Throwback Thursdays: The Mavericks

DateThursday, March 27, 2014 at 8:41AM

In the late 90's I discovered a tex-mex country band called The Mavericks who were bordering on third-wave ska. They dropped an incredible album, Trampoline, in 1998. Still love these songs. Dig this cut, "Dance the Night Away" - compelte with a goofy supermarket video.

Throwback Thursdays: John Holt

DateThursday, March 14, 2013 at 8:36AM

John Holt is a legend in reggae music. Particularly his work in the early days of ska. The name might not sound familiar but I'm sure you've heard his work. He wrote this little ditty, for instance. About 3 times a month I wake up with his song, "Ali Baba" in my head. And I'm okay with that.
