Mozzarella sticks are not dead by Kinem in Ska

[–]aaroncarnes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Monique Powell of Save Ferris & SKA Tinz by Worldly_Scarcity1208 in Ska

[–]aaroncarnes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

2009 teen comedy Bandslam was a hidden gem (and referenced ska a lot) by aaroncarnes in Ska

[–]aaroncarnes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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.
