NR-13 NOTE: Due to language and content of a couple of songs in this podcast, this podcast is not recommended for children under the age of 13.
When I was making this podcast, I was not specifically thinking of the new Batman movie. But after I was finished, I couldn't help but notice the two songs by Crazy Baldhead and two songs by Madness, and the eerie dub feeling of "Drugs And Booze" and "Anxiety". So it's entirely possible that I was influenced on a sub-conscious level.
So, come on. Let's put a smile on that face!

16. Johnny Socko - Vinnie's Hooch

18. Smoke Like A Fish - Death Of An Angel
PS: If you haven't seen "Batman: The Dark Knight", it's awesome!!
If you were to go to Yahoo! Answers and pose the question, "What are some good ska bands?", you would get the same, nauseating responses, over and over and over again.
"Less Than Jake!
"Catch-22!"
"Streetlight Manifesto!"
"Save Ferris!"
"Sublime!!!"
Clearly, the youth of America who claim to be into ska music have no sense of where ska came from or that the rest of the world has moved on from the "Third Wave" of the 1990's.
Hopefully, this "Best of WSR" episode will serve as a friendly reminder of where ska and reggae came from, and where it's going.

The following is a trailer for an upcoming ska documentary:
This episode was originally going to be tagged on to the end of Ska History Month, but time just ran away from me.
This podcast focuses solely on Northern Soul and Mod Rock.
Northern Soul got its name from the Soul music that was popular in the dancehalls of Northern England in the mid to late 1960's. Aside from Ska, Northern Soul is my second favorite genre of music. And while the two are not really related to one another, there are connections.
The biggest connection came in 1979 when Jerry Dammers was trying to nail down a look for his revival of ska music. Many of his cues came from the Mod culture of the 1960's.
In fact, the origin of the 2 Tone label came from the two-tonic suits that Mods used to wear. Also, the assoiation of ska music and scooters was lifted straight from Mod culture.
Another connection came in the late 1960's. Soul music had an impact on the burgeoning Rocksteady movement that was popular in Jamaica from 1966 to 1968. Hopefully, this impact will be made clear in Track 10.
Led by bands like The Untouchables, Mod and Scooter culture became very popular in California in the late 80's and early 90's, as explained in this video:
This is Northern Soul!

Lat year, I posted a "Cinco de Mayo" episode featuring Latin Ska and Reggae artists. But this year, I just didn't have the time.
Then a couple days ago, I got an email from this website:
http://www.thebeatfusions.mx.vg asking me if they could play episodes of World Ska Radio overnight when they were off the air.
Naturally, I was honored.
But then I started thinking...what if I did an all-Spanish podcast that they could play at night. The only problem is that most of my podcasts are only an hour long. So I would have to do something big.
This is big.
Clocking in at 2 hours and 10 minutes long, this podcast is so big that I had to break it up into 3 parts. While each part can be enjoyed individually, the intention is that they be listened to as an ensemble.
Y así, sin cualquier demoras de firther, aquí está la música!
1. Rebelation - High Noon edit
2. Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Mal Bicho
3. Senor Flavio - Ministra

7. Charanga Cakewalk - Carmela
8. Black Gandhi - Pateras

10. Mandorico - Not Your Own
11. Almalafa - Son para mi corazó
12. Los Pericos - Pupilas Lejanas
13. Raskahuele - Bola De Cristal
After 1999, while ska flourished all over the globe, Ska music in the US looked pretty bleak. But things soon started to change. From the ashes of Moon Ska Records came a new label, Megalith Records.
In 2003, over 10,000 ska enthusiasts invaded Las Vegas for the Ska Summit concert. Soon after, Chris Murray and Brian Dixon would launch a weekly ska show in Los Angeles called, "The Bluebeat Lounge".
With festivals like the Victorian Ska Fest in Canada, Rudecat Festival in Spain, and the brand new Ska Splash in the UK, ska music is clearly enjoyed world-wide and stronger than ever.
This is Ska in the New Millennium.
1. Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb
2. Bomb Town - Dirty Dancehall Sex Party
3. Ska Cubano - Chango
4. Deal's Gone Bad - City City

