I MADE A SKA! This is a song I've been trying to get right since high school. You don't wanna heard the old attempts. You don't. This song features Odd Austin on guitar and bass and the lovely miss Lindsay Smith on saxomophone and clarinet.
Witty comments here.
This song is now available on the following CDs:

You just consistently release pure win, man. This turned out great. Lindsay did a great job, and the final vocals rock!

This is pretty good, but I would never call it ska.

Please to be explaining, Dinosaur Michael.

I don't know what exactly makes something ska, but I had thought that it involved the use of brass, like trumpets and trombones, rather than saxomophones and clarinets. But that's just me.

I've heard ska without any horns.

I wouldn't classify it as Third Wave Ska,aka Ska Punk. It's more reminiscent of Jamaica-ish First Wave Ska. Certainly Ska, though.

When I think of ska, I generally think of Third Wave Ska (ie: Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, etc.) Which does involve a horn section (brass, not woodwind), a very fast and energetic tempo.
Don't get me wrong, I like the song... I'm just not hearing the ska. Am I wrong?

Naw, dood. There are, like, two whole other waves. Think aboot it: The Specials, Madness, and Reel Big Fish are all considered ska bands, but they each sound very different from one another, "Pressure Drop" is just as much ska as "Sell Out". Anyway, it's not that important that this song be considered ska anyway, I just thought it was a no-brainer. I find it funny (through my reactions both here and DA) that some resist calling it ska, and then others take no issue with it.

Fun, witty song, Kyle (and musicians). It reminds me of something... I forget at the moment.
