I’ve been so busy lately I barely have time to sleep – sorry for neglecting you once again. Things’ll get back on track when I get back from Chicago in November. For now, dig my super rad half joke but mostly serious reggae/ska/rocksteady/modern guilty pleasures of similar influence mixtape, full of tracks from the best Ska compilation EVER, that my friend gave me for Christmas when I was 12. I don’t remember what it was called. Anyway, sorry – this shoulda gone out on Monday, didn’t get made till Tuesday, and isn’t being posted till Thursday:
1. Bad Manners – Skinhead Love Affair
2. The Maytals – Monkey Man
3. Mark Ronson – Valerie feat. Amy Winehouse
4. Desmond Dekker – Israelites
5. Equals – Police On My Back
6. The Pioneers – Long Shot Kick de Bucket
7. Beat Union – Disconnected
8. Sublime – Badfish
9. Judge Dread – Skinhead
10. Dillinger – Cocaine In My Brain
11. The Selector – On My Radio
12. Bobby McFerrin – Don’t Worry Be Happy
Does anybody else think Beat Union sounds like Elvis Costello?
