Comment:
Made for my friend Julie and her husband Nyoman, who recently came home from Bali, and just in time apparently. Ska is quite popular there, I guess, and they're looking for some new stuff to listen to. Thanks again to Gerry McDonald for his awesome ska and reggae mix, a lot of these song come from that.Regrettably not much in the way of newer ska groups but I personally prefer the older stuff and the British Two-Tone stuff any way.Feedback:
gorgeous, wonderful this should been plyed here right now to rise the temperature, it's 4 below zero and the snow is falling
this is bloody excellent. congratulations! Selecter, the Specials, Black Uhuru, Desmond Dekker (my personal favorite). wow. this is one rude mix.
and yes, the older ska is better, in my opinion.
Wonderful. Love the Selecter and Special tracks especially.
great great stuff here - I may have to dig out my ska stuff and give it another listen...
..it's ALL good greaseball! I'm with you on the "older stuff and Two-Tone"...
superb. Lots of my favourite ska tunes on here. I listened to a lot of this stuff when I was younger and I still dig it. Great Susan Cadogan, Selector, black uhuru and Dandy livingston pix.
Looks great, Cam.
cool! a million points for this mix.
Kick ass! I don't want to be a name-dropper but a couple years ago I had dinner (and a lovely tour of London) with Andy Cox of the English Beat. He's married to a friend of a friend. Super swell guy (with a really nice flat!) He has a new band now, though I can't recall their name.
Fantastic Ska Sampler, my favorite eras too!
