It was a rainy 4th of July, and the streets were quiet, but if you were listening to KDHX, you heard a killer two hours of Ska and Reggae.  I started the show off with six tracks from the Asian Man catalog-  it’s hard to make a living running a completely DIY ska/punk record label, and I sent off my appriciation to the one, Mike Park.

As the show progressed, I dropped a lot of new stuff-  from Spain’s Liquidator records, a couple of cuts from La Famillia Torelli and Contratempo-  two brand new Aggrolites songs, covers in fact, from the Endless Bummer Soundtrack, Ghost Town and Pass the Dutchie-  brand new tunes from Rancid, Vic Ruggiero, The Titans and The Pepper Pots-  all this, plus classic hits from The Rhythm Rulers, Sublime, Clive Wilson, The Drastics and so much more.  Truely a mixed bag.  If you missed the show on Sat, you can always click over to the STL page at KDHX.org and listen to the archive.
