I know this kind of thing takes a fair amount of time & effort and is a labor of love. I toyed with the idea of blogging, but never got into it, but served my time doing 10yrs of community/university radio and I wish I had the access to quite a bit of the info/tunes being graciously shared by dedicated people like you :) Cheers, M.Mark L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08568334531288543651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711627321329058042.post-27519760015094024522018-01-01T03:34:48.745-08:002018-01-01T03:34:48.745-08:00Happy anniversary Jason!

Something I have the LPs of, but never could get a quality rip of. <br /><br />I can't tell you how many albums I tried to track down because of this blog. Far too many to count.Talk The Skanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711627321329058042.post-13770742626579008132017-12-28T18:44:54.079-08:002017-12-28T18:44:54.079-08:00Harder than you:

I have discovered some incredible gems over the last ten years and I have a list a mile long of things I don't have yet but the one thing I have learned is that, no matter how much I know about, there are so many gems that I've never even heard about yet. It's constant that I am stumbling across a band I never knew about. Not just ska bands but new wave and punk bands who the the occasional(or the one-off) ska songs. A few years back I started putting together a compilation of rare California ska from the 2-Tone era and, so far, I'm up to 80 songs.<br /><br />I hear what you're saying about Midwest bands. Just like there's a "California sound" I think there's also a distinct "Midwest sound". I'll see what I can find you from that time in history.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />WDM:<br />Happy New Year to you too! To be honest I really can't see this blog existing in 2027 but, like I mentioned, I didn't expect to make it this far. I'm just going to keep on going. Nobody knows when it will end.<br /><br /><br /><br />Goodie:<br />I gave up on ska around 1998 (give or take a year) and I didn't start getting back into again until around 2005. I was going through some old cds and I put on The Scofflaws Record of Convictions. "In the Basement" came on and I thought "this is way better than I remembered" and I started listening to ska more often to the point I was asking friends if they had any of their old ska music. It took off from there. I thought it would be great to re-assemble my old collection but I didn't know much about eBay or blogs (or computers in general) so I thought it would be nearly impossible. I'm happy to say that I now have nearly every single thing I used to have but I also have a million times more. If there's anything you are having a hard time replacing from your past, (or something you want from my old posts with a dead link) let me know. If I don't already have it I will eventually and I'll make sure you get to hear it again.<br /><br />File sharing doesn't keep people from buying music. It encourages people to buy music. It's like books. What best-selling author didn't get to where they are because their earlier works were passed around by people who took a gamble on a book or were just something that somebody checked out at a library? Libraries create best-selling authors the way that people sharing music encourages people to buy music. You're an example of this. In the eighties we would buy blank tapes and record music from the radio. We recorded Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Wham!, The Police, Culture Club, etc. - we got the music for free. But who were the biggest sellers in the 80s? Those same bands. <br /><br />Simmertones are a great band that people need to pay attention to. TooHot released three albums and two EPs. I have all of it. I'll try to post it this weekend. If I don't get around to it email me and I'll send you the links.<br /><br /><br />Rude Rich:<br />¡Gracias! Creo que si hubiera una sociedad secreta de los Sabios del ska estaría ahí contigo en los primeros diez. Has contribuido tanto a mi colección que conseguí gastar mi dinero en viejos records. ¡Mantengamos este tren de ska rodando!<br /> Tone and Wavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628067982991082419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711627321329058042.post-27585661311537514732017-12-28T16:00:09.285-08:002017-12-28T16:00:09.285-08:00Muchas gracias por estos 10 años de música,Muchas gracias por estos 10 años de música,Rude Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16255700929759815920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711627321329058042.post-27683230996396207992017-12-28T06:13:33.550-08:002017-12-28T06:13:33.550-08:00hi

There were quite a few of them around that I kinda remember seeing...it was blurry then too lol. I'd also like to see more obscure 2-Tone era bands. Sorry I can't be more specific.HarderThanYouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264883146846755823noreply@blogger.com
