Everytime I hear the word "Ska," Goldfinger's Superman starts playing and suddenly I'm playing THPS.

For anyone that loved that game back in the day the 1+2 remake is awesome.

You may, if I can counter with Kryptonite (Reloaded) by Jeris Johnson for when you really want the inlaws to question their precious little girl's decision making.

For those who havent heard of the Mad Caddies, everyone ive ever played the song Backyard for has liked it. Theyve got a bunch of great tunes. Check em out you wont be dissapointed.

I just listened to it. Don't get me wrong, at an open air concert in summer with a beer in my hand, I'd sway to it and have a good time. But in general, it's a bit too boring and lukewarm for me.

I like it a bit dirtier:

I just listened to that on a pair of Bose Quietcomfort after a bottle of Plan de Dieu and it was one of the best things I've ever heard

I haven't yet, because I'm sure it isn't good

But I know someone who has, which makes me wonder if I could

Streetlight Manifesto is by far my favourite ska punk band, closely followed by The Arrogant Sons of Bitches. I'm a sucker for brass, heh.

If you don't mind lyrics in French, give a listen to the older albums from "la ruda salska" , since renamed to just "la ruda" I think.

Sorry, you just reminded me of one of my favorite jokes:

Actual Jamaican ska doesn't have to be super fast and often isn't.

Here's Demond Dekker with his biggest hit, The Israelites. He was actually known as the 'King of Ska.'

my introduction to ska.

Because of this movie I believed it was actually called "Jamaica Ska" for a number of years.
