L.A. Reggae Crew Wants YOU!
"Does anyone want to play good rocksteady and reggae? I need a guitar
player, organist (it would be great if you had a hammond b3 or something
close!) vocalist too." - THEUPSETTE1

Why CDs Don't Do Justice
"Most ska bands in the last few decades are/were better live than on
recordings. This is/was probably due to the lack of money behind the
recordings, and lack of knowlegable producers." - GIDGETSKA

Download Ska Drum Tracks
"I just finished encoding all the drum tracks I had on my computer. I do
a lot of ska-dub stuff so I had lots of drum loops and tracks" -

Defending the Punk Kids
"It is an incredibly unfair and disrespectful generalization to
insinuate that ska-punks are all closed-minded, stubborn teenagers who
have no knowledge or respect for ska's roots. Nothing could be farther
from the truth." - REELBIGTIM

So, here's a little reggae tidbit for you. Apparently, boxer Lennox
Lewis has decided that he wants to be a reggae star. He'll soon be
recording an album with the assistance of Ky-Mani Marley. Which reminds
me: whatever happened to Willie Nelson's reggae project?

Keep skankin'!
