Friends of Entropic Life, lend me your ears…
This week is ska week. There’s something about ska that picks me up when I’m down. Maybe it’s the beat…or the bass-line…or the horns. Who knows? It’s been a long week and this has been getting me by. So, without further a do, let’s go old school…
Reel Big Fish- An old fav in my collection. Thanks to Rob C. for reminding me of these guys. This is She Has a Girlfriend Now. Bear through the first thirty seconds or so to get to the good stuff.
The Specials – Always loved this band. If you saw the Specials patch on the sleeve in the first video, there’s a reason. First time I heard A Message to You Rudy, I flipped out. I bought this other UK music mag a few months ago because it had an article on the boys…in SPITE of the big, ugly mug of Neil Young on the cover which would adorn my coffee table. This says volumes of my love for the Specials. Here is a nice live version from ’79.
Bob Marley- Before he and the Wailers went global with rock steady, he was skanking in dancehalls. This one, One Cup of Coffee, is another fav of mine. If you like this one, try Judge Not, too.
That’s it class. Hope you had a great week! Remember your safety briefing for the weekend…
If you’re gonna drink, don’t drive. AND…
If you’re gonna swim, swim with a buddy.
Later.
