Now I'm listening to ska, swing, and punk music mostly.

Hell yeah. Also Jazz, Disco and Blues are pretty cool. I just like anything with horns... ((I know its off topic but w/e))

So then you must love my avi...

do you play trumpet or trombone or something?

Both... I play almost every "ska" brass instrument. Trumpet, Tenor Trombone, Baritone, and Tuba. Haven't tried any reed instruments yet tho. Also, I play 5-string Bass, and piano...

...
Did someone just say super talent that I wish I had, moloko, and/or ultra-violence? Yes? Just making sure...

I play trumpet and 4 string bass. Tried piano, but couldn't get the two-hands thing down at all after about 6 months of pain and practice, so I gave up with it. I sing, too. I've always wanted to learn trombone, is it easy to learn? If so, great, if not, I'm up to the challengee.

I wish I played horns. you guys are awesome. I play guitar, some bass, I can do keys, but not piano. also can't do the 2 hand thing. mostly because I don't own a piano or keys. I can almost play sax, don't know all the #/b's though.

Dance

My friend had a habit of searching through AOL music on demand, where he saw Everything Sucks by Reel Big Fish. For the next year or two, he listend to them nonstop, and I picked it up from there. I've been listening to ska for.. five years, now, I think.

Ahhh, That's where I first heard ska when I didn't know what it was... Good ol' Kablam.
But when I got older, a friend of mine who isn't a friend of mine anymore showed me the aquabats.
And I liked ska.
But I'm more into the local bands than she is.
Eh, whatever.

it's a modern look
but it's all about roots

Good ol' Aquabats. Back in elementary school I would always gice my friend Adam a ride home and he introduced me to The Aquabats song PIzza Day after school one time. Thought it was great and bought one of their albums. I got into more ska stuff after listening to it. Ever since then, I've been in love with it

I didn't know it was on Ka'Blam!!! I used to love that show so much! My friends got me into Reel Big Fish and No Doubt. Then I started to search for more ska bands and found a bunch of third wave. Once intrested in that, I found this guild 4laugh heart !

I first experienced SKA at the rock concert few years ago. I thought it was quite unique and positive.
