60 Songs That Explain the '90s' Rob Harvilla on The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' "The Impression That I Get"
Welcome to Season 5 of In Defense of Ska! After a quick break for the holidays, hosts Aaron Carnes and Adam Davis are back for even more ska-tastic interviews, conversations, and analysis. To kick off the new season, the crew invites music critic Rob Harvilla (of the 60 Songs That Explain the ’90s podcast) to chat about '90s music, ska erasure, and the songs that defined the 2000s. Listen now.
As the host of 60 Songs That Explain the ’90s, Harvilla explored quite a few tunes that defined one of pop-culture's most beloved decades. And yet, despite re-upping to make the total number of songs discussed 120, there wasn't one proper ska song (not even, to the hosts dismay, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' hit “The Impression That I Get!"). Well, In Defense of Ska wants answers.
In addition to Harvilla's thoughts on the project and the influence of ska, he reveals his history of playing bass in the ska band Skantily Plaid. He also touches on his latest venture, which takes a look at the songs that explain the 2000s.
