Ska (original) (raw)

name?

age? 17

sex? rude boy (like that one?)

type of ska applying for? um... what? all of it? except skacore.

favorite bands? i hate doing this. um... no sports, specials, robustos, slackers, toasters, selecter, skatalites, melodians, roland alphonso, jimmy cliff, toots and the maytals, symarip, undercover s.k.a. ... on and on and on...

tell me why you think you can roll with the "ska kids" or "rudies" what have you? because i am one bitch! hahahaha. uh if you were looking for a serious answer here... don't look for one. but yeah i would say that i am one and know shit and could talk and dance and hang out all day with a ska crowd. too bad there is none on athens.

this is my impression of Walt Jabsco:

Best show you've been to? The Toasters. they finished their set, and me and my buddy stared chanting "TWO TONE ARMY! TWO TONE ARMY! ..." and got the whole crowd doing it. well the toasters came on for an ecnore opening it up with "two tone army". everyone got on the stage and skanked. along with my buddy and i. it took all my strength to finish the song. it was fucking awesome.

List three bands that would make the show of your dreams: JUST 3? what the HELL is wrong with you people? well if i HAD to pick just 3... hmm...
-skatalites
-specials
-pietasters (sorry toasters. i know you were there first, but i've seen you already)

Why do you think Ska is dead? it isn't dead. but it is looking grim. thanks to shitty ass skacore bands who don't stick to their roots and still call themselves ska bands. i thank the slackers and pietasters and toasters for keepin' it real though. keepin it alive. keep it up.
