Playlist for Ska’s the Limit on January 16, 2010

Here it is… the playlist for my first Ska’s The Limit in it’s new prime time slot!  Sorry to all the kids who called in requests which I wasn’t able to fill, I’ll be able to keep up with you in a couple of weeks.  Last night was your chance to get to know me and the kind of music I play.  Regular listeners from the old time slot will recognize a lot of this material, but I thought I’d give the early evening kids their first listen.

 

As always, KDHX.org will host streaming archives of this episode for the next two weeks.

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.
