since i’ve been on my own here for a couple of months, i've been hanging out at this tiny bar where the bartenders are from various english speaking countries. this bar is so small that it’s basically impossible to not meet people there. i speak very limited french so that can be cumbersome at times. but here, most people speak english, which makes it easy for me.anyway, i met a couple of french guys who happen to LOVE ska music. that got me thinking about some of the ska bands that i love – less than jake, skankin’ pickle, op ivy, etc. they had never heard of any of them! then they mentioned a bunch of european bands that i’ve never heard of – but they LOVE reel big fish. i’m not a fan of that band, but we talked a bit and decided that we were going to exchange some music. they turned me on to ska-p (spain), sustraia (france) and spook & the guay (france) - and i don't speak spanish but the music is really fun (as ska music should be). also, now they’re huge fans of less than jake, op ivy, and the bosstones. apparently, there’s a huge underground ska scene here even today.so i guess that's my 'real world' emcd story. damn. whenever i think of stuff to post here, it always sounds better than when i actually post it. i need to work on my execution... or mention anna...
