Madness, the people who I think first made ska marketable, was popular (I think) in the 80's. Ska was invented in Jamaca (sp?) a long time ago by blending raggae, jazz and some blues, so I don't think They can take any credit. FYI ska isn't just up-beat horn music. Ska actually gets it's name from the way the guitar sounds (it sounds like it's saying "ska". It's gotta have that staccato, up-stroke, treble sound. That's my 2p.

I was giving an example of a reggae/ska blend. And it just so happened that one of the Skatilites' first albums was in '93 (I don't know if it was misinterpreted or not, but I decided to post this as a safe guard). Then again, reggae has been around a lot longer than Bob Marley in the '70s, he was just one of the first to make it popular to the masses.

Leffel Palindrome Leffel was a good person who contributed to the list in many many ways and we do miss him. The way we show the hole he left is to keep mentioning him whenever we durn-possibly can. He keeps popping up each couple months, just like any other cycle the list has. Kinda funny, the TMBG-list cycles adds in Leffel. We hit the "Newbies come in and post a lot" -> "Off-topic posts are bad" and this usually goes into someone reminiscing and pointing out that if Leffel were here, he'd say something that would make everything better (even though we all know full well that Leffel was usually part of the lead-in to the "Off-topic posts are bad" stage of the list - ironic, isn't it). This prompts people who aren't in the know (*wink* *wink*) to wonder who this Leffel character is and people who are in the know (*wink* *wink*) to attempt to explain the entity which is Leffel. I mean, Leffel is part of the TMBG-list cycle! That's more than we can say for AKAs or the naming of the Pink Album debate.

Mike's a fun guy, >a good running joke, and missed. That's a nice way to put it. A lot of people got into the "cult of Leffel" because, quite frankly, his posts were outrageous and hilarious. They weren't necessarily about anything, but they had thrown in them countless non-sequitur pop culture references and Robin Williams-like improvisational wackiness. You could almost here the comedic inflections in his voice by reading what he wrote. All in all, Mike amounted to a very very funny guy. In my letters with him, I got the impression that this was someone who could absorb trivial bits of data from all sources, and crush them into a conglomeration of random comedy. He had _talent_. I sincerely hope he makes it into the field of comedy one day, because nobody I ever corresponded with could make me laugh so easily. Mike aspired to be a comics artist (comic books, mainly, it seems), and I wish him luck on that venture; hopefully, he can display his sense of the sublime through whatever he goes forth with. Whether or not Mike would actually love the worship here, if he posted he would definitely make it seem as if he did love it. He would take the gag and run.

Message-ID: Date: Tue, 14 Jul 1998 15:19:29 -0400 (EDT) oh no. wdtss is definetly NOT ska. a brief history of ska: it originated in jamaica, moved to england, and then hit the states. its birth was in the 60s i believe, and the first ska bands were the skatalies and toots and the maytals. they took a lot from jazz and swing and mixed it with a type of jamacian music called rasta. in the heat waves of the 70s, ska rhythms were slowed down to keep the dancers alive, and this became reggae. in the mid 80s, ska sort of went into remission, forcing bands to either break up, go underground, or go mainstream (i.e. madness). with the renewed interest in punk, ska has come back (sort of). the rhythms are much faster and more complex than most of the old skool ska, and of course there's a lot of loud electric guitar. which is good sometimes, but bad because now any idiot guitarist who can hit a 2 and a 4 on a 4/4 measure thinks he can play ska. anyway, wdtss is not ska because the essence of a ska beat is the 2 and 4 emphasis, whereas wdtsss has a very heavy bass note on the downbeat of most measures. anyway, if you want to check out some cool ska bands, here's what i recommend. early ska/old skool but new recordings: the skatalites, toots and the maytals, jazz jamaica. 2nd wave/2tone: let's go bowling, the specials, the pie tasters, bim skala bim. 3rd wave/punk: less than jake, mighty mighty bosstones, skankin' pickle. about the only tmbg "ska" riff i can think of occurs at the end of "hey mr. dj i thought we had a deal." when the vibes go freestyling on the head of the song, the guitar cuts into a ska-ish rhythm. oh, and no doubt is NOT ska. well, they are sort of, but they suck anyway. * ----------------------------------------- Jeremy Skrenes Email: Jeremy.Skrenes@valpo.edu Valparaiso University ------------------------------ Message-ID: Date: Tue, 14 Jul 1998 16:32:25 -0400 (EDT) From: Lawrence P Solomon Subject: TMBG: Severe Tire Damage chords...

Bbm / Ebm Ebm B F# B - Bm - When I give the signal, my friend, Raboble will play the solo and the chords for the solo are identical to the "I like to play the drums..." part and at the end of the solo, instead of A and F#m, it goes |: F# Ebm :| x4 (same chords as "When I give the signal...")

Rasta is not music, but a slang term for a religon, Ras Tafari (or Rastafari, depends on who you ask). Rasta is a term used for a language, and folowers, but I've never heard it used for a kind of music. One belief links all Rastas (some may refer to them or themselves as Dreads), and that belief is that Haille Selassie I, king of Ethiopia, is Divine in nature. Haille Selassie was the Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 through the seventies. He was born with the name Ras Tafari, but then given the name Haille Selassie I, which means "Might of the Trinity", in 1930 after his coronation as Emperor of Ethiopia. Rastafarians acknowledge that their religion is a blending of purest forms of both Judaism and Christianity. The Rastafarian movement gave first appeared in the early 1930s. After Marcus Garvey's back-to-Africa movement. Music often listen to by Rastas is Reggae because most of it was about Selassie, Rastafari lifestyle, the religon in general, and other things relating to the subject. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

"wormies"? like we call the flood people "floodies".. you know... ah.. what do you think? you can tell me so shut up or say "THAT'S THE DUMBEST THING I EVER HEARD" but you can't crack my head because i am AUSTRALIA!!! mwaaahahaahahhahaaa! i usually have some semblance of wit... but it is too cold and i am too running late. that was my thought for the day. i think there's something in that for all of us. carla "sleep all through the day" ------------------------------ End of tmbg-list Digest #8-15 *****************************
