The 2-tone movement is well documented as a political project — anti-racism, Thatcher's Britain, etc. And obviously ska's Jamaican roots have deep social meaning.

But I'm curious about cases where the genre got picked up in other political contexts. Latin America during the dictatorships era, Southern Europe, Eastern Europe post-wall.

There's something interesting about the offbeat as a political gesture — like, rhythmically you're always landing on the "wrong" beat. Which feels apt.

Anyone know bands or recordings where that connection was intentional and explicit? Even obscure stuff, especially obscure stuff.

I've been a Premier subscriber since before April 14. On that date I tried to upgrade from monthly to annual billing. The payment failed, Stripe retried automatically 29 times, got stuck, and now my account is flagged as past_due.

Here's what happened since then:

- Support told me access had been restored. It wasn't.

- I was escalated to the billing team. Twice. No action.

- I added THREE credit cards. Nothing changed.

- I offered to pay via Pix (Brazil). No response.

- I received multiple promises of resolution "within 24-48 hours." None kept.

I still cannot download WAV files (which I need for my professional YouTube channels). I still cannot pay for the annual plan. I still have no full Premium access.

Support has confirmed IN WRITING that the fix is simple: void invoice PROM9ZKS-0014 and generate a fresh payment link. They just... haven't done it. For almost a month.
