??? you have to be from indiana. as entertaining as these guys were live, i can think of 2,000 other 3rd wave ska bands that are much better then johnny socko. and i'm not even that big a fan of ska.

The problem with me doing a list like this is that it could change overnight.

way too true. i'll throw some of my current favorites

1. weakerthans (this will be in almost any top 5 i ever come up with at any given time)
2. mates of state (have been really digging this band lately)
3. mountain goats
4. new pornographers
5. black keys

my problem is i really get into a band listen to them a lot then burn myself out on them.

prime example is pavement/stephen malkamus. for some reason they were popping up on my itunes like every 3rd song and i was getting so sick of hearing them that i can't listen to them now, lest i hate them for years.

From Massachusetts, but went to grad school at Purdue. I was thinking of their live performances... very fun.

Swap them with the Pilfers if you wish, then.
