Hell of a Hat
Author: Kenneth Partridge
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271090537
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
In the late ’90s, third-wave ska broke across the American alternative music scene like a tsunami. In sweaty clubs across the nation, kids danced themselves dehydrated to the peppy rhythms and punchy horns of bands like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish. As ska caught fire, a swing revival brought even more sharp-dressed, brass-packing bands to national attention. Hell of a Hat dives deep into this unique musical moment. Prior to invading the Billboard charts and MTV, ska thrived from Orange County, California, to NYC, where Moon Ska Records had eager rude girls and boys snapping up every release. On the swing tip, retro pioneers like Royal Crown Revue had fans doing the jump, jive, and wail long before The Brian Setzer Orchestra resurrected the Louis Prima joint. Drawing on interviews with heavyweights like the Bosstones, Sublime, Less Than Jake, and Cherry Poppin' Daddies—as well as underground heroes like Mustard Plug, The Slackers, Hepcat, and The New Morty Show—Kenneth Partridge argues that the relative economic prosperity and general optimism of the late ’90s created the perfect environment for fast, danceable music that—with some notable exceptions—tended to avoid political commentary. An homage to a time when plaids and skankin’ were king and doing the jitterbug in your best suit was so money, Hell of a Hat is an inside look at ’90s ska, swing, and the loud noises of an era when America was dreaming and didn’t even know it.

Book Description
I fell in love with two men. I thought being with them both—at the same time—would be complicated. But it was easy. It was perfect. One of them was twice my age. The other was the boy I’d grown up with. Both of them were so very different, but they gave me exactly what I wanted, exactly what I needed. Ryker was a bad boy with looks, the one I'd given my first everything to. He was also my best friend. Jareth was older, refined, and experienced. He was dominant, skilled, and I felt fragile when I was with him. He was also my boss. Although they were possessive and jealous where I was concerned, they accepted I was in a relationship with both of them. Ryker and Jareth only demanded one thing from me—to only be with them. Would I ever have to pick between them? How wrong would it be if I kept them both?
