The Ska's The Limit

Posted at 11:47 AM on April 30, 2009 by Steve Seel

That was our topic for today's 9:30 Coffee Break (credit to the great Island Records box set of classic ska recordings for the title). A grey day amidst of series of grey days seemed to call for some sunshine, so we solicitied ska tunes from across the decades, just to put some smiles on our faces. We ended up with one from the early days, one from the late 70s/early 80s 2-tone years, and one from the mid-90s.

1) Desmond Dekker, "Rudi Got Soul"
2) The Specials, "Monkey Man"
3) Rancid, "Time Bomb"

Thanks for the requests everybody! Now don't forget to get your requests in for our daylong marathon of requests tomorrow, Radio Free Current. You can even submit three-song sets.
