I'm old enough to have bought John Kongos' original as a new release and laughed at the Happy Mondays version. This however, is fabulous. Original Gravity Records produce some great stuff!


I love these ska classics that you post. They are all added to my ska/rocksteady Spotify playlist 8)


Ha! You young people and your Spotify. :D

The best St. Patrick's Day song - Thousands are Sailing.

I'd like to dedicate it to the Grand Marshal of the parade in NYC today, who segued from the potato famine & associated death & emigration into discussing poverty and food insecurity in NYC today. On international television.

You earned that sash, King.

Hinterland - Radiators From Space
https://open.spotify.com/track/2O6k2xNU0KiGFRyVC1ribP

"Out here in the hinterland
we live like kings,
feasting on the plenty
that every harvest brings.
Don't say our riches lie beneath the sands
of godforsaken holy lands..."


Love this one so much.

Was working somewhere that played that shitty bands songs at least twice an hour. :roll:

A British floor manager put Elton John on loop for an entire day as well.
All the bad songs.

If I never see or hear another hipster dufus, brown hat wearing, Tahoe-sy folk sing-y, pale-ale, 50% married foursome
again it’ll be too soon.

There was a skinny, brown hat, beardy dude one long night who actually worked it into his set that he couldn’t change his facial hair because he was cast in an actual moo-vie. :roll:

We were all “Calm down Justin Timberlake.”
