The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAnniversary


Mustard Plug, "Suburban Homesick Blues" from Evildoers Beware! (The Last Angry Man)

Skammentary: Evildoers Beware! was released in the spring of 1997, just in time for the Summer of Ska. Tonight, in Grand Rapids, Mustard Plug are scheduled to play Evildoers Beware! in its entirety, in celebration of the dual twentieth anniversaries. I would dearly love to make the pilgrimage to The Pyramid Scheme tonight, but there's too much that needs doing here at home. Plus, none of my kith like Mustard Plug, & ska shows aren't nearly as much fun solo.
"Saw an old friend, yeah, just the other day,
Went to his house, got lost along the way,
Should've known better than to venture out that side of town,
It's been a while since we had last talked,
Knew things would change, but not the way I thought,
It's funny how priorities change when you walk across the rail…"
