I remember back in 1998.
I was working at a grocery store in Charleston, SC,
and one of my co-workers came up to me and asked, "Do you like Ska?"
"You mean, like Madness?" I replied.
"No...SKA."

I felt old.

The end of October means the end of The Knitting Factory in Hollywood.
And this also means the end of Chris Murray's Bluebeat Lounge...for now.
And while The Knitting Factory is looking for a new home, it is truly the end of an era.

I first went to The Knitting Factory in August of 2004.
The Pietasters were playing a concert that Chris Murray was hosting,
and since it was my birthday, and I street team for The Pietasters, I flew out
to Los Angeles to see what the ska scene was like.

It was impressive.

After that concert, I swore that I would move out to LA within the year.
It took me 8 months.

This podcast marks the end of two eras. The first being the passing of The Knitting Factory.
And the second being the end of this podcast. I had said earlier that I was going to do two final podcasts, but the flu cut that pledge to just this one. I simply no longer have the time, money, nor interest to keep World Ska Radio going.

This final, 95-minute podcast features artists I have seen perform at The Knitting Factory.
It easily could have been twice as long.

So thank you to Gabe Paredes of The Pressure Drop Soundcast. He designed the look and the logo for World Ska Radio. I could not have started this without him. Thanks also to my other podcasters-in-crime over at Music Is Our Occupation, Bobby Bobson and Brian Dao.

But mostly, thanks to you. At its peak, World Ska Radio had over 6,000 subscribers on 5 continents!

So, so long...and thanks for the fish!

-Andrew Lyons

Posted last month by Richard: "Nice to have you back - I was getting worried! Excellent choice of tunes; thank you for doing what you do!"

Richard...I got some bad news.

World Ska Radio is going on hiatus. Not permanently, but at least for a while.

Why?

A couple of reasons.

A) Most of my sources for music have dried up. The ska section at Amoeba Records has shrunk by 66%. Plus, MySpace Music is now streaming only, no downloads. So I simply can't get my hands on enough music to keep putting out episodes.

B)Time. From start to finish, it takes up to 3 hours to produce an episode. I just don't have that kind of time anymore.

C) I've traded one expensive hobby for another. It costs about $120 a year for Podomatic Pro, plus the expense of buying music. But recently, I've gotten into ghost hunting, and going on a ghost hunt can easily run $300 to $500. But, what can I say? I love doing them.

So, aside from the marketing I do for Bucket, 3FOS and Megalith Records*, this is going to be it for a while. But I did put a lot of effort into this episode. So hopefully, it will be a fitting farewell.

Before I go, a few "Thank You's". BIG Thanks to Gabe Paredes at the Pressure Drop Soundcast for designing my home page and WSR's logo! And thanks to Jason Boyd for teaching me how to use Audacity.
And THANK YOU to the over 5,000 subscribers who've downloaded episodes!!!

Will I ever return to podcasting on a regular basis?

Someday...I suppose.

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.

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
9. Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Strawberry Fields Forever
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.

2. Bomb Town - Dirty Dancehall Sex Party
3. Ska Cubano - Chango
4. Deal's Gone Bad - City City
5. Ska-D-Lite - Special Request

And check out this video by Pannonian Allstar Ska Orchestra!

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

Also, check out my interview with Dave Hillyard!

And this video from Los Fabulosos Cadillacs!

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!

BBC reports on a possible Specials re-union

Huzzah!

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
9. Jimmy Cliff - Miss Jamaica
10. Toots & The Maytals - Pressure Drop

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.

This podcast features a group of musicians out of Northern California that call themselves Strange Manor. Strange Manor has, for the past two years, put out holiday music that is honest, sincere, well-crafted, and actually enjoyable to listen to.

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:

http://musicaloccupation.blogspot.com

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.
