Playlist for Ska’s the Limit on October 25, 2009

2009 has shaped up to be quite a year for new Ska and Reggae releases. Just last week, I acquired brand new material from King Django, The Slackers, Chris Murray and Go Jimmy Go.  As it follows, I brought all that down to the station, last night, for your listening pleasure.  Just to keep things on that new tip, I also debuted new stuff from The Specials, Ken Boothe, Dawn Penn, Unlikely Alibi, Bedouin Soundclash and so much more.

 

New stuff is my favorite stuff.  If you missed your chance at the live broadcast, click on over to KDHX.org for the archived stream.
