Am I the only one afraid that there will be a 4th wave of ska.

[royalfan5]

I just have this creeping feeling that in the near future people are going to bring back ska for no good reason, and subject society to a bunch of people who listened to their older siblings Reel Big Fish and Save Ferris cd's, and it terrifies me.

[crawfish]

I'm not, but I do know that love is the seventh wave.

[bri]

You will retract your statement about Save Ferris, and you will do it now, interloper!

;)

[proud gonzo]

dude--any band that has a song called "Beer" (especially if it's used in a movie by the south park guys) HAS to be cool

[bri]

Their cover of "Take On Me" from the aforementioned movie is sublimely breathtaking. :D

[proud gonzo]

and now it's playing in my head.... :D

Yeah in 1997.

Stop your fooling around
Time you straightened right out
Better think of your future
Else you'll wind up in jail...

[silverwheels]

The Backsteet Boys are back together, so of course a ska comeback is inevitable.


Not that I'm relating the two, but things go in cycles. Damn those Backstreet Boys.

I knew it was only a matter of time until somebody brought them up. They might be objectively the worst band ever.

What, lipstick lesbians?

The chick on the left isn't bad, but the one on the right is just weird-lookin'. Here's hoping she never has kids, 'cause if she does I'll bet they're just as ugly. And probably fat, too.

me rikee the specials.

going WAY back would be like the skatalites ya know.

[bri]

Going way WAY back would be like some cavemen who couldn't decide if they wanted to be a reggae or punk band. ;)

[King Crimson]

remember that episode of that show with Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari where Tom Hanks pretends to like reggae and szechaun food to try and get with that blond chick?

[bri]

Oh, the one with the wacky misunderstanding?

That one ruled.

Remember that one episode of The Young Ones where the guys were running around the streets, and they suddenly stopped and introduced Madness (who just happened to be standing on the sidewalk, instruments in hand), who promptly played "Our House"? Good times.

"It's my favorite program, Bastard Squad!"

[King Crimson]

what's better? hilarious misadventures or hijinx?

[bri]

I'm a hijinx man, myself.

Even though Hallie Berry almost destroyed my love of the word "jinx" as surely as she almost destroyed my love of the Bond franchise...

[King Crimson]

she's got that catwoman thing working against her too.

http://www.super-highway.net/users/altoot/meriwether4.jpg

[bri]

Yeah, she's had a busy couple of years crapping all over beloved franchises with her stultifying lack of talent.

[critical_phil]

on the other hand,

I really really want to harm you right now...just so you know :)

I'd hit it.

[SoonerInKCMO]

I was completely unaware that there have been three previous waves of Ska.

Dude, don't fight it. The truth will set you free.

SHE IS THE HOTNESS YOU BASTAGE!

[bri]

Did I say she wasn't hot? No, I didn't.

I merely said that she's a horrific actress who almost singlehandedly killed TWO decades-long franchises. Which she is, and she did.

[bri]

Yes, and I hate her with the firey intensity of a million suns.

[Scott D]

Only Cameron Diaz can make a fake simulated lesbian scene boring... :D

That's far worse than being poorly directed :)

[bri]

Cameron Diaz is a braying, talentless skank who makes me long for the sweet release of death every time I'm forced to watch her for even a few minutes.

Plus, not hot at all. Unless your idea of "hot" is "ugly".

Besides music. Come on, gonzo! Rock yo body! :D

no thanks. I might rock his face with my fist though :D

Why do you hate America, gonzo?

[Scott D]

Cry Me A River pwnz you...STALKER SONGS FOR LIFE!

oh man, if you haven't seen this already you've gotta watch it. it's the video of when Jon Stewart was the guest on Crossfire. it's AWESOME.

I can go back to my show and be funny, but you're still gonna be an *******!

That was brutal. And beautiful.

this thread took a turn...

Halle Berry will always be the crackhead trying to take Jessica Lange's baby :P

i didn't like her in that movie where she showed her boobs to Wolverine either

[silverwheels]

Hey, at least there were boobs.

[yermom]

boobs can only do so much

[silverwheels]

Well, that's the only part of the movie I like. The rest sucks.

[Frozen Sooner]

stay on target...stay on target...

I like ska. I mean, I don't listen every day, but I happen to like Less than Jake, Reel Big Fish, and Save Ferris.

[bri]

Look, just cause you couldn't show up before the thread-jack doesn't mean you can try and singlehandedly steer us back on topic, Nanook. ;)

[yermom]

does Sublime count as Ska? i really like them

the only Save Ferris song i know is Come on Eileen

i think of Clerks every time i type that :D

[royalfan5]

Many people count Sublime as Ska. My beef is not with Ska itself, in fact, I like some ska, but I just don't think we need more of it. I am just afraid people with the ability ot play horns will start joining bands again.

...they did a cover of dexy's midnight runners?

[bri]

Yes, and it was AWESOME.

I like "Mistaken", myself. I don't know why, but I love that song.

[yermom]

yeah, i think it might have been for a movie or something?

i like the Cheap Trick cover by Letters To Cleo as well

[bri]

LTC also did a good cover of Nick Lowe's "Cruel To Be Kind" in that movie, too.

Any time it's on the telly, I'll leave it on in the background 'cause the soundtrack's so good. Save Ferris, Letter To Cleo, Semisonic...

[GrapevineSooner]

So we're three pages into a thread about ska and not one word mentioned about the Bosstones.

Unbelievable. I mean if Dicky Barrett were reading this thread, he'd throat punch the whole lot of you.

[Frozen Sooner]

One of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones is from Fairbanks, AK.

[the_ouskull]

Sweet. I bet he's friends with the other two people from there... :D

[royalfan5]

So I started looking for Less than Jake videos on youtube and I remember this thread. Also the Aquabats ruled.

[SicEmBaylor]

I heard some Reel Big Fish for the first time the other day and kind of liked it.

How long ago were they popular and does this confirm the "10 year" rule?

[royalfan5]

They had their first hit circa96/97 with Sell Out. Their second album came out fall of 98.

Blink ruled until the kicked Scott Raynor out and everybody started liking them. Chesire Cat RMFO

[apusooner]

i don't particularly like ska, but it would give me work most likely. i need work. i wish there were more bands like brian setzer and his swing album. or tower of power. even EWF, which i was supposed to see tonight but it was sold out, which i then walked across the street to see robert randolph but it was sold out too. dammit. stupid NAMM show people handing out too many free passes.

[def_lazer_fc]

as long as dave matthews band doesnt score another hit, i'll be fine. **** is blander than hootie and the blowfish. oh, and im still waiting for someone to murder hinder. please. anybody?
