[QUOTE=comptonassrobert]Walking Away!!!!




Soo i need some help. I want to make the perfect ska mix for when im in the ska mood, so i can just pop that cd in and enjoy it the whole way through. I need about 12-15 more songs so any suggestions? So far "walking away" is going to be on there, "little bitch" by the ordinary boys, and a few others. :)[/QUOTE]
I thought Little Bitch was the Specials.

Ahh [B]Kithkin[/B], you=the best ever.

And hmm, mine is labled as The Ordinary Boys. I don't know who it's originally by, but i know that Big D and the Kids Table did a cover of it.

It was on the Specials' self-titled album in 1979. Are the Ordinary Boys pre- or post-Specials?

The Ordinary Boys are a current band. They covered it. The Specials version is far superior.

Big D and the Kids Table has also covered. It's decent, but it can't touch the original.

Little bitch is my favourite Specials song. And I also enjoy Big D's version

So does a band called Bus Stop. Some technoish band. Its on one of the DDR mixes. 4th I think.

Mustard Plug does too

Yeah, I get that a lot:)

I saw them play it last night. I didn't even know they were gonna play cuz they weren't listed on my ticket, so that was a nice surprise (I wasn't expecting anything skankable). As soon as he said "This one's called Little Bitch" I screamed "Specials!" Oh, yeah, and there was a skin with 2tone braces and pair of Docs.....I was like O.O

Big D is pretty orgasmic, the only thing is, they're usually on the same bill as hard, crazy punk bands. Like the last time they came to Buffalo, they opened for the casualties and anti flag, so i had to put up with these insane and violent skinhead kids, but big d is totally worth it. And they're lyrics are funny and cool, not really immature but i do have to say, the like 600 F bombs in LAX is a little excessive.

If you wanna check out a cool local ska band: [URL=http://www.myspace.com/mechatama]Mechatama[/URL]

That's who I saw them with. I didn't know they were on the bill. I just went for Anti-Flag and was like "Huh? Big D's playing? Cool"

I'm seeing the Karmakanix next week. Anyone listen to them?

Bump.

To keep it spam free.... Im going to a ska show next weekend, and Im happy cause I can finally get the New Heatskores cd. Iv been waiting forever for this cd release party. But I hear the cd is more punk now. So I dont know, I'll have to listen.

The only thing coming near me anytime soon is Badfish: Tribute to Sublime.

In philly they brought SGR and the Distorted Penguins. Here they are bringing a Rage Against the Machine tribute band.

Guys I just thought some of you might be interested in this:

Howards Alias are splitting up.

"We have all decided that playing music as Howards Alias has, because of
circumstances stopped being fun a lot of the time, and is jeopardising
friendships in or outside the band. Therefore we have decided that Howards
Alias will soon cease to exist as a band. Both myself and Nick decided we
would like to tour one last time, not only to savour the taste of what has
been our lives for the past 5 years, but also to give something back to you,
the people that buy our music and come to watch us play live. The tour will
be in October. There are dates soon to be confirmed across October finishing
with a final Southampton show sometime in the first week of November." < Matt, from HA.

Big shame, they are a local band that made it big and I appreciate them a lot. However I don't think I'll be able to make it home for the last gig which is a shame. But I think I might be seeing them in about 2 weeks in London, with Adequate Seven and Captain Everything!, which will be an amazing show.

Haven't been to a show for awhile, but I may go to Hempstalk today and I'm definitely going to see Streetlight next week.

Tell your bands to stop breaking up and start coming to America.

I saw Reel Big Fish a couple of days ago. They were incredible.
