Ah, Valentines Day. A day for awkward first dates, overpriced chocolates, and, apparently, falling head over heels in love... with ska. Brace yourselves, ska-natics, because we're about to rewind to that love-drunk day with the one and only Flip from Flip & The Combined Effort!Picture this: a microphone cradled in my nervous hands, a ska beat pulsing through the studio like a caffeine IV, and across from me... Flip. Not flipping burgers, mind you, but flipping the script on our understanding of ska's true depth. We're talking educators-turned-punk-rock-poets, dissecting the genre with more precision than a surgeon wielding a pogo stick.Then came the real mic drop: Flip's insights into the ska scene's rising stars. He namedropped bands faster than a kid at a candy buffet, each pick more surprising than the last. Forget your run-of-the-mill two-tone, we're talking ska infused with punk, ska with a Latin twist, ska that could make your grandma skank (not that I'd recommend it, Nana).So, tune in, skank out, and let Flip's words wash over you like a wave of checkered Vans. This interview's got more heart than a Hallmark greeting card and enough ska to fuel a thousand circle pits at Three Links. It's a love letter to the genre, a testament to its evolution, and a reminder that sometimes, the greatest love stories start with a wobbly skank and a slightly off-key trombone solo. Happy (belated) Valentine's Day, ska fans! Now go forth and spread the love, one pogo at a time.(Disclaimer: Pogoing at your own risk.
