This is one of my very favourite songs ever recorded... there's something particular about semi-mournful ska with that strong one-drop beat, and the horn chords just give you goosebumps, and ...

It's not one of their most popular songs, but this is, I think, probably the best track on the album (Let's Face It, it's called -- remember 1998, when ska was mainstream cool and the Bosstones were on MTV for a minute?)...

Gah. There are few things quite as cool as the Bosstones. Or just music in general. This feeling recalls a review from the Skatalites' online biography...

The hottest Ska group in town is the Ska-talites. Last Sunday at Bournemouth was the likes of which you've never seen, with grown men prostrate at the tuffness of the sounds."

*sighs* One fandom might write your software, but my other fandom skips in place and has this weird fascination with Jamaica and brass instruments.


'nuffa that! There are about a billion things to do today, so I'm off to get them all done! Hut!!

(and everybody's coming to the The Slackers show coming up soon, at the very least, right? :) )
