I still have lots of cool stuff to share and I'll eventually get around to doing so.
I am working 6 days a week for 9 hours a day. I look forward to my one day off each week because I get to do super exciting things like going grocery shopping, cleaning out the house, car, and garage, and doing laundry. So, not a lot of time for music.
I have lots of cassettes but I don't think any of them are really anything anybody would really care about. I' have already posted all of my great ska cassettes and all I have left are "reggae" stuff and punk demos with one or two ska-ish songs, I'll post them all eventually just to put them out there but I know those posts will elicit the "This blog used to be cool but know it sucks" comments. And that's fair.
And I do read the comments. I have a few requests for re-posts and I intend to post them all. Next Friday is Juneteenth in America and I will have a full three-day weekend so I hope to do a lot of stuff for this blog over those three days including every re-up request. No promises but I will try.
Anyway, as long as I have been doing this blog I had a rule about not posting other people's stuff without their permission but I have been finding so much good stuff online lately that I feel like it would be irresponsible of me to keep it to myself and not share it. I do make Facebook posts with some of the stuff I find but I know a lot of you aren't on Facebook so I have decided that it's okay to share my findings as long as I give the original posters credit and not act like it's my own stuff.
So, just to keep the blog from going silent for months at a time I will post stuff that I find online.
For example - this cassette is currently for sale on eBay. It is a rare ska tape from 1988 from a California band.
Not to undercut the seller but you can also get the MP3 version for free because the band made it available for free download on Bandcamp. They didn't use the original cover but it's the same album.
Stay tuned. I'll be posting a lot more often but not every post will be great but it's better than not posting anything at all.
