i have the itch to go out and buy new music lately, but have had no time or money to do so, luckly, i got a suprise of the Scottish band, Frightened rabbit, just came out with thier debut album, The Midnight Organ Fight. their first album sing the greys i felt was a great effort that went totally unnoticed. with this second album i was only hoping for a little more of the same thing, but was happily surprised with a new approach with the same fundamentals that they started with. while im not as addicted to this album as i was with the first one, it is still a great album with a lot more thought and more of a lasting quality to it.
been digging through my old ska collection lately and been enjoying some of the cds i got when i started to get into other stuff, so unfortunately i neglected those ska bands. but not anymore! two bands ive been listening a lot of is Firebug and green house. firebug is more a stubborn records/version city kinda band, small, under the radar, good melodies that are reminiscent of old dubbed-out rocksteady and mid-90 jazzy ska third wave. green house is more a straight forward early 3rd wave ska band that definitely is alot more fun than most of the washed out ska bands stuffed in suits because they saw the specials do it.
