Unsteady - "Kalinda" SKAuthentic 1996 Third Wave Ska / Ska Revival
A lot of ska gets a bad rap—as it should—but when the goofiness gets stripped out of it, you can be left with some pretty sweet grooves. And this mid-90s tune from San Diego's Unsteady is a good example. "Kalinda" appears on both the band's second album, Tightrope, as well as a comp called SKAuthentic, which gathered together a bunch of songs from modern bands who were channeling and reviving ska's original mid-60s Jamaican wave.

"HELLO, I'M TERRY, AND I'M GOING TO ENJOY MYSELF FIRST..."
PIC INFO: Spotlight on English 2 tone and ska revival band THE SPECIALS, performing live, venue & location unknown, c. late '70s/early '80s. 📸: Virginia Turbett.
"Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think, Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink, The years go by, as quickly as you wink, Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think,
Hello, I'm Terry, and I'm going to enjoy myself first.
It's good to be wise when you're young, 'cause you can only be young but the once, Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun, So glad and live life longer than you've ever done."
-- "Enjoy Yourself" (1980) by THE SPECIALS (a cover of 1949's "Enjoy Yourself (It's later than You Think)" by Carl Sigman, with lyrics by Herb Magidson)

ross’ smartypants rant was very satisfying as someone whose teenage self had exactly one party trick and it was teaching people how to charleston

''At the time it was a bummer to see the PNW scene sullied by its exposure to the rest of America. I mean Kurt hated it so much because he lost his home which were his bearings from which he looked out at the world. Corporations only have one thing in mind and it ain`t art. So he struggled as he circled the drain. I think his idealism and youth got him. It was tragic. Musically some of the music had ass and fighting spirit so I liked that. We played with a lot of those bands coming up especially in Seattle (like at Washington Hall and the Central Tavern) and Portland (Satyricon) and the scene in its early days was more amorphous and accepting as far as genres were concerned. I definitely was trying to provoke from inside. We had tatted up tough flapper chicks that would dance on stage then stage dive into the audience. We were trying to say there is not only one way to do this. But as usual we were too strange. We did make it into Singles as a visual joke, however.''- Steve Perry, Cherry Poppin' Daddies.
