End of the First week of FYE! Yay!

So here we are: one entire week of Blog. I don't think I'll be posting every day, this system of 1 in 2 seems fine, with the occasional exception to the rule no?

I had a look at the official site, and RADIOHEAD are playing at the Sziget this year, along with Robert Plant! Hah, I can think of one or two people who'll want to change their opinions about that place!
Anyway, this week I thought I'd introduce you to Ska-P. Obviously dramatically different, since it is Ska punk which I saw at Sziget. They're very politically motivated Spaniards, calling for the legalisation of Cannabis and, during the Live, dressing up (see piccy) as "Tio Sam" (uncle sam), showing their bum and getting an entire crowd to show both its middle fingers and shout "Mr Bush: Fuck Off!". Great fun.

The first track is entitled Cannabis and people going utterly mental in scorching hot weather, and at the end of the week I was actually pretty sick of it because it was played every five seconds around the Island in the countless bars and nightclub/ish tents there are.

Ska-P - Cannabis

The second track is McDollar, a funny little song which, predictably, is a bit of an attack on the "American economic invasion", as they put it before they played it. Funny little tune, seems like a bit of a happy one, and is the track which is the closes to Ska there is really.

Finally, here is "Planeta Eskoria", which despite my rudementary Spanish and the internet I can't find the sense of. No idea what it means, but hey, these things happen with the music I post here, and it's a much more aggressive song than all the others. Strangely, during one of those breaks where the guitar takes the lead, I get the impression it comes from Inspector Gadget. If you get what I mean, thank God, I'm not actually going insane!

What's that? Oh yeah the song: Ska-P - Planeta Eskoria

Sadly, I found out a couple of weeks that they split up in late 2005 - to be fair, they had been around for ages though. So there you go, that was Ska-P, better Ska punk than Less Than Jake. Which is always good!

UPDATE: Eskoria comes from escoria, which means something along the lines of repugnant/disgusting. So, the name of the track means disgusting/repugnant planet. So there you go!
