Here I go with the ska, again. In some previous LMC posts, I mentioned how my affinity for ska, growing up, was heavily influenced by the plethora of extremely talented local ska bands that were around, at the time. One of my very favorites was Swim Hershel Swim. I don’t even remember how they came up, a couple of weeks ago. But, I was trying to tell Reagan about them, and ended up doing a bit of digging on the web. I discovered that, not only do that have a Facebook page (including a photo of a couple of the shows that I attended), but that they also had all of their MP3s available for download, on the web. I couldn’t resist sharing one of my faves. It is the first track on the only LP (to my knowledge) that they ever released, titled “Burn Swim Burn.” The song is called “Shut up.” So, feel free to click play.

Ha! You know whose band this is, right? I guess maybe you don’t because you’re a dude and don’t read mommyblogs. Anyway, Dooce(.com)? That is her husband’s old band from back in the day. Funny!
@Alison of a Gun: Ha! that is pretty funny. I had no idea. Such a small world.
Hey, so random. I had left a comment on your wifes blog a few weeks back. Just out of nowhere I blog hopped & landed on her’s & left a comment about your cute daughter (I hope that was okay?). And turns out that you totaly grew up in Mike’s neighborhood. Who knew? Well Mike say’s Hello back. And you and your wife have pretty sweet blogs. 🙂
