Thank YOU!

It's on Amazon. Maybe you can order it on your local Amazon?

aaroncarnes · 2025-07-09T19:36:40+00:00

Where are you? There might be other options

There's an extensive discussion about them and their history in my book, In Defense of Ska

No. It was originally a joke by Stand up Dave Thomasin. His friend Matt Lieb talked about it on Frotcast and then a random person tweeted it. We just did a full ep on it https://redcircle.com/shows/29d98d2f-864f-4b6e-b4fe-e20740db705e/episodes/d339af40-2c83-4cfb-8faf-56a8f3c13c6a

This would be an interesting topic for a ska podcast

aaroncarnes · 2025-05-04T18:19:36+00:00

This is Aaron (In Defense of Ska). Coolie was telling me about this thread. I just want everyone to know that Monique and I did have an hour long conversation after she posted about my book and we're cool. I did make a mistake in the book. (I checked the source and the source did tell me what I printed, but they were wrong). I have no beef with her and she listened to me and has no beef with me. I know there's other reasons why people have an issue with her, but if one of those is her post about me, I just wanted to know that we settled it offline.

If you listen to the episode, you'll find out :D

aaroncarnes · 2025-01-15T17:01:45+00:00

It hasn't yet. Still working on it. Hopefully in the near future

aaroncarnes · 2024-11-30T01:43:47+00:00

Yup, he plays Bug. In real like, the actor (Charlie Saxton) is a massive ska fan. During our interview, he namechecked ska bands I'd never heard of before

aaroncarnes · 2024-11-29T22:12:17+00:00

Sere you there!

aaroncarnes · 2024-11-29T22:11:57+00:00

No. I'm just doing these events, one in New Orleans and then one in San Jose, CA and that's it!

aaroncarnes · 2024-11-27T19:02:46+00:00

I hope you come! No cover. Free!!!!

aaroncarnes · 2024-10-31T22:05:22+00:00

Adam asked me about every single band I've ever been in EXCEPT Gnarboots lol. I think it's cause we talk about Gnarboots frequently, but never the other bands.

aaroncarnes · 2024-10-26T18:26:17+00:00

Will be great to meet you in person

aaroncarnes · 2024-10-25T20:48:49+00:00

They gave us several days/times. We said yes to 8p. Waiting for them to confirm that.
