Tells us Again About your Swank Tunes - Page 3

Hehehehehe. I LOVE that someone else still listens to "brother can you spare some ska"!!!

I used to be into the third wave scene in the late nineties. (Not that I don't love bands like the Specials and Madness etc.... I can still listen to the two tone collection for days...) I loved Let's Go Bowling, hepcat, etc. I miss The Hippos, old Reel Big Fish too. Oh and Mealticket!! The trombone player used to sub sometimes at my high school and the days he was there he was like ska royalty to those who knew. I had him as my sub and I was like holy bloody hell batman, your band is so awesome. Damn, I even miss the Aquabats. (They still play and all but I just can't get into them the way I used to love them.) I had the mask and everything and would wear it to shows. The old days for me consisted of skankin' and the ska parade and so many hawaiian shirts. (I still have some of the best hawaiian shirts with like naked surfers on them. Even my son loves hawaiian shirts now.)

Oh and Shonen Knife... How I do love broken english rock songs about tomatoes and such... Or even better... Cibo Matto. Very cool.

The only new cd I have picked up is the latest Broken Social Scene. They were so good Monday night. So was Feist.

I now have Super Rad in my head. This might take days to cure.

How do you pronounce Sufjan? I sat suf-jan. Is that right? Soof-jan? Suf-i-an?

You know you are old when third wave ska is old skool.

Of course, I'm too young for the 1st wave stuff - although I listened to my share of Desmond Decker. But I was all about Madness, Selector, Specials, The Beat, Bodysnatchers and others crossed over into the Mod scene as well. I saw all of these band in the early 80's except The Specials. I'm not sure how I missed them. Madness was at the Whisky and The Go Go's (with a hefty Belinda) opened for them. Ahhhh youth.

Wish I could say I've been buying a lot of music, but I simply havent. My most recent purchases have been stuff I've mentioned already...

I'm simply enjoying what I have at the moment.

On my iPod is currently Etta James - "I'd Rather Go Blind"

Gotta love it!

Not to brag (I swear!!) but my mom and uncle are actually friends with Etta James. They went to her son's wedding a few months ago. She loves to use my uncle as her bus driver. They told me she is really,really nice. And really funny! I have yet to see her though...

It always seems like I miss the chance because I have other plans.

I tunes doesn't have sinister dexter! Bad iTunes. (edit: they do now!)

I think you'd like the MIA album. It's a lot of fun and would be great workout music if I worked out.

Of the Shankar spawn, I think I still prefer Nora Jones over Anushka Shankar. I'm not sure why she hasn't appealed to me but I haven't "gotten" her yet.

What's even funnier is that I get her and Bebel Gilberto confused.

I haven't taken the Moulin Rouge soundtrack out of my car CD for over a week. I've been playing the Roxanne Tango on super loud as I swerve down the street. I'm going to get in big trouble very soon.

I like Barry Manilow...

I've been listening to Madonna's new album for the past few weeks.
Can't wait to buy it on Tuesday!
