Tweet I didn't play football this week. That's not good. Every Monday night I play football and get the opportunity to kick people, I find this soothing. If I don't get a weekly opportunity to kick people then bad things normally happen. Fortunately, there is always Punk Rock. I stumbled across the brilliant Big D and the Kids Table on the Mike Davies punk show. Any song that's called It's Raining Zombies On Wall Street just has [...]
Photo By giantrobotI usually don't post news, but today I learned that singer Dave from Big D And The Kids Table has been diagnosed with throat cancer. While I don't listen to them as much as I used to, Big D was easily one of my favorite bands for MANY years (I even had their wristband I used to wear 24/7 in my high school days), and I find myself returning to their older albums over and

Big D And The Kids Table used to be my favorite ska band years back. Every ska show I would go see, they would open, and their tour with Arrogant Sons of Bitches was one of the greatest I've seen. I will admit though, their release "Fluent In Stroll" sort of made me lose interest in the band as I didn't really like their new change in style, but when I heard them say that "For The Damned,
I'll be honest, these days I don't really listen to as much ska as I used to with a few exceptions. Perhaps it's the lack of newer ska bands that don't completely suck, or perhaps it's because all my favorite ska bands rarely tour (*cough* Mustard Plug *cough*) or just release albums I don't dig anymore (River City Rebels). However, there are a few gems in my ska collection that I will
Raise your hand if you like ska, punk, or ska-punk music? If you did, then the songs here are for you. It's just a little something to cheer you up as the temperature (especially here in Chicago) drops. Right now, all I want for Christmas is a Chicago Bears win over the New England Patriots today. Here are the links to Day 1 , Day 2 , Day 3 , Day 4 , Day 5 , Day 6 , Day 7 , and Day 8 of this series. [...]
So, longtime readers will remember when this lovely ole blog first started, there were 3 writers... and no direction at all. We didn't really know where we wanted to take the blog, and it was just more of a fun hobby for us. AquarianBeauty, although she doesn't write on here anymore, used to be our expert in pointing out interesting websites, stories you may have missed and comics deep within the

Video: Big D and the Kids Table "Fluent in Stroll"
Big D and the Kids Table has been one of my favorite ska-punk bands for the longest time now, and one I've seen more times than I can keep track of. While initially I wasn't a huge fan of Strictly Rude (and posted about it), the album eventually grew on me. Where older albums like Good Luck were straight ska-punk, Strictly Rude was a straight up ska/reggae/dub album, Fluent In Stroll simply has
SomaCow Media is proud to present ComaSow brought to you by Big D and the Kids Table . I have to apologize up front. Rowan decided to play with the mouse and stopped the recording so I am piecing together the recordings for you! You'll still hear everything we heard minus maybe some cussing by me, you would have heard in the live show! We started out talking about T-Rex restaurant at Downtown Disney. Here's one of the dinosaurs, rarr! Our first [...]
(Boston aka: Siberia) Weeeell, what have we here? It's a brand new year (2009 for those who weren't sure), and I just got back from kicking it live straight out of Boston (hence the lack of updates around these parts). Boston is an awesome, awesome city. I'd move there in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the damn cold weather (Oh, and I hate how cops use freaking laser beams to pull people over.
On Saturday my favorite radio station, WXPN , devoted eight hours of programming to 70's prog rock. While I understand that prog had its mind-expanding, chemically shaped followers back in the early 70's, I can't understand why anyone would still listen to it in 2009 when the recorded works of The Beatles, Chuck Berry, Mitch Ryder, Bob Marley, Hank Williams, Jerry Lee Lewis, Pavement and The Grass Roots remain available for your listening pleasure. And I tried to listen, like a car wreck it was difficult to turn away (or turn the station) as hairy, gnomic, viking helmeted men [...]

Freaking stoked out of my mind could not even begin to describe how hyped I was to catch the biggest ska fest on this side of the hood. Yesterday I trekked the two hour drive out to the Starland Ballroom in New Jersey. After getting horribly lost (god I hate google maps sometimes), I finally arrived a tad late missing most of the local bands. Hub City Stompers: When I first heard of the
Hey Hey Hey It's Election Day! Go Out And Vote So They Can Hear What You Have To Say (The Voting Machines Already Know The Results Anyway) Seriously though. Go out and vote. NOW.

Instrumentals are way too underrated, often ignored (or *gasp!* dare I say it? skipped!) when we listen to an album. So in tribute to the lonely, underappreciated musical melodies, here are my top 10 (non-classical/non-techno) favorite instrumental tracks. 10. Propagandhi – Interlude Video panning out of a six year old's birthday party (thrown in the 80s) is what comes to mind with this song. Thank god Propagandhi has our [...]
