it's a little bit intimidating wanting to talk about, I dunno ASOB or something when there has probably been extensive discussion on them 2000 posts ago. RE; 'getting moshed in the skank pit', I hate that and have definitely noticed at Streetlight the last couple of times, but good news is there's always space at lovely local bands!

Why do we need a new thread, it's not like there's a bold new change in ska. Besides, it's kinda nice having a 100 page thread that's the same ten people posting constantly.

I could just off my DAW and try to reboot The Pilfers attempt at creating Skungle. That'd be innovative, right?

You still cannot buy a Pilfers album at any of the major online music retailers, at least in the US. I almost never buy physical CDs anymore, but even if I did, of course no one has theirs. I still have no idea what the Pilfers sound like.

The only album that's available in the US is the frontman's spinoff band, "Dad Mom God". It has the same intensity of the main band but it's a lot more raw, with a much smaller lineup. They also have some re-recordings of past TSPO material. It's not really the same to be honest. I'd prefer the actual band. The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 10:45 on Jan 14, 2012 |

Wow that sucks. I bought a couple albums there when they still had them (though they've never had Full Tension Beaters  ). I hate the loving record industry. LET ME GIVE YOU MY MONEY.

I just wish I had more to say about how good ska is v  vMaybe i'll just complain how perfect Everything Goes Numb/Catch 22's recording of Keasbey Nights are and how Tom shouldn't have even made them if whatever else he releases isn't up to that grotesquely high standard.

Can't really find any info newer than Nov 2011 though... e: Steve mentioned more shows in Spring/Summer of this year on his Twitter. I feel like a creepy stalker right about now for checking!

I was lucky enough to work for a college station that still had its ska CDs (which I rescued from being sold) and had a lot of the third wave CDs I wanted but was previously unable to find.

No such luck with the Pilfers, but if you hurry up you can get a vinyl reissue of their first album: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/59430281/the-3rd-wave-ska-preservation-society-vinyl-reissu Other vinyls they're releasing: Suburban Legends - Rumpshaker Edna's Goldfish - Before You Knew Better Pietasters - Oolooloo
