im not doing topsters rn but i got this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i'm glad that i really love bad operation's music because if i liked it any less the format of their recent cassette would be intolerable. you wanna listen to some bad operation? well now you're listening to their whole 2020-2026 discography on one tape in chronological order. two albums, an EP, and multiple singles. strap in for a nearly two hour ska experience
So like, what is ska?
Happy Ska Saturday!
This week, I wanted to do a bit of a dive into why I like ska so much, but I think before that it's important to establish what ska actually is.
Ska is a lot of things to a lot of people. It's a specific rhythm and style, it's a vibe, it's a community, it's a culture, and sometimes, it's just "rock with horns."
There is no objective definition for ska, everyone is going to define and categorize it differently, and include different songs among their ranks.
My personal definition of ska is pretty loose overall. A song can be by a ska band but lacking the ska rhythm and I'll still count it as ska, and the same with the inverse.
While I do think it's important that we acknowledge the history and culture around ska, it's a sound before it's anything else. You could make a ska song completely separate from any of that history or culture and I would still call it ska, but that doesn't mean that I'll like it.
When it comes to the ska I like and the ska I seek out, that history and culture is still very important. I like ska that is anti-racist, I like ska that is queer, I like ska based in radical optimism and community.
Ska at its best is all of these things and more, it's a really powerful sound with a long history of unity beyond borders, and I really love that.
I think that's partially why I'd like to push back against seeing ska as just "rock with horns." That definition really undercuts a lot of the genre's history, and a lot of the genre's potential, but it's also just a really lacking definition that's usually based in ignorance of the sounds that actually make up ska music. You can have no horns at all and still have a wonderful ska song.
Song of the week:
There's a new Bad Operation song out, so I'd be silly to put anything else here. I pushed back against the "rock with horns" take earlier, but another misconception I feel the need to push back against is that ska is dead. It's not dead, and it never died, and if you ever want to get slapped in the face for thinking that you need to listen to Bad Operation.

Lyrics:
I’m workin’ real hard to let go Can’t call the fight Cuz I’m one with the flow I’m working real hard to let go My mind is swingin swingin swingin KO Highs and lows Just how it goes Pride and shame Is all the same I’m chasing you down You push me away I get back up Trying again This sick cycle Never ends When I forget It all falls away I’m workin real hard to let go Can’t call the fight Cuz I’m one with the flow I’m working real hard to let go My mind is swingin swingin swingin KO Returning to the scene like I never left it Living just to breathe cuz I mastered the technique I can see you but you don’t see me Cuz you staring in fear like it's 1960 I’m chasing you down You push me away I get back up I’m trying again This sick cycle Never ends When I forget It all falls away I’m workin real hard to let go Can’t call the fight Cuz I’m one with the flow I’m working real hard to let go My mind is swingin swingin swingin KO I’m workin real hard to let go Can’t call the fight Cuz I’m one with the flow I’m working real hard to let go My mind is swingin swingin swingin KO
