SKApril!

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Suburban Legends, "High Fives" from Rump Shaker (T.L.A.M.)

Skammentary: The Loose Ties are enthusiastic fans of the Suburban Legends (they cover "High Fives," for example), your humble narrator less so. I ascribe this at least partially to a generation gap; they're just younger than me enough to have missed the Summer of Ska ('97), & thus they have an underdeveloped appreciation for such bands as, to pick the most egregious oversight, Less Than Jake. Thus, while variety-being-the-spice-of-life certainly weighed in the Suburban Legends' favor, they would not have have been chosen to provide the R.B.D.S.O.T.D.: SKApril if they were not worth our while.

Two mildly relevant snippets of dialogue from
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle:

Kumar: "You're worthless."
Harold: "I'm not worthwhile."

Kumar: "You might just be worthwhile."
Harold: "I'm not worthless."
