Did anyone mention The Toasters, Skankin’ Pickle or The Scofflaws?
Mike Park is still running Asian Man Records out of his parents garage!

Asian Man Records is the bomb.

To summarise

Ska=good

Ska-Punk = shite

But does Operation Ivy count as Ska Punk? because they were THE SHIT as opposed to shite.

Hard disagree!

and what about ska beer (ska brewery). pretty good, too IMO.

Here in them hills of East TN, we don't get much ska. But for some reason I always had loved the song Royal Oil. I like the way this thread is going btw.

Maybe you’re right and this will sell out. In which case the predictions for Bone Machine are against what works for the company. The 90s albums will be Simply Red - Stars and Hootie & The Blowfish - Cracked Rear View. Both of which are fine btw but nothing to set my pulse racing

Other random guesses Skunk Anansie - The Verve (an earlier release not Urban Hymns) Wu Tang and randomly Shed Seven

My wife was a big fan when she was in Uni (mid 90s) and also a friend. So as a result I’ve actually seen them live - 2018 Castlefield Bowl Mcr. Supported byReverend and the makers if I recall correctly.

mmmmm, in regards to paying full price, that would depend honestly on what the pressing details for this VMP exclusive are! If Continuum has impressive remastering details and is like 45RPM too, then I guess I might be inclined to pay the full price

But yeah, getting this record for free definitely makes it easier to keep! I mean, I could swap it for something else, but I'd rather this John Mayer album than anything in the VMP store I haven't purchased (except for the Whitney Houston boxset)!

Happy that I'll have this John Mayer album and can't to spin the VMP David Gray exclusive, which is on the way to me! They're both a bit challenging listens for me personally but I genuinely do enjoy the music on them both for the most part!

David Gray being White Ladder I assume. Surprised that is a struggle for u - I know that album very well and always fell into the very easy listening category for me.

Rid of Me reissue just announced (slightly off topic)

They do say "pick it up" a lot, therefore shit.

Just kidding I love them and they do count.

May or may not be off topic - we don't know yet!

It's pretty neat that Tim Armstrong has been involved in three bands I like

I booked Skankin' Pickle at the bar I worked at in college just based on the name alone. I wasn't disappointed. This was in Riverside, CA - No Doubt used to get themselves added as an opening band all the time as well, back in their ska days.

About time for some Google Ads to start appearing, isn't it? They've never been able to time this right despite it being VERY easy to set up an ad schedule for those sorts of things.

Yep, saw them at The Roadmender.

Anyone else a "3 for the price of 2" subscriber and still see their next 3-month payment as $54, to be charged on 7/1? I'm curious if this is a glitch and is going to update or just a lucky error lol

With VMP it's best for your mental health to just assume you're about to get screwed.

I had the same a month ago and sadly it resolved itself in time for the charge
