Old Skool Joint of the Week (Redux)

Remember how over a month ago I said that I was starting a new feature on this blog to try and generate some regular content, except it was a complete and utter failure? No? Okay, well that doesn't matter. Point is, I'm going to try that one again by bringing you another shot of 90s nostalgia:

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - "The Impression That I Get"

With their ska beats the Bosstones had more than a few kids skanking in their Doc Martens with their plaid shirts tied around their waists. The horn section also helped hundreds of band geeks believe there was a place for them beyond the half-time show of their highschool's football games. The band also scores major 90s points for appearing in one of the greatest teen movies of all time, Clueless. I'm also pretty sure there's some Sabrina the Teenage Witch connection to this song, but I'm blanking right now. Anyway:





Fun Fact: I almost missed the Bosstones' set at the first Warped Tour I went to because some guy wanted me to listen to his band's demo on a discman he brought. Times sure were tough in the days before MySpace.
