That's over 60 here

Yeah, I guess $40k is around £25k, which is not so great.

There was this story recently enough:

Money and happiness: When does an extra dollar stop making us more content.

75k USD a year is what you need to be paid to be happy working some useless pretend job

What's useless or pretend about 75k?

Yeah, I guess $40k is around £25k, which is not so great.

With the current exchange rate it's fairly great. Ah, life in poorsville.

What's useless or pretend about 75k?

Yeah, I guess $40k is around £25k, which is not so great.

And to think that not so long ago £22k was considered alright.

Would have been briefly a floor filler at yer local indie disco. Largely forgotten now though. Poor the Rakes

You're not 'with it', Johnny

Well, whatever passed for 'with it' 10 years ago anyway.

NME actually had a 'summer of ska' in 2005, where they tried to convince everyone that the Ordinary Boys and the Dead 60's were the future of music.

The Rakes had a take on it as well, kinda Citizen Fish-y

My mates were mates with the Dead 60s singer. Went boozing with him a few times.
Nice bloke. Mad into fashion. Or style moreso.

I figured they were never going to make it if he was hanging out with us.

 

[therealjohnny]

I like those Rakes songs. I liked the Dead60s and the Oridnary Boys too

the little I've heard of them

Maybe the "Summer of Ska" will be embraced by the next generation and we'll all pretend we were there

We call these "Mods"

Their album was caught up in that Sony rootkit scandal, I remember it caused a lot of hassle at the time

Sony BMG copy protection rootkit scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

tbh I don't remember the album being any good either but this didn't help
