#I need my ska

[womb-complex]

Oh god I was listening to some bedroom pop and like soft indie stuff oh boy now I remember why I despise that genre

if you dont mind sharing, what are some of your favorite ska songs/bands?

I will admit I am not a huge band person I tend to be more of a "pick whatever random songs sound good" person, so I can't recommend any good bands. I also listen to Ska Punk, which is a subgenre of Ska... and Punk. So I am not a good authority on Ska songs to listen to I am just someone who is banned from being passed the aux cord...

But some of my favorite songs include:

No Children - Ska (cover)

Quinto Patio Ska

Everything Went Numb

S F D D

And songs by Reel Big Fish tbh. I know I just said I don't listen to specific bands but Reel Big Fish has some pretty good songs like...

Sell Out

And their Take on Me cover

Here's my disclaimer, though: I am not into music subcultures I just listen to whatever sounds good (and jazzy punk with horns sounds good), so I could be giving absolutely awful music recommendations that anyone who is especially into Ska (and more specifically Ska Punk) might find egregious. I personally just grab whatever song sounds good and add them to my forever long playlist.

Also the Jabberjaw (Running Underwater) song from Pain used for the Cartoon Network Boomerang Groovies is probably the reason I enjoy Ska punk so much, and it has been in my playlist for years now:

If nothing else in this list interests you, I require everyone by law to listen to Jabberjaw Running Under Water by pain and watch the Cartoon Network Boomerang Groovie video of it. I used to watch Boomerang a million times, and this was probably the only Groovie I really enjoyed watching and didn't go to the bathroom during.

I had a dream with a song in it that went:

Past the Pink Pony Club And through the Warpigs roaming wild, Only one genre of music Separates the demon from the inner child and THAT IS SKA MOTHERFUCKER [aggressive ska music]

Bro, taking figure skating lessons for about 2.5 ish years, was probably the biggest improvement to my life, ever.

Like I was so clumsy before, and I would knock stuff over all the time, which gave me really good reflexes but since I was so clumsy it usually didn't help.

But now, I have literally caught stuff with the side of my foot while sitting in a chair. I almost never fall over, and when I do, I know how to do it and not get hurt. (Minus the one time I launched myself into a wall head first)

And now I can sort of do a few single jumps and some halves too, I can pivot forward and back on one foot in almost any direction. I can also raise my leg straight above 90 degrees and do a basic catch spiral.

I definitely am not going to be competing any time soon, especially considering that I haven't skated in months, much less taken lessons in nearly two years. (I wasn't flexible enough to do ten spirals on alternate turning edges, I could get my leg high enough but I only had like 2 seconds to do so before I had to switch legs, and I didn't have enough power to do larger turns since you only get one push.) I also should have failed the salchow jump as I couldn't get the timing right and wasn't even doing the blade Part of the blade jump. But I also missed 2 weeks before my exam because I had covid, so idk.

But anyway, the amount of stuff I use my feet for, flushing the toilet, opening low drawers, picking stuff up, it is so nice to have balance now. And the best part I got to keep my reflexes, so now I have good balance and have reflexes, though my hands are still pretty clumsy.

Honestly, I would recommend anyone try some ice-skating lessons, even just so that they can skate comfortably and not worry about falling every two seconds. Though I am a wisconsinite so I have no Idea how common ice rinks are around the world, here most modest size schools have either an ice rink that is considered "on campus" but is closer to the rest of the town, or there is one more by the general sports stuff, we probably have more ice rinks than roller skating rinks.

whats the song youve been listening too?

with any sort of certainty by streetlight manifesto, they played close by last night which reminded me that the song 1 exists and 2 goes So hard

[bloomfish]

honestly my explorations through spotify are so wild sometime. now i've somehow landed on corsican reggae

[neetpunk]

Okay so I have 3 ideas on ways to decorate my cane, a frog theme, a clown theme, and a ska theme. Here are my ideas.

I want some input so I'll make a poll for people to vote on their favorite idea!

also we've reached the point of post-eurovision depression where i'm having esc dreams; last night i dreamt it was the grand final and luke black had decided to change things up after the semi, so he had a more upbeat version of samo mi se spava that i can only describe as a ska (ska-punk? two-tone? idk i had to go on wikipedia to figure this out) remix. an odd creative choice but it seemed to work for the audience so idk, maybe ska is gonna be the next big thing at esc.

[wowowwild]

idk can't get the image of Apollo ska phase out of my head
