FUN!! Like ska is 'sposed to be. I don't dance (not true...
I'll slow dance for HOURS), but when I have been to ska
shows, the bands generally make that statement a bald-faced
lie. I've even been up on dance floors dancing by myself.
.
Used to go see a band outside of Philly called "Ruder Than
You" (LOVE that name). Fun... this band reminds me of them
in those days. Looked them up on YouTube recently and they
have degenerated into a fusion of very sloppy hiphop and
reggae. So disappointing.
.
One of my co-workers is a bass player in a ska band and
they're looking for a new name (I keep forgetting what it is
now, but it clashes with an already-claimed name in some other
region -- and apparently my friend's band has a shot at more
exposure). Considering they're out of Tucson, Monday I'm going
to suggest "Meskal" (mescal is the infamous cactus liquor with
the worm).
.
It's true, you know. Eating the worm (but only AFTER drinking
down the whole bottle yourself) DOES reveal to you the very
meanings of life. It's just that you forget them by the time
you wake up in the morning. Heck, I've had mescal mornings
where I wake up having forgotten every freakin' single thing
I've ever known.
.
C'mon. Follow me. I triple-dog-dare ya.
