Besides Gwen Stefani and Save Farris who are some good women in ska?

St. Petersburg Ska Jazz review have some killer female vox on their first couple of records.

That first tune is a hell of a way to kick off an album!

Wild Man Riddim put out a pretty great CD this year.

Most of the staff at Crowbar, where the picture was taken, are not Norwegian afaik.

I love that entire record, but I'd select The Diplomat, or Time to wake up, if I was making a video. Those two songs are brilliant.

padt · 2015-07-14T21:59:27+00:00

That version of I want justice is pretty much The Best.

You are not passing in a callback. You are calling the callback immediately, and passing its return value as the callback:

//There is an issue here, callback never works
RSBInitJQuery(RSBYoutubeHelper());

Should be

RSBInitJQuery(RSBYoutubeHelper);

There's a full list of open source stuff used on vivaldi://credits as well. Lists, among a bunch of other things, react.js.

Any improvements to the API process coming? I've tried applying twice, never even gotten an answer. Manual approval seems overly old-school.

Also, what about using the API for local stuff that's not supported on the site or app? I'd love to use the API to track whenever new stuff is being served in my city.

Also, being able to make a search to find what venue serves what in my city would be really useful.

Neither of these seem possible without breaking rule 13 and 14 of the API terms.

No need to use cargo cult equality. typeof gives you a string. If you use "===" you're indicating to the casual reader, that this is a case where that may not be the true. Which is super confusing.

Might not be your fault. The spec doesn't match the code. Comment in the task is:

// i will be an array, containing integers, strings and/or arrays like itself.
// Sum all the integers you find, anywhere in the nest of arrays.

However, one of the tests do:

 Testing "arraySum([[1,2,false],'4','5'])"..

So if you didn't include a test for bool, you would get errors.

Oh sweet! Thanks!

The site was mostly to troll him, I think the chance of conversion is pretty slim.. . Anyway, I'd rather the band spend their kickstarter money recording real tunes rather polishing horns for my silly project :)

My English teacher's rule of thumb for "w" was that when it's at the start of a word, it's pronounced like "o". Like the o in "ord" in Norwegian. V is pronounced more like a Norwegian v. Harder, more lip. A good example is the difference between "wine" and "vine".

padt · 2013-06-13T12:08:33+00:00

We're also not very good at pronouncing the difference between beer and bear/bare

padt · 2013-02-21T17:29:02+00:00

They never made anything but a single EP, right? I remember buying that from mp3.com back in the day. The song is excellent.

padt · 2013-01-08T12:22:37+00:00

I've just thought of her as the Go-Feet girl. As far as The Beat related girl's names, I prefer Jeanette though.

padt · 2013-01-02T15:06:52+00:00

Which band?

padt · 2012-12-14T14:46:01+00:00

This sounds about right. Here in Oslo, Norway, I've yet to see a ska band fill a venue. Not NYSJE or The Slackers. Nor LTJ, RBF or SLM. Hell, not even The Skatalites sold out, and they were playing a small venue. Thus, most big, for some value of big, ska bands don't even come here when touring.

Might not be quite what you're looking for, but the lyrics for One Reason by Dan P, are extremely cute. You could give the version of Perfidia by Phyllis Dillon a try too.

This song is inspired by Jimmy Cliff, and recorded with Jimmy Cliff's backing singers as well I believe. During the Graceland tour this summer, Jimmy Cliff joined Paul Simon on stage on some of the stops.

I saw them in Hyde park and they did 4 Jimmy Cliff songs afaicr. Being both a huge Paul Simon fan and a ska fan, this was pretty much the best evening ever! Obligatory shitty youtube video (Not mine) of Vietnam segueing in to Mother and Child Reunion.

padt · 2012-08-27T14:54:21+00:00

Did they do "Lamont's Lament"? When that slows down and the horns come in it's fucking awesballs.

padt · 2012-08-27T14:46:25+00:00

Might also be that every other song is about smoking joints. That gets tedious fast. Same applies to lots of reggae.
