[In Defense of Ska @indefenseofska]

We got a great NOT-ska band on the show this week. @BLAMMOSTHEBAND. But, they have a lot to say about ska. Arthur and Jimmy talk about their other (currently on hiatus) NOT-ska band The Phenomenauts (who toured with many ska bands), The Slackers, Kongo Shock, Red Session and more

Barnes and Noble in Philadelphia at 6p. Thursday, 12/5. See you there!!!!

[In Defense of Ska @indefenseofska]

Budgie from Siouxsie and the Banshees joins us. But our main interest was learning about what it was like to drum on the The Slits iconic "Cut" album. We also break down the obvious reggae influences of recordings, and discuss what it was like to work with producer Dennis Bovell

[In Defense of Ska @indefenseofska]

Guess who's hardly done interviews and is finally given the royal treatment on In Defense of Ska? Lots of history of a great skacore band that emerged during ska's low point in the US (the mid-2000s). Also lots of unhinged tour stories. Bongzilla gets mentioned! Not to be missed!

[In Defense of Ska @indefenseofska]

San Francisco! Has there ever been a day with more ska?

Mark your calendars for Nov 21. At 7p, head over to Green Apple Books In The Park (1231 9th Ave) and catch some Ska-ducation with me and @lauraalbert (ie JT Leroy--"Sarah" and "The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things.")
