"Ska Sucks" - Propagandhi

by Max on Mon 18 Aug 2008 12:26 PM PDT | Permanent Link

When I first heard this song on Fungus (XM 53), I just cracked up. The "F**K YOU RUDY!" line had me absolutely rolling.

I don't necessarily agree with the sentiments expressed in the tune, but I will admit that I only like ska in small doses. It keeps coming in "waves" - what, they're saying the "fourth wave" is on its way? Well geez, maybe if the genre wasn't so one-dimensional and had some real staying power it wouldn't have to come in "waves." I mean, have you noticed that every time ska becomes "cool", it doesn't stay cool for very long?

Sure, I can listen to an entire Toasters CD, or some old Aquabats or Let's Go Bowling. But generally not consecutively. I usually like to follow it up with some Anthrax or something. Of course, I don't think I can listen to thrash metal for extended time periods either, but that's a debate for another day...

Introduction

Some of my online cohorts at the Songfight community decided to create blogs to highlight songs they like. I am now doing it as well, because I am a total lemming.

Songfight is a weekly songwriting competition based on titles provided by the site's administrators. I post there under the handle "Albatross." Go check it out. It's a gas.
