Just worked out today actually I've been listening to Less than Jake for 24 years this year (I discovered them in the Digimon Movie like a legend) haha
Saw them live at Reading festival. As soon as the first 4 notes were played the entire crowd of 20k+ people went absolutely mental. Fastest circle pit formation ive ever seen. Good times.
I love Less Than Jake. They're such a great band with simple, fun songs. Chris and Roger are a pretty good singing duo. Their music videos are hilarious. Horns are great. This album was the perfect balance of ska, horns, and rock/punk. It was recorded independently, then picked up by Fat Wreck Chords. It has a much warmer sound, good bass, and a balanced mix moreso than Anthem and In With The Out Crowd (although I like those albums, too).
Just saw them live in Tacoma last night. Hello Rockview front to back, they sounded great and closed it out with Gainsville Rock City which is such a perfect set ender for them! Been listening for 20+ years and here's to 20+ more!!
This album was in my CD player alarm clock in high school. I woke up to Less Than Jake every morning. Big influence on my musical preferences going forward. Still jamming out to them.
This map Hung up on the truck stop hallway door Is looking worn And I can hardly read it anymore I feel like I'm a speck thrown on the map and I can't help my urge to laugh I never used to feel like that Well I'm half awake And half a world away All my past mistakes And every misspent day I wouldn't have it any other way I'll try Through my haze and half shut eyes To count up all the reasons why I should be back at home tonight Well I'm half awake Half a world away All my past mistakes And every misspent day Proves that I'll never change I'll always stay the same I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way Gainesville, Rock City Gainesville, Rock City Gainesville, Rock City Well I'm half awake, A world away My past mistakes And this wasted day I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way Yeah!
If you listen to all Less Than Jake album, all these pictures are also featured on their other songs, like Nervous in the alley, Liquor store, Sub urban Myth and many more
My son just found them asking if I ever heard of them. Got me nostalgic. My kids was like I only recognize Gator Beverage. Gainesville is definitely different.
true mate, I was late to Less than Jake and this is the 1st song I have listened to back in 2006. I was so down back then but found a happy place with LTJ and ska in general.
@@JourneyMan86 There is (was but still kinda there) a alley way behind all the shops on University Avenue. It was kind of driveable but not really and there was another part that was super sketchy and only walkable. Near the University and in the middle of where most young people were hanging out back then.
[It's 2024, you finally pop in your copy of GTA6, it's set in the state of florida, it's the first mission, you jump into a car... this is the first song that plays] 🤞
I heard this song for the first time and lived in central New York. I had no idea where Gainesville even was. I've been living here in Gainesville since 2007 now 😂

The plaza triplex right next to Pic n save and godfathers pizza. I completely forgot how that place looked before UF took over. Give it 5 years and the oaks mall will be nothing but Shands.
the record store in this video I would frequent all the time just down the road from thar record store against me would play shows at a friend's house..
I heard 'Losing Streak' and The Suicide Machines 'Destruction by Definition' at pretty much the same time back in '96. Til that time, I refused to listen to "new" ska- I used to argue that no band comes close to how good or original or feels as important as Op Ivy so why bother listening to lesser bands that all sound similar to each other, unless a band did something different or took the style down a new path like Sublime, I wouldnt even bother..... What got me to pull my head outta my all knowing teen ass, were the lyrics to both albums- they weren't goofy or stupid, that shit came from real places and meant something. I immediately loved both bands and albums and still do today.... So much so that I still catch LTJ when they come through town.... even if I promised myself I'd never be the old guy at the show... but fuck that, you see what a dumb asshole the kid who made that promise was, he didn't know shit about shit!!
Okay, love you guys! Love the love of the LTJ... but could we normalize changing? Let's all change and grow and become better! Because the truth is, that we all ARE, and that 90% of the changes are for the better! Otherwise we wouldn't have made the change! So please guys, let's not glorify any sentiments like "I'll never change". Maybe specify that they way you'd like to remain the same is that you'll always love everyone! That's much better! But most of us NEED to change... ... I am truly yelling self help and therapy into the void... this is how I spend my weekends in my 40s apparently...
Been 2 decades listening to them. “I’ll never change, I’ll always stay the same!” Still at 40 years old rock my chucks, bracelets and t-shirts

