I agree. Such a quality blog. Most "ska" blogs I have found on tumblr are largely distant from the music and can be rather lowbrow. Glad to follow one that keeps it real. Keep it up.

Thank you!! Honestly it may be because I don’t really listen to new ska or follow the scene much in its current form… I like to keep it classic! There are enough blogs on Tumblr obsessively copying and pasting Streetlight Manifesto photos. ;)

Tumblr is really full of porn spam bots the last few days :(

Anyone else getting a bunch of “likes” from accounts that are clearly not real? Boooo.
