Dance me to the end of love
Apr. 29th, 2005 09:09 amIt's Friday! It's about three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!
( You what? )
Today you are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
Less Than Jake - All My Best Friends Are Metalheads
I first encountered Less Than Jake singing a song called Dope Man on a CD that came free with a pair of Doc Martens. Later, I bought their double album Hello Rockview/Losing Streak because I found it cheaply in an Edinburgh record shop.
I'm not sure it contains two albums worth of good stuff, but it cost the same as a single album and easily contains one album's worth of loud, bouncy fun. I described it to a friend as sounding like what you'd get if you shook Offspring and Madness up in a box - the mail I got in reply said "You haven't heard much American ska, have you?".
I always lump the Dropkick Murphys (folk), Less Than Jake (ska) and Reel Big Fish (indie) as playing the same music, but from completely different backgrounds. I have no idea whether that's just me talking bollocks.
