№ CCLXXII - The bathyscaphe Trieste & Project NEKTON, the conquest of the Challenger Deep.
The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
The Hippos, "So Lonely" from Forget the World (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: Perhaps my favorite characteristic of third wave ska/ska-punk is the juxtaposition of peppy melodies with sad lyrics, a smile & snarky cynicism barely glossing over a profound, persistent gloom. The masters of this were & are the Reel Big Fish, but in their now-bygone time The Hippos were no slouches, though "So Lonely" is perhaps not the best example of those peppy melodies.
