It took me a long time to do this one because, to be honest, I'm bored with the gimmick of non-ska bands doing ska music. I diverted from that and just played some rare 80s ska instead.
Even if you don't want to listen to the whole thing I recommend skipping to the end to hear the last song.
Mi-Sex - Mystery Delayed Action - Give it Up Mark Foggo - Nothing to Hide (unreleased) The Cartoons - Self Conscious Cowboys - Supermarket Cowboys - Rude Boy Rifffs - Dance Music for the 80's Depression The Lovely Bodies - Shark Bites The Pretenders - How do I Miss You The Drivers - Stolen Treasures Monroes - Arabian Night Student Nurse - Discover Your Feet The Tuners - Shuffle Your Feet Child's Play - Playground Romance
...and yes, I most certainly will. I hope to do my next posts on Wednesday or Thursday and Child's Play will be amongst them. The b-side is more of a rock song though. Not ska at all.
hey tone! You could post Monroes - Arabian Night, The Tuners - Shuffle Your Feet ?¿?¿? uff! Super rare ska! not if you already listened to Eric Clapton and his rare rocksteady! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAJVi_XjR1c&feature=related
Man, this is great ska! Kudoz for this awesome comp! Just realised it is the third time I listen to #6. Now it is the time when I want to learn everything about the bands featured!
The Cowboys really do sound a lot like the Clash. There was also another band, pretty big in their time, the Cowboys International who actually had a distant relation to the Clash (via Keith Levene). No connection to "our" Cowboys of course, just a coincidence.
Great podcast!, and you are right, the last song is really awesome. Please, could you post the complete 45?
