Hello and thanks for checking out another episode of Ska’s The Limit.

There was no overreaching theme, last night- no particular sub-genre was explored- no time was spent lingering in a particular genre- just a lot of great ska and reggae scorchers.  I poked a little fun at ballsey white Rastas by playing Rocker T and JFK and The Conspirators on either end of Ras Trent.

Ska-Punk was peppered throughout, as I featured some of my favorite groups from the Do The Dog label in England.  In fact, last night featured quite a bit more Ska-Punk than usual, still I had too many calls from the listeners complaining of too much Reggae on the Ska show.

I have no respect for this way of thinking, but here’s your ska-punk.  Maybe next week, I’ll try to make the case that Reggae is actually a huge part of today’s Ska scene.

I have much work to do.  You can stream this episode from KDHX.org for the next two weeks.
