    The Slackers - Old Dog

    youtube.com/watch?v=qnaiKvF3Pd

    🎶
    I wish my master had the heart not to shoot his old dog,
    But I have no teeth left and I'm pink just like a hog
    If I could have one more time
    [...]
    As I lay here down, sleep fills my eyes,
    I hear my master load his gun and then he shoots me twice.
    As I fade to black, I think about my youth,
    The days when I was strong and the world was so new.
    If I could have one more time
    🎶

  2. @petrillic I mean, for me right now, in the words of #TheSlackers, every day is Sunday

    and Friday never comes 😞

  3. holy shit, #TheSlackers song “Statehouse" from their 2022 album (Don't Let The Sunlight Fool Ya) made me LOL. it's literally a song about the Confederate flag coming down from the South Carolina statehouse in 2015. like, VERY literally. fuckin lol.

    Complete with the choir call/response in the background singing “down at the state house” each verse 🤣

  4. Huh. This whole time, I thought Glen Pine (second vocalist, and trombonist, on #TheSlackers) was a Black dude, based on his singing voice. Nope, whyte boy from Boston! Can't tell whether I should be impressed or slightly weirded out.

    Like, a lot of white folks singing #ska affect a clear Jamaican accent influence, but most of them sound exactly like that: white voices, with influence.

    Glen, tho…😳 Also, to be clear, THE GUY CAN SING. Just in general.

  5. It's such a joy digging up new #music by artists you love but haven't kept track of.

    Case in point: I got really into #TheSlackers (#ska and related genres) around 2006 or so, going by the albums I already had. Surprise! They kept going!!

    Really digging a few tracks off of, for example, /The Boss Harmony Sessions/, such as this one: theslackers.bandcamp.com/track #Bandcamp #BandcampFriday #TheMoneyStillGoesToTheArtistsForNow

  6. My flexi-disc arrived featuring #BrianFallon and #Catbite performing "Yes It's True" by #TheSlackers.

    Looking forward to seeing Catbite soon.
