I. Hey everybody. Thanks for visiting my page. This page has been around for a number of years now, in several different incarnations, and it has moved around a bit too. You may have seen it at members.aol.com/skaman105/, or at members.xoom.com/skaman105/. There are still files there, but I don't use most of them. Anyway, this is the latest and best version of the page, and I hope you like it.
II. All of the artwork incorporated into my site, except for banners and the like, is original work I've created myself. Most of it was created from ink drawings scanned and colored in paint, with special effects added using CorelDraw. Feel free to save or print out any of the art work. If you want, I can even send you high-res versions. But, I'd appreciate it if you refrained from uploading it to a web site, unless you want to give me credit for it, and link to my page. Thanks.
III. I 've been listening to the Bosstones for a
while now. If you're new to the Bosstones, my I suggest you check out these.
If you can only own three Bosstones CDs they should be these:
More Noise and Other Disturbances- In my opinion the best bosstones album. Best songs: He's Back, and They Came to Boston. This CD kicks ass.
Devil's Night Out- The Bosstones' first album, back in the hardcore days. Devil's Night Out, A Little Bit Ugly, The Cave, there's just too many classics to name.
Ska-Core, The Devil and More- The EP to end all EPs. Filled to the brim with classic Bosstones.
IV. Some other music I like, and suggest you check out ASAP-
Fifteen - punk rock with a social conscience from Berkeley, CA. This is one of my absolute favorite bands. They absolutely rule. Click here to check out a fifteen fan site, where you can listen to some awesome music.
Rancid - The classic punks. They're a great band that just keeps getting better. The new self-titled CD is fantastic. Click here to get to their official site.
NOFX - These guys are funny as hell, and the music is great. Official Site.
Flogging Molly - Great tunes, and an even better live show. This is a great band. www.floggingmolly.com
And a brief list of some other great bands: Millencollin, Weston, Bad Religion, Dropkick Murphys, and there's more, but this is all I can think of at the moment.
V. CDs that you should buy right now:
Fifteen - Hush
Fifteen - Lucky
Rancid - self titled 2000
Rancid - And Out Come the Wolves
NOFX - Punk in Drublic
Flogging Molly - Swagger
Weston - A Real-life story of teenage rebellion
Dropkick Murphys - Do or Die
VI. Finally, thanks to everyone who has helped me with the page from time to time, particularly my friend Kyle, the CyberKlee. And to everyone who didn't help: cash donations are accepted. And, to everyone who's stumbled onto this page some how or other: Thanks a lot.
-Nick
