Just about halfway through the year and we're up to 85+ new #Ska (and Ska-ish) albums just on Spotify. Bit of everything from #Rocksteady to #Punk and beyond. If you're interested in trying them all out in just one place, this might not be a bad place to start:

Somehow, January 2026 was worse than expected, which makes it hard to focus on music. Nevertheless, it's time for Ska, Punk, and Other Junk.

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter. And there are so many things more worthy of my time, energy, and frustration.

But boy oh boy am I tired of the Dodgers.

After 35+ years of #ska fandom, only 5 bad actors sucked the joy out of the greater scene for me

I feel I've missed out on 2 years of music that I wasn't personally connected to...

So greater ska community, I timidly ask... what have I missed?

What an accomplishment for Ernie Clement, joining Team USA for the WBC.

When he was released by the A's and signed with the #BlueJays late in camp in 2023, I don't know if I even wrote a story about it. It was just another minor move.

He's earned everything. A good day for one of the good ones.

Hi Ska friends. I know times are hard for everyone but if you could take a moment and read my story. Any amount you could donate would be greatly appreciated. If you are unable to donate just sharing my story would help. Thanks. -Matt Vest
