Thanks for joining me on this musical adventure. If you're wondering what's going on with the glut of ska from around 2000, it's because I had a binge of buying ska CDs in 2002 and I'm going through my CDs in the order I bought them (so hopefully there aren't many more Weird Al Yankovic or Robbie Williams skeletons remaining in the closet!). There's a few more ska CDs to go, but after that the eclecticness (eclecticism?) will return.
In the meantime, perhaps a drinking game will help liven things up. Take a shot whenever this blog:
- uses the adjectives "wonderful", "brilliant" or "fantastic" (I desperately need some more superlatives...)
- uses the words "intricate", "layered" or "textured"
- is about an obscure Australian CD which was produced for a handful of fans and is nowhere to be found for sale these days
- (at the other end of the spectrum) is about a CD which everyone in the world already owns, and has been reviewed many times by far more qualified critics
- deems it necessary to pick on the recording quality of a local band's first CD, which was probably recorded in the bass player's garage in a single take on a hungover Sunday
- sounds like a pretentious wanker
...cheers!
