Ska-Boom!

It seems every time I have some money saved up to get a new computer my car somehow finds out about it and decides to break down so I still haven't been able to get a new computer yet - I'm hoping I will in the next 2 weeks. I am able to use a computer every now and then, but I can't rip my vinyls or use my scanner just yet.

However I did recieve an email today from your friend and mine Rikard who spent a good deal of his time ripping not only the Ska-Boom album "Lost in Ska", but all three of their singles as well.



The album in this download is the original 11 track from 1990 though the cover pictured here is from the 1991 re-release that included all 3 tracks from the "More Tea Vicar?" single. The cover of the original didn't have the yellow writing or the speech bubble.

Here they are performing "What Did I Do" in 1990. Rikard also posted this on Youtube.

Tone and Wave mixtape vol.1

This is just a lot of random stuff I've been listening to lateley. Some of it's great and some of it's cheesy. You probably won't like it all.

About 3/4 of this stuff is from the 80s.

I could give you some information about all these songs but that's a lot of work. I could take the time, but I'm not gonna.

Just enjoy the music.

The Villains - Go Crazy & Life of Crime

There was an old vaudevillian joke that wasn't funny to begin with and can now be found in numerous joke books for kids that goes:

"I can show you something that has never been seen before and, after I show you, will never be seen again!"

At that point the comedian will either peel a banana or crack open a nut and then eat it.

I feel the same applies to this cassette I just bought. It is by the Villains. Their "Life of Crime" EP is well known as a classic ska contribution, but this "Go Crazy" album falls short in so many ways.



The cassette I just purchased was still sealed in its original shrink wrap from 1984. This particular tape was never heard by anyone ever. I bought it for $2.
I think that after hearing it you'll see why it shouldn't be heard ever again.

I'll be honest - there are a couple of good moments, but overall this is not the sort of recording that a band such as the Villains should have ever made.

Even still, being completely unplayed for 26 years the tape has developed a hiss problem that I cannot get rid of. To be honest - the album isn't good enough that you'll want to listen to it more than a time or two so the hiss shouldn't really be a problem.
I know this sounds like I'm making fun of the band, but I'm really not. I love the "Life of Crime" EP and I have included it in this download so that you can see the difference yourself.
