Lake Front Ska

So I drove up to Toledo last night for the Lake Front Ska festival. $12 tickets, half a dozen bands (even if I only got there in time for the last three), and a few hundred ska fiends. A bit surreal at times as I was probably twice as old as some of the kids there - but the bands I saw were fairly good.

The headliners were Streetlight Manifesto - who were really tight. The more I listen to ska, the more I appreciate an in-sync horn section, and these guys had that to spare. The other bands I saw were The Ninjas and The Know How.

Plus, I finally got a chance to pick up the "Still Standing" compilation for $10 - can't beat that. 88 songs at $10 works out to what, 11 cents a song? iTunes, eat your heart out.
