and now this #Ska song by a band that I found by chance in the Tone & Wave blogspot, a band which has a little of 2-Tone influence, they seemed to have potential but I think they're inactive since some years ago... but well, enjoy this... *Skanking* 'til you lose 10lbs...

I went through some real financial crap this year, that I'm just now recovering from.

I don't feel qualified to name a #ska album of the year this year, since I didn't get to listen to enough things. I've been spending a lot of time catching up, but I can't possibly hear everything that came out in less than two weeks.

But I'm curious to know, whether you're a #skastodon user or one of our federated friends: What are your ska album picks this year?

Skastodon turns two in twelve days. Again, a gigantic thanks to everyone here, and everyone from the Fediverse who interacts with us.

I'll have to figure out some way to celebrate.

This tune has been on heavy rotation in my house/car/head lately. I think I'm going to try to learn / transcribe this.

Maybe I'll post some of this process here, in case it's interesting to anyone.

#Skastodon users (and anyone else on #mastodon):

I'm expanding my "social media empire" in the coming year.

1. Running a Kbin magazine or two.
2. Possibly starting up a Pixelfed (invite-only).
3. A... Secret third thing.

I guess since I took down the Halloween decorations it's time to retire my Scooby Doo referenced name. 😔

In honor of the spooky times, here's that one time a zombie ska band caused mischief on the show.

One year ago, I sat in a public library with my laptop, registering the domain and server for #skastodon

There was no clear goal except "make a place for the ska scene." I had no ambition toward money or clout.

Thanks to everyone who's here. Thanks our friends from outside Skastodon who federate with us.

I'm going to keep running this place, no matter how many show up.

Here's to another year of great music and people.

Hey, #Skastodon users! We have two new emojis.

Vinyl :vinyl: and Record :record: are similar but different, just like our earlier emojis Cassette :cassette: and Tape :tape:.

If you have any other custom emoji ideas, throw 'em at me.

Here's how to help #Skastodon, #Mastodon, and the entire #Fediverse, and it won't cost you anything but a few cents of electricity and bandwidth:

1. Use more federated social sites. Check out Kbin, Lemmy, Pixelfed, Peertube, and others.

2. Find interesting accounts to follow.

3. Use hashtags so people can find and follow you.

4. Tell others about the site(s) you're on.

Does your social media website have a zine with games and cheesy ska jokes? Well, maybe it should!

Hopefully stickers will be coming soon!

That's 25 more #Skastodon mini #zines cut and folded. The last ones went fast!

Now to get to some more shows so I can hand these out. Need to spread the word.

#Mastodon #Zine #DIY #SelfPromotion #Fediverse

Hey, #Skastodon users (and anyone else who wants to take a look).

Last week I had a bunch of Skastodon mini-zines printed up, so I can hand them out at shows and events. Here's the PDF.

Remember that Skastodon / Mastodon is all of us. This place has no reason to exist without the amazing people who post here, and the equally amazing people who federate with Skastodon.

Hi! Just a reminder #Skastodon is an independent server that runs on donations from amazing people.

Thanks!

Ever since getting this #Skastodon mini #zine printed up, I've been toying with the idea of doing a quick-and-dirty micro #TTRPG using the same method.

#Ska #DIY #RPG

#DIY self-promotion. Advertising this #Mastodon instance by handing out mini-zines at upcoming #punk and #ska shows.

The zine includes a word search, crossword, maze, jokes page and more.

I can make the PDF available later if anyone's into that.

Friendly reminder that you can support #Skastodon and help take back the Internet from corporate social media.

You're already doing both of those things just by being here. But if you want to help financially, please consider donating.

#Mastodon

Stayed up last night putting this business card to promote the place. Getting more people here is a pretty big goal for the rest of the year.

#Skastodon
#Mastodon
#Ska
#Punk
#Reggae
#Rocksteady

Fun fact: #Skastodon was predicted in the late 60s when a person named "Toots" started making #Ska, #Rocksteady and #Reggae.

While #Ska and #punk will always be the primary focus of #Skastodon, this is a space for any and all well-meaning users.

As long as you believe in #unity and #inclusion, you're welcome to call this place home.

This is a place for rudies and punks, but also for anyone else, as long as you get along with others.

And if you see harassment or intolerance, use the report function. That's what it's here for.

Thanks for being here! This place isn't anything without you!

Here are two of the finished #Skastodon #Rainbow buttons.

My button press is being a bit weird, and some of them aren't crimping properly. I'm told the paper I used might be a bit too thick.

Doing up a small batch of #rainbow #Skastodon buttons for #PrideMonth. I'm pressing 24 of the logo and 24 of the mascot.

Here's what they look like before getting cut and pressed.