9. Oreskaband - 20 Tips
10. Westbound Train - Don't Cry
One of my favorite books as a kid was "Flowers For Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, in particular the idea of The Algernonic Curve or The Algernon Effect. If you've never read the book, you should...for the book is a perfect allegory for the American ska scene in the 90's.
The 1990's would see ska hit the American mainstream like never before.
From underground obscurity in 1990 to mainstream TV and radio by 1997 to utter implosion by 1999.
In other parts of the world, ska fared better, with bands springing up in Europe, Latin and South America, and Japan.
This is Ska in the 90's
1. The Busters - Come On
2. Hepcat - Bobby & Joe
3. The Ventilators - Try Me One More Time
4. The Slackers - Run Away
5. Chris Murray - Ex-Darling
6. The Pietasters - Night Before
7. No Doubt - Stricken
8. Reel Big Fish - She Has A Girlfriend Now
9. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get
10. Sublime - What I Got
Jamaican Ska lasted from roughly 1958 to roughly 1966.
Then the more soulful, Rocksteady, was all the rage until 1968.
In 1969, Toots Hibbert had a hit with "Do The Reggay", and Jamaica never looked back.
Ska was dead.
In 1978, some young punks from Coventry, UK, dusted off some classic ska and added a decidedly punkish flavor. The Specials were born and other acts soon followed.
1. The Specials - Gangsters
2. Madness - The Prince
3. The Bodysnatchers - Let's Do Rocksteady
4. Bad Manners - Ne-Ne, Na-Na, Na-Na, Nu Nu
5. The Beat - Hands Off She's Mine
6. The Selecter - Three Minute Hero
By 1983, most of the 2 Tone bands had broken up.
But ska began to take root outside the UK.
Ska was back, and the world never looked back.
7. The Loafers - Living In A Suitcase
8. The Villains - Ska Music
9. Fishbone - Party At Ground Zero
10. The Toasters - Recrimination(s)
In case you haven't heard, The Specials are going to attempt a re-union later this year!
Now that I've gotten my April Fool's Day silliness out of my system, it's time to celebrate SKA HISTORY MONTH!
Ska History Month was started by myself back in 2003 to honor and educate Ska's roots. Each week this month, I will be posting a podcast highlighting a distinct era of Ska. And hopefully, some of my partners-in-crime at Music Is Our Occupation will be posting podcasts this month as well.
And so, without further ado, this is...JAMAICAN SKA!
1. Byron Lee & The Dragonaires - Frankenstein
2. The Skatalites - Freedom Sounds
3. Prince Buster - Rude Rude Rudee
4. The Silvertones - True Confession
5. Baba Brooks - Musical Communion
6. Lord Tanamo - I'm In The Mood For Ska
7. Don Drummond & The Skatalites - Don De Lion
8. Laurel Aitken & The Unitone - Rudi Got Married

5 long years since the start of The Iraq War,
and there's no end in sight.
At this point, it's pretty useless to protest the war, or
write a letter to your Congressman. With the death toll approaching 4,000,
the protests get smaller and smaller, and chances are
your Congressman isn't going to do anything anyway.
It highlights the plights of six soldiers who have returned from
the War In Iraq. Their stories are sobering.
So is the statistic that 23% of all US homeless are veterans.
Not only were our Troops lied to by their President, but they are coming home to a country whose citizens are more interested in what's going on
with American Idol than the American Government.
Our Troops deserve more than apathy.

I created this podcast because the Christmas music we play at work sucks. And chances are, you're pretty sick of the Christmas music that's been bombarding your ears since September.
Thankfully, there's ska and reggae Christmas music to the rescue.

There are special episodes of World Ska Radio, and then there are SPECIAL episodes of World Ska Radio.
This is the latter.
This episode is special for two reasons. The first being that it's a collaborative episode with Gabe from The Pressure Drop Soundcast, something we haven't done in a long time.
The second reason is that this podcast is an all-label podcast, meaning all the artists are from the same record label. In this case, it's the Do The Dog label out of the UK. Kevin Flowerdew was kind enough to send Gabe and I several cd's from the Do The Dog catalogue.
This podcast features Gabe's and my favourite tracks.

This podcast is a supplemental podcast to a review I did of "Ska Is Dead", a new compilation by Asian Man Records. So it might be best if you read my review first. And you can do that, here:
Ska music is syncopated, meaning it's played on the offbeat.
Rock and punk are played on the beat.
1..2..3..4..1..2..3..4..
Ska is played on the offbeat.
..1..2..3..4..1..2..3..4
I don't care if ska is played slow or fast. In my opinion, if it doesn't have that syncopated beat, it's not ska.
The purpose of this podcast is to show that around the world, many acts are putting out quality ska. And, that the bands that are "ska punk" aren't just adding a horn section to a punk band.
(Note to long-time listeners: In order to list the best ska bands today, I have had to repeat songs that appeared on CA SKA Soundcast episodes.)

There's a fantastic movie by Shane Meadows coming out in America next month called "This Is England". The movie centers around a young lad who gets swept up in the world of skinheads in Thatcher's England. I recently bought the soundtrack at Amoeba Records and it's awesome.
So this podcast is kind of like "Skinhead Reggae for Beginners".
Hope you enjoy it.

If you've ever read MOJO Magazine, you'll know that every once in a while they will include a cd in which they pick an artist, or a group, and they will create a playlist of tracks that is supposed to capture the "essense" of the artist, or group they've selected.
So this podcast aims to capture the "essense" of The Pietasters. Some of the tracks are obvious influences; some are...inspired choices. And while I left out, for various reasons, bands like The Specials, The Rolling Stones, Bad Manners, and 4 Skins, I think this podcast is a fitting profile of The Pietasters.
