This day is not July 1st.
Numbers is part of the old testament, before the calendar counting the days since Christ. It's referring to the Jewish calendar instead.
In Judaism, the year starts on Rosh Hashanah, which usually occurs around mid-September. The first day of the 7th month would be somewhere in March.
Still doesn't seem like Easter.
I don't care. I will take any excuse to listen to some Madness or the mighty mighty bosstones (ska fanatics please spare me i know the specials and selector exist...)
Ska fanatics would probably listen to Desmond Dekker or Justin Hinds that day.
It makes me so happy to see first wave recognized
People so rarely know
Little Jackmove maybe

Christians should do a ska assembly on Rosh Hashanah!
Actually this is about Rosh Hashanah, which is the first day of the seventh month despite being the beginning of the year. Calendars are fun.
How is the first day of the seventh month also the beginning of the year on the same calendar?
Well, you know how the school year starts in September, and the fiscal year starts in July, and the calendar year starts in January, and those are all in the Gregorian calendar? Its sorta like that.
This is a super meh format for the meme but it's the same text so you get the idea
If Toyotathon and Shark Week were made holidays I certainly wouldn't complain.
I want some Shark Week carols, and not that fog machine evangelical grade stuff. Something epic like "O Holy Sharks of the Dark Night Sea" or something lol
If the woke get their way, pretty soon we won't have shark carols anymore they'll be illegal
Ew an ad
It's not just ska, I'm a firm believer that a horn section makes any song better.
Rap example:
I'm honestly impressed with the video more than anything. Fantastic camera work and editing
Yeah, all her videos are that level.
Tobe Nwigwe makes really good ones too, but he's slowed down a little recently.
more like rad example, am i right
Can I get a rudeboi Jesus, skankin it in OG holiday fashion?
Sure bro, that sounds like it's within operational parameters
Sounds like something we should pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!
I think we should take it one step beyond.
I think I'll have myself a beer instead.
No regular work. Sounds great
Only irregular work. Forbidden work.
I'm up for it. As an American, this could easily turn into a week off work with July 4th just a few days later. Music, fireworks, and good food! It'll be a great time!
Y'all deserve it with how little vacation time some of you get. I’m over here enjoying my bare minimum 28 annual days of PTO (though we count weekends unlike some other countries nearby)
I had to look it up. It's referring to Rosh Hashanah. It's based on the Jewish Calendar.
Rosh Hashanah
I don't know them. I haven't followed Ska since the 90s.
You haven’t? That’s madness!
Madness?!?
HEY YOU!
It's the perfect day to bid people welcome to (god's) tragic kingdom!
You came in with the breeze on Sunday morning...
It really is one of those rare flawless albums where not only is there no bad or even mediocre songs, but every single one is an absolute banger!
It's still one of my all time favourite albums. 😌
Nowadays it's more like what's your favourite YouTube channel and the world is a new and scary type of crazy. 😔
Anybody else got Reel Big Fish bouncing around their head right now?
RBF, Jeff Rosenstock, and Streetlight Manifesto. 24/7.
Wouldn't it technically be the first of September? The actual 7th month?
If we’re going by the Hebrew calendar it would be Rosh Hashanah, which starts on the first of the seventh month, which this year is on September 22
Duh, right. L'shahnah tova!
As a Gentile I always appreciated the day off around my birthday
This tracks because the only good modern Christian band I can think of is Five Iron Frenzy
Looks like Canadians are the true followers of Christ.
Context
July 1st is Canada Day, which is a national holiday. It’s Canada’s version of July 4th.
So TMBG seems to have a permanent horn section. Are they ska now?
