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.

I started last night’s show with the debut of the new Ska’s The Limit Theme Song, by Matt Wixson.  Wixson also makes music under the name Babylon Party Machine, and I offer up two of his mash-ups right off the bat.  Then, after a quick overview of Symarip we got into some Cops and Robbers themed ska and reggae.  Then I finished you off, with a whole lotta aggressive dub.  And, once again, I completely forgot to mention this site on the air.  What is wrong with me?

If the playlist looks good to you, head on over to STL’s page on KDHX.org and stream it to your brain.
