Douche Moments
Posted on August 31, 2008I was driving through the parking lot the other night, coming home from a long day at work, and I happen to see a pair of attractive girls getting out of their car, presumably also coming home from a long day somewhere. I am one who is often wont to listen to music while I drive, and at a loud volume, because that’s the way music should be listened to. (I am also one who is often wont to use words like “wont”, but that’s neither here nor there.) So I drive past, looking cool and such. I see them, they see me. And then it hits me.
Fuck. The song coming out of my iPod is ska. I hadn’t really been paying attention to what was playing, and now, instead of cool, I was the guy listening to ska. A ska cover song in fact. Ska-punk covers are the pinnacle of douchiness, and to be seen in public listening to such is a terrible thing. I shall be forced to wear a badge of shame for this terrible douche moment.

Ska isn’t so bad. I for some unexplainable reason recently decided to get out some of the ska of days past and listen to it. Nothing wrong with a little classical music.
It depends. Old school stuff like the Specials, Madness, and the Beat? That’s good stuff. Even older school with the Wailers and Ernest Ranglin and Prince Buster? Awesome. But most of the third wave doesn’t interest me. Except for the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, they will always be awesome.
oh man, im fucked! LOL! actually, the only ska i listen to is Suburban Legends — which is kind of like making fun of ska, but at the same time, i love the jazz-rock feel of their crap. it’s crap. i know. damn, do you have an extra douche badge?
BTW, no show for sushi? AND, i still have your card reader and card. i’ll have to get this back to you ASAP. drink are in order, bitch.
