  I have no idea about ska, but Last.fm is pretty good for the kind of stuff I listen to.

  Five Iron Frenzy's early stuff was very ska, later morphing into more of a rock/punk/ska/something sound. But that hinges on whether or not you like your music with a religious frosting on top.

  I have some unsigned, horn-heavy, home-grown UK ska I could send you if you're interested.

  Darn you Bob, I wanted to suggest them. Yes, their lyrics are overtly spiritual, but the music is amazingly good, especially the early albums. The last three, not so much. Look up Upbeats and Beatdowns, Our Newest Album Ever, and Quantity is Job One (the Pants Opera is worth it by itself).
