If you were with us, last night, you heard a plethora of various Ska sub-genres.  I was playing popular Ska styles like, Latin Ska, Acoustic Ska and Cowboy Ska- as well as little-known branch themes like, Pirate Ska and the House Music inspired, Skacid.  Check out the playlist below, and the fun links that I’ve added to them.

If you missed any or all of the show and you want to check it out, click on over to KDHX.org and have a listen.  As always, the show will be up for two weeks.

This last episode was a blast!  I’ve noticed that in recent weeks I’ve been playing more reggae than ska, and considering that this is a ska show, I used this week’s episode to rectify that.  This was an all-Ska episode- mostly from original 60′s artists with a few of the Neo-Traditionalists peppered throughout.  As always, you can stream this episode for two weeks at KDHX.org.
