@devonkaysolutions.bsky.social just saw the new video for Still Alive and all I have to say is..

Found out today that my kid's drum teacher asked her what band she wanted to learn a song from next and she said @flyingraccoonsuit.bsky.social. So it looks like she's gonna learn Take This With You!

This stripped down version of "We're Not Gonna Take It" is fucking killer... #peacemaker

My theory (and I'm sure I'm not alone) is that they aren't actual ICE or law enforcement...

Two teams each with an own goal in the same night... Love NHL Playoff season ..

As an old punk, I'm refreshed hearing songs about parenting/fatherhood. So far, Call Me Malcolm and The Wonder Years have done it really well. Curious to find more...

I would prank EVERYONE with this.

Digging Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man so far but they're way too heavy handed in their MCU references to not be considered MCU proper...

Big shout-out to @justinclonehero.bsky.social - I've been stuck home alone with some medical shit for the past 2 weeks and finally had time to get CH up and running on my laptop and these charts he has up are a Ska fan's dream!

You know you're in a weird place when the lyrics to Wake the Dead by Comeback Kid make you cry.

So like... Sciatica nerve pain is pretty awful. It feels like my leg has been twisted all the way around backwards and my brain just wants to keep trying to fix it at my own peril. Fuck this.

So I'm stuck at home for the foreseeable future due to some serious, crippling sciatica issues (can't drive or ride in a car ATM) and I figured "hey I was stuck home for a whole year... I'll be ok..."

Just saw some conservative in a thread about an actual murder tell his people to "wake up" and, honestly, as an English teacher and contrarian I feel like he should've found better wording... Irony is completely lost on these people.

I sure hope Tony Hawk is getting royalties from this new Mario Kart game...

My reddit feed is pushing Brand New's big amphitheatre show REALLY hard today...

Stopped because when I needed a job in HS, Sunday was the only day I could work. Realized it left no gap in my soul. Became agnostic. Got older, watched the world and, wouldn't ya know it, now I'm 100% atheist.

Sometimes songs pop up and my 8yo daughter has questions. Today, it was Schadenfreude by @tinystills.bsky.social...

Had some friends over last night and one of them called my Brit Ska Punk playlist "emo" and honestly... I was too high to fight with anything more than a hearty "nuh-uh"

We're not at all sad about a certain omission... Not sad at all.... 😢 But seriously they are banging bands, and we don't expect everyone to love our music

Reading/teaching The Crucible and it's fearmongering inspiration (McCarthyism) in March of 2025 is scary as fuck. People cite Orwell and Vonnegut as prophetic, but holy shit was Arther Miller onto something when he put this play out there.

If you're wondering if there's a bad place to take an edible there is: at the local Maggiano's murder mystery dinner with your wife and her colleagues. Two out of 10 do not recommend.

Never thought I'd say this, but good for Rubio for not leaning in with the rest of these absolute fucking garbage people.

Me when my students try to use proper MLA in-text citation when they ignored my lesson on how to do so...

@devonkaysolutions.bsky.social @tinystills.bsky.social and Dollar Signs at @themilestoneclub.bsky.social for Valentine's Day.

Sitting at my desk, grading papers, listening to @devonkaysolutions.bsky.social @tinystills.bsky.social and Dollar Signs getting pumped for this show tonight... 8pm can't come fast enough.

Not me sitting in my 7yo basketball practice damn near tearing up watching her coach show her the EXACT SAME stuff the EXACT SAME way my dad did for me when I was her age. My dad woulda loved this coach. Wish he was still around to see her play.

Listening to @devonkaysolutions.bsky.social version of Portal makes me realize Devon has three pretty distinct singing styles and all three work really well when used at certain times in a song about a homicidal robot.

Kitties and music? YES PLEASE

Top 3 issue with modern students today, up there with using AI and just straight up apathy.

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

Gotta love mystery mail day! @skapunkinternational.com @iamcoolc.bsky.social

So I don't do Spotify, but I got my Amazon Music wrapped thing... music.amazon.com/recap/delive...

Anyone who thinks Biden could go scorched earth with pardons misses the point that he's just a different kind of shitty, corrupt politician who only uses his power for his own interests. He has done so little since he decided to bow out... Why start now?

Pinkshift fucking rules. Buy their stuff, follow their socials, and go see them live. I cannot stress enough how important and amazing this band is.

This is the only Christmas special worth watching annually and I will die on this hill.

1. Call Me Malcolm 2. Fishbone 3. Random Hand 4. Reel Big Fish 5. Less Than Jake 6. Spring Heeled Jack 7. Big D and the Kids Table 8. Catbite 9. Devon Kay and the Solutions 10. Streetlight Manifesto

NGL, my kid giving zero fucks about the star spangled banner at this game warms my small, black heart.

Anyone who thinks this site is an "echo chamber" need not look further than this thread. What could be a constructive conversation/clarification goes real weird real quick. Fwiw, Cool Chris has done way more for ska and it's true artists than the person criticizing him probably has, so... 🤷

Me: hey honey I figured out our Valentine's Day plans for 2025! Already sold her when we saw Dollar Signs a few weeks ago, so she should go nuts for the Greatest Band In The World @devonkaysolutions.bsky.social

Super cool that my school district has made it much harder for teachers to use PTO but has also dropped the attendance requirements for students. This won't contribute further to teacher burnout at all... #teacherproblems

Student: Mr. P, what smells so good? Me: Just airfrying a turkey for our department pot luck lunch today.
