Video
=====

   Subject: 2.5: Is anyone doing ska video?

   Yes.  Bradford Stein has finished a West Coast ska-umentary called
`The Ska Parade'. The 30 minute video includes interviews and
performances of Let's Go Bowling, Donkey Show, Skeletones and Jump With
Joey.  [RPM]   Contact him at
"A to Y Productions"

   Recently, Aldis Strazdins started a new ska documentary, focusing on
six Midwestern (US) ska bands, called `Last Train: Ska in the
Heartland'.  The bands are Mustard Plug, Exceptions, Gangster Fun,
Weaker Youth Ensemble, MU330 and High Ball Holiday.  *News! The film is
now in post-production.* More news as it develops.

   A video *has been* produced for Rude Buoy Enterprises by Kane Docker,
containing many of Australia's current ska bands in live and
video-style performances. It is available as of January 1997.

   For details on this new video, please contact:

   See .

   Two Tone released a video called `Two Tone Presents the SPECIAL AKA
On Film' (Chrysalis), which is now out of print.

   More titles, less information:

   `The Specials/Specials AKA'.

   `English Beat', with live clips and videos.

   `Madness - Complete & Utter'.

   `Madness - Madstock', with concert footage.

   `Madness - Take It Or Leave It'.

   `Ska Parade', with California bands including See .

   `Ska Explosion', with 80's British bands like Potato 5.

   `The Amazing Skatalites', Japanese import, available at Tower
Records.

   A new video of Australian ska bands called `Dancecrasher' has just
been released - details to follow as they come in.

   -----------------------------

Movies
======

   Subject: 2.6: Are there any feature-length ska movies?  What other
movies did ska influence.  What about TV shows?

   Yes, there are feature-length ska documentaries, exemplified by
`Dance Craze'.  These include:

   Other movies where ska plays an important role include:

   TV shows where ska plays an important role include:

Dance Craze
-----------

   There is a great concert film by Joe Massot about ska in 1980
Britain called `Dance Craze'. It features live footage of Bad Manners,
The (English) Beat, The Bodysnatchers, Madness, The Specials, The
Selecter.  Rico Rodriques, trombonist from the Skatalites, plays horns
with The Specials.  You can order the video from See , 3022 W.  12 Mile
Rd., Berkely, MI, 48072 USA, (313) 544-2485 (and probably other places,
too).

Take It Or Leave It
-------------------

     `Take it or leave it' is the Madness film - starring the seven
     members of north London ska band See , the 1982 film traces the
     roots of the group, beginning in 1976 or thereabouts. Very
     amateurish in places, and also very funny. Although lead singer
     Suggs went on to do some acting in films, one of the band members
     (drummer Daniel Woodgate) said of `Take It Or Leave It', "it was
     the beginning and end of my acting career".  Available on Virgin
     Video in the UK.

   -Gareth Gee

Back to the Beach
-----------------

   In the beach-blanket revival film with Annette Funicello, `Back to
the Beach', Fishbone backs Annette singing "Jamaican Ska (Do the Ska)"
and the beach crowd skanks away (sort of).

Bang
----

   `Bang', from Eagle Eye Films.
     ... reviewed by Siskel and Ebert on their nationally syndicated
     show (the verdict: one thumb up, one thumb down) and they ran a
     clip that featured The Slackers' "Run Away."  The soundtrack for
     "Bang" is now available from Moon Ska Records and features all
     sorts of cool ska and ska dub from acts like The Toasters,
     Skavoovie & The Epitones, Isaac Green & The Skalars, NY Ska Jazz
     Ensemble, The Articles, Dr. Ring Ding & HP Setter, Ocean 11 and
     many more!

     - shamelessly clipped from `Moon Ska Records News Update (9/26/97)'

The Harder They Come
--------------------

   For real rude boy action, check out `The Harder They Come',
http://us.imdb.com/M/urls?title+Harder+They+Come%2C+The+(1973), Jimmy
Cliff.  This is the seminal feature film from Jamaica.  This is
essentially a true story, about Martin Riggin.  The excellent
soundtrack showcases Jamaican popular music -- ska, rocksteady and
reggae.