Fuck this makes me homesick... RIP 1982, Tim and Terrys, Burrito Brothers, Leonardo's 706. Miss you Gainesville :(
I swear these guys have some of the catchiest songs ever.
FUCKIN FACTS DJFJSNFN
On an old school Ska buzz today, this was always a standout track IMO
Found this song again after 15 years ... nostalgia is real!!!
This album was in my CD player alarm clock in high school. I woke up to Less Than Jake every morning. Big influence on my musical preferences going forward. Still jamming out to them.
Same exact story here, except I woke up to the album losing streak!
Thinking back to the last time I saw them live. I was standing at the bar and they started the set with this song. Just joy.
This map
Hung up on the truck stop hallway door
Is looking worn
And I can hardly read it anymore
I feel like
I'm a speck thrown on the map and
I can't help my urge to laugh
I never used to feel like that
Well I'm half awake
And half a world away
All my past mistakes
And every misspent day
I wouldn't have it any other way
I'll try
Through my haze and half shut eyes
To count up all the reasons why
I should be back at home tonight
Well I'm half awake
Half a world away
All my past mistakes
And every misspent day
Proves that I'll never change
I'll always stay the same
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
Gainesville, Rock City
Gainesville, Rock City

Well I'm half awake,
A world away
My past mistakes
And this wasted day
I wouldn't have it any other way

Yeah!
Man, this takes me back to high school. Listening to this on a cassette mix tape my friend made me in my 1993 Honda Accord.
2:09 - 2:22 best part!! Not heard this song in over a decade.
I just can't get over how amazing these guys are. So much talent. I will be rocking to them until my death bed❤️🤘
So this is what nostalgia sounds like. 2:24 is genuinely one of the best breakdowns of all time.
I remember hearing this song for the first time 3 years ago and omg the way it takes me back to being 13 all over again
2:50 I get chills!!
It doesn't get any better than Less Than Jake!! Thanks for all the music over the years, boys!
It's kind of fun to see what is there, gone, or has changed if you're from Gainesville Rock City and still there for 33 years.
I forgot about this song for like over 10 years. Amazing memories this triggers in me of college days
Always and forever one of my favorite bands
Miami hurricanes man here, but this song is my hands down favorite song of all time!!! 🤞
I love listening to this song when I'm travelling.
been loving this damn album since it’s release, damn we old!
One of my all time faves
I'm in a punk band me and my brother started right outside of Gainesville Florida..
If you listen to all Less Than Jake album, all these pictures are also featured on their other songs, like Nervous in the alley, Liquor store, Sub urban Myth and many more
This song never gets old!
Ska for the win
I still listening this great song in 2020
the lyrics in this song exemplify the life of a touring punk rock/ska band
Chorus is a true story 😂 💜💜💜 the memories from this song omg!!
I'm from Gainesville, I loved going to see hot water music every chance I got. I think because they were from there but I miss them.
Favorite Less than Jake song. Love it!
I love this song, so boss! Drags me right back to the 90s, love it!
Can't wait to see theses guys live this Wednesday in Belfast Ireland, it's a band I thought I would never see live, such a treat!!!!
Ahhhh Ska takes me back man 😁🤘
This song always brings tears to my eyes, and I have no idea why :)
Because the show is over after this.
@@coreyhower3897 Dude, so true
Oh sh*t the world needs more of this!!!
I lived there for a minute... Got familiar with em through friends. They loved it that I was from Pittsburgh and I knew Cheese.
This map. Half awake half a world away. I wouldn't have it any other way!

This song saved my life...

I remember seeing these guys play the Astoria in London. That was a fucking awesome gig 🤘
Best venue ever
I’m in love with this comment
Smoke, Gator Beverage, Dollar Theater, The alley, so much history.

What is the story with the alley?

I can get into this music. Great video.
Nostalgia level at danger
ALL TIME!
I wouldn't have it any other way
This was my jam on Kerrang in 2000
my first concert :)
everything about Less than Jake make me also think about Bert Kreischer. You Florida people know how to live it up!
Wish Smoke was still there, lots of memories. At least Gator Beverage is still around.
Killer song that totally rocks.
Real beer. Priceless
So many memories!!
Song is still fire

2026 most likely
LTJ deserve to be featured on the GTA 6 soundtrack, for sure!
How does this only have 66,085 views?
Not a great album, but a pretty shit hot song?
Don’t worry. I’ll boost it to over a million shortly on my own. I love this song
I heard this song for the first time and lived in central New York. I had no idea where Gainesville even was. I've been living here in Gainesville since 2007 now 😂
Buena recomendación del compa Roberto 😅🤟
very good, the sound of you! by chance you do not have the scores of the Winds to make available?
That chorus though...
Captain Howdy idk, I love that grutty style of singing
Indie Rock my butt dude... SKA PUNK! Although somewhat lacking the SKA beat xD
First live band I ever saw. 2005/6?
Gainesville home of the great Rodney Mullen
I'm sorry but Rodney Mullen wasn't great, he was the greatest.
2:13 HELL YEAH!! SMASH MOUTH REPRESENT
