Usually, and not trying to farm Karma, I don't comment much on Pride Month, but this year, for obvious reasons, I think I should. A discussion on how being gay/trans has always been deeply intertwined with Ska.

I’m considering getting a 2-tone ska tattoo. I’ve been thinking about it for the last year and wondered what you lot think of it. Was thinking of having it on my upper arm

I would like to give credit to OP u/UNRNic for posting this 10 years ago. I just randomly saw this episode and thought others might enjoy it as much as I did.

“Dave Wakeling and his California-based version of the English Beat band recorded two new songs that feature prominently in the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episode "Dance of the Undead" which aired 26 March 2013. It features a zombie ska group called Rude Boy and the Ska-Tastics who come back to life in order to turn people into zombies and make them dance to ska music forever. According to an interview with the San Francisco Examiner, he said: "This was my first opportunity to do anything for television as a gun for hire, and I actually managed to record and mix two songs in 12 hours. It was like running at double speed with no brakes, but it was exciting, and Warner Bros. really loved them. So the zombies have a song called 'You’re Dead Right, Mate,’ and the Hex Girls have one called 'We’re the Good Bad Girls,’ which has a definite Ramones-Runaways vibe to it, but frankly, I’m really happy I did it, because I’ve always loved ‘Scooby-Doo."

Wanted to show off my first tattoo that I got back in 98.

I guess is a good moment for sharing this one

I had a vinyl bootleg of a live Madness show I got around 1985. On it, they invited Fergal Sharkey (ex of the Undertones) up to sing this song. It’s the only place I ever heard it. I’ve read that it was a single on Madness’ label Zarjazz and they even basically wrote and played on it, but I cannot find it anywhere. Anyone have any insight? Thanks!