`"You Can Get It If You Really Want"'
     By Jimmy Cliff         Composed by Jimmy Cliff

`"Hold Your Brakes"'
     By Scotty         Composed by D Harriot/O Scott

`"Pressure Drop"'

`"Many Rivers To Cross"'

`"Johnny Too Bad"'
     By The Slickers

`"007 Shanty Town"'
     By Desmond Decker         Composed by O Orres

`"Sweet and Candy"'
     By Maytals         Composed by Fredric Hibbert

`"The Harder They Fall"'
     By Jimmy Cliff         Composed by Jimmy Cliff

`"By The River at Babylon"'
     By Melodiana         Composed by B Dows

`"Sitting Here In Limbo"'
     By Jimmy Cliff         Composed by Jimmy Cliff

Marked For Death
----------------

     Not only is there ska being played, but Jimmy Cliff himself is in
     the movie.  Another interesting thing to note is that Steve Segal
     co-wrote a song with Jimmy Cliff.  The songs in the credits are:

      "Roots and Culture" (Shabba Ranks)
      "No Justice"        (Jimmy Cliff)
      "John Crow"         (Jimmy Cliff, Steven Segal and the Oneness Band)
      "Rebel in Me"       (Jimmy Cliff)
      "Steppin' Razor"    (Peter Tosh)
   -Andrew Bauer kaliber@community.net

Quadraphenia
------------

     `Quadrophenia - A Way Of Life' by The Who Films, filmed in 1979
     and set in London and Brighton of 1964. Although more accurately
     described as a "mod" film, this brilliant youth cult movie
     includes some ska background music here and there (I think it's
     the Upsetters) as well as some American soul (Booker T, etc.). It
     also shows how important young black Jamaicans (the sons and
     daughters of 1950's immigrants) were to the mod scene. 'Birdie'
     supplies drugs ('uppers', 'purple hearts', amphetamine, etc.) to
     the mod crowd, but he also supplies *style*. (It was the Jamaican
     rudeboy style that led to many white "mods" becoming "skinheads"
     at the end of the 60's, adopting the music and clothing of the
     young British West Indian community). Also stars Sting as "the ace
     face" and includes music by the Who, Kinks, etc. The film was
     massive in 1980, as it coincided with the mod/ska revival and the
     appearance of the 2-Tone label. The central star of the film, Phil
     Daniels, recently did the vocals on Blur's mod-inspired `Parklife'
     single (1994). `Quadrophenia' is available on Polygram Video in
     the UK.

   -Gareth Gee

Scandal (1989)
--------------

   Lovely ska music swells the soundtrack of Scandal (1989), the story
of the 1963 Profumo affair in the UK.  The soundtrack was released as
`Scandal SKA'.  Fashion tips abound for the trendy rudie or mod.

Kablaam
-------

   Theme song by All-Stars

Police Squad
------------

   There was a brief mention of ska in a humorous moment on `Police
Squad' when Dick Clark asked the informant Johnny the shoeshine man
what ska music was.  The informant suggested that ska would never catch
on, misrepresenting it as "nothing but a modern offshoot of reggae,
with white rock influences".

The Young Ones
--------------

   M.E. Hoetjes reports that "Madness played a couple of times in `The
Young Ones' and The Selecter played there as well."

Zines
=====

   Subject: 2.8: What are some ska-related 'zines (fan-created
magazines)?

   Mike Fragassi, mfragass@ucs.indiana.edu, who supplied much of the
original info in this section, advises (circa 1994):
         I have personally not yet tried any of these, except for the
     WNUR newsletter, from which I have gotten the addresses of all of
     the rest. Some of these seem to be info-sheets for a given band.
     Others are more comprehensive ("Rude" and "F.B.I.", for instance,
     are highly recommended).  All zines should be assumed to be written
     in the language of the country they come from.  Prices are the most
     recent info, again obtained from Chuck Wren's newsletter; neither
     me nor he nor anyone who handed you a copy of this FAQ are
     responsible for mail screw-ups or unreturned money; if in doubt,
     send a business size (Size 10 US or DL international) SASE first.

   More Internet 'zines are indexed in the CRAM index, at this URL:

     You see, me and R.S. (resident skinhead) have begun a scooter zine
     that is chalk full of ska stuff like interviews with the
     skatterbrains and King Apparatus.  Our main focus is on scooters;
     however, ska is an essential component of the Carla Ronci Scooter
     Zine (who's Carla Ronci? she may become the patron saint of the
     scooter).
