Skammentary: Four of the five songs on the Ska-Core, the Devil, and More E.P. are covers. From the E.P., for February's farewell fête, we've chosen "Simmer Down" (Friday, 4 February), a roots ska song by The Wailers with The Skatalites, & now "Think Again," a hardcore punk song by Minor Threat. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' early music shows forth more influence by hardcore punk than by Jamaican ska, & their consistent musical ecumenism has been a seminal influence on my own approach to SKApril, etc.
"Ignorance, it set your standards.
Intelligence, that don't work in your brain.
You're an adult, but you act like a child.
Don't even try to explain.
This stupid shit, it's been done.
You think you're the only one?
Think again!…"
