I do believe I talked to you about ska before, but that was a looong time ago. You were the first one to recommend Catch 22 to me, even though I didn't get into them much at the time (sometimes it takes me a while to get used to bands, but I can grow to love the hell out of them). You haven't been around for a while, though. What brought you back?

Yeah, I don't like Leftover Crack at all either, but since they're punk and that's what you were asking for, I put it down. I hate that type of music, though.

I've seen Reel Big Fish (opened up by Goldfinger) and Less Than Jake (opened by Yellowcard, who I don't like that much but were quite good) live. Both my two favorite concerts thus far, and this is pitted against The Offspring, Foo Fighters, and Jane's Addiction. I managed to get at the very front at the Reel Big Fish concert, which made it ten times better. It's too damn bad LTJ ditched The Pietasters, who they've toured with before. Pietasters rule. Oh, and TYLER POINTED AT ME

!

Tom Kalnoky is one of my idols (along with Aaron and Dicky Barrett). And yeah, I've heard that post-Keasby Nights Catch 22 sucks live. I still have neither "Keasby Nights" nor "Everything Goes Numb," but I have about 4 downloaded songs from each (don't wanna download the whole album cause then no songs will come as a surprise when I buy it) and I'm meaning to get them as soon as I have money. You should watch out for SM this summer, though. Look on their website, they're gonna be touring the States and a bit of Canada, and, what's more, Big D's gonna be supporting them for a large part of it. That's gonna be an amazing show if you can catch it.

Anyway, you should really check out Mad Caddies and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones if you haven't yet. Those are also great bands.

Pointless fact of the week:
The word “trivia” comes from the Latin "tri-" + "via", which means three streets. This is because in ancient times, at an intersection of three streets in Rome, they would have a type of kiosk where ancillary information was listed. You might be interested in it, you might not, so they were bits of “trivia."
