Tells us Again About your Swank Tunes

mmmm ska.

The band NA is referring to is Suburban Legends. They rock.

All the bands I used to listen to are pretty much dead - came and went during the mid-nineties. The Hippos, Save Ferris, Reel Big Fish - their later albums lost the ska sound and became mainstream, but I still love their earlier stuff.

The best though was the random cheap-o ska compilations you'd get at shows. "Hey Brother Can You Spare Some Ska" still gets heavy rotation on my iPod. Good stuff. Once you pick up a comp that works for you you can seek out the bands that are featured on it...

Tee hee. Ah, how that takes me back. Ska was at it's peak when I was in high school. Sort of makes me want to skank...

As for music, I rarely buy stuff. I listen to most stuff I like on launchcast. Right now it's permanently set to Sufjan Stevens. Which, conveniently enough plays lots of other artists I like too. I've been wanting the Lost In Translation soundtrack, as I'm unfamiliar with that sort of music, but I love it in the movie. There also doesn't seem to be a Bollywood station on launchcast...

I'm thinking of checking out that new album from Anoushka Shankar, Rise.

I also am thinking of downloading the whole album from M.I.A off iTunes. She's a Brit/Sri Lankan rapper. I got the free download, Galang, and it rocks. It's actually being used for a car commercial now.

And everyone needs to check out Sinister Dexter!
