a very brief history of ska!
This entry is a shout out to my Friend Wallace wells(AKA nick) who thinks that i am the master of ska music. I don't like to brag because that is so not true. But i know enough to give a basic origin of the genre.
Okay lets start with the different types of ska there are. the first generation that was started in Jamaica which was a combo of different styles rocksteady,jazz .this later gave way to reggae cause ska is the grandfather of reggae music
second generation was basically the birth of 2-tone. this was the combination of ska and London punk. that's the reason the most famous ska band of the time where from Europe the specials and madness arguably the most well known.
then third wave which was made popular by operation ivy is known by most as ska punk because it was a combination of hardcore punk and ska. this is the most resent and the most well known having bands that where about fun and acceptance. this is the type of ska I was born into the type I've been singing since I was five and the one with my favorite bands. this genre had bands that include The aquabats, reel big fish, mighty mighty bosstones, save ferris, less then jake, streetlight manifesto, goldfinger etc. most of these bands are still out there rocking out though some like goldfinger, the aquabats have changed their style, though still good it ain't as good as the skanking music from the 1900s.
this style is no longer as popular since its hit its peak somewhere in the 1990s being on TV show like digimon and movies like baseketball. but don't despair because unlike how people like to think ska is not dead I've seen things on the Internet that give me hope and that are pretty creative like ska mixed with old school rap syles. just gotta have patience because no matter what the future holds there will always be room for the underdog of music ska.(that was so cheesy :D)
ps check this out rude boy the original site is http://www.dobi.nu/yourscenesucks/ its good if you want to make fun of your Friends that actually look like that!
pps if anyone wants to correct me they are welcomed to!

street fighter 2 animated movie review
i bought this movie last Monday.and I don't know what I wanted to see i just knew that like a year ago i saw clips of a street fighter animated movie and knew that i wanted to see it. sadly it would be at least a year till that happened mostly because of lack of interest. the day before i bought this movie at a comic book store i was at a movie place and in the anime place i found out that there are like 10 different street fighter movies as many as there are versions of the street fighter 2 game. and i also found out the one i saw on youtube was different one.
the best way to describe this movie in a few words is cameos the movie because that's all this is cameos just for fan service. and once any character makes a cameo you will not see them at anytime later in the movie. and fyi most of the cameos are really useless.
this film starts off with a fight between ryu and sagat which admittedly was pretty bad ass, even if It was seen through a dragon ball z scouter.
thourging the fight we find out that the scouters don't even see real power levels they see potential power levels which ryu has at a very low 3000 something. come one man! little kid gohan can take him on. then after that we see one of m.bison's mind slaves cammy. she attacks a diplomat or something(with lots of ass shot :D) and is them taken down like a chump. then its revealed that bison using his "PSYCHO POWERS" plans to take over the minds of all the best street fighters in the world so he can take over the world.
but one would be quick to question even if you do have the best fighters in the world how they would be able to take on a planet and countries who's main weapons are missiles and guns not hand to hand combat. we know for sure that they can take on cars by themselves but an entire military? they can't even beat yamcha! that is total bull!
so very long story short, ryu is traveling Asia because...... he is waiting to face ken? I don't know the movie makes a whole thing about them wanting a re-match when they meet up again. ken is kidnapped and brainwashed with "PSYCHO POWERS" robots watching all fighter but don't do anything just making an excuse for them to have a meet and greet with characters, except for zangief and blanca who are made to fight for rich people. chun-li panties and vega loses. quile wants revenge even more. guile finds ryu on mountain bison finds guile, big fight with evil ken,bison and balrog vs ry,guile and e.honda. good guys tart to lose e.honda and balrog fall off mountain keen turns good ryu and ken haduken bison point blank, his plane explodes and his Buddha head mountain base chung-li and guile have a thing when she leaves hospital, ryu and ken part ways....for some reason. because ryu needs to walk across America or some other bullshit.
thats it, i can Say more but all I'd be doing is repeat myself because the whole movie is the same Shtick cameo, awesome fight scene, cameo awesome fight scene. the movie in a technical sense is great the fights are awesome and the animation was great but i couldn't completely enjoy it because right when i get a good dose of a bomb ass character they disappear never to be seen again because they need the time to constantly talk about how ryu is a bad ass( its fucking true!).
thanks for reading hoped you liked this and hope you keep reading. later days
