Brevity by Dan Thompson for March 11, 2022

The Skatalites are what’s happening.

All influenced by Chicago Transit Authority.

Big Bad VooDoo Daddy is Swing, not Ska.

Oh…I thought they were talking about drugs…..sorry.

They didn’t mention UB40!

‘Ska-pical’? Ummmmm….noooo!

Is Fishbone subtypical Ska?

So the Catch-22 is whether this discussion is Madness or Sublime.

Not even worthy of a “booo”. Frankly, I’m diskasted.

First time I heard of ska music I thought he was referring to SCA music – as in Society for Creative Anachronism, medieval. My best friend in grad school’s fiance’ was a SCA musician.

what are they chatting about? oh, nothing specials…

big bad voodoo daddy plays swing not ska, however they are the best!

How does this dip not know that Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is in no way a ska band? Couldn’t’ve even taken 3seconds to double check on wikipedia?

Thanks for reminding me of this:

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy isn’t Jamaican or ska… it’s swing revival and boogie woogie.
