Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[gouis]

All this ska talk and no mention of the goddamn Aquabats!?

I love how their drummer in the late 90s was Travis Barker form Blink 182

Sorry to derail the ska talk, but it looks like the PJ Harvey website announced the Rid of Me reissues moments ago. IMO that pretty much confirms that Rid of Me will be one of the two 90s Essentials.

It's like Des'Ree for white dudes.

This needs to go in the N&G hall of fame!

I'm not sure about that. If they're reissuing it outside of VMP, why would a VMP version be Essentials worthy? More likely that it's a color variant that VMP overcharges for.

That’s the route that happened with Queens of the Stone Age, though.

Except VMP announced QOTSA first and used some wiggle language to sort of hide the fact that the regular reissues were coming soon.

You're right, and I wouldn't put it past them.

All this talk about ska, and I haven't seen anyone mention Let's Go Bowling or Bim Skala Bim yet! They were my top 2 of this music back in the day.

There is a chance it could also be a store exclusive if they do it

That wouldn't be the easy sub magnet they hope for when they do 3 month bombs of the essential comes the same month as the ROTM

Do we know what time the albums are announced today?

I think I noticed ska thanks to Tony Hawk Pro Skater as a kid. Which made me notice Superman by Goldfinger. Then RBF was used heavily in BASEketball. Less than Jake was on the radio, and eventually in high school I found Streetlight Manifesto. Turns out if it has horns in it I probably like it. That's what happens when your parents play a lot of Chicago and Earth, Wind, & Fire growing up.

I always liked that they hired one of their buddies to dance around the stage like a ska hype man during their sets.

I had a friend in high school that was in a band. When I asked him what instrument he played, he replied "I'm Spider-Man". I was confused, until I saw one of their shows and in the middle of one of the songs he came on stage dressed as Spider-Man and danced around. I was still confused afterwards...

[Sebastian]

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.
