Small scale permaculture nursery in Maine, education enthusiast, and usually verbose.
This was a fun listen, thanks!
Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima
A warning to those who experience frisson or have high empathy experiences when listening to music - this is uncomfortable. There is a beauty to it, one that is drawn from the very dissonance and frenetic energy in it, but it’s a piece that is meant to make you grapple with discomfort.
Bing Crosby’s Merry Christmas and Christmas Classics.
We’ve also got a record set of a Christmas concert at Radio City Music Hall from the 50’s I’m due to dig out soon.
Aaron Barrett of the Reel Big Fish had a side project for a while called The Forces of Evil that’s got some fun stuff in a ska vein.
Professor Plum was a small ska band I really enjoyed when they were doing things (oh golly thirtyish years ago).
+1 for Skatalites, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, RxBandits, Less than Jake
The Arrogant Sons of Bitches is one of my favorites, and not just because they spent time mic’ing a playskool xylophone for their sets. They’re not as, um, clean as the Reel Big Fish but there’s a ton of fun to be had with their songs.
I dig it, thanks for introducing me to them!
