The Godfather & The Return of Ska
Well just this week I picked up two new ska albums at a local Tower Records going out of biz massive sale. Those two were Ska-Boo-Da-Ba by the Skatalites and The Last of the Skinheads by Judge Dread. Awesome albums both of them. I've been listening to them all week. Especially one song from the Skatalites by the name of Confucius. Awesome bass in it. So, tonite I was working on my pixel by pixel homework which I was having some difficulties with but made progress and solved a huge prob. I'll post some example pics from it later. Anyhow I meant to go to sleep instead I ended up on You Tube and I ended up looking up the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. That's right Japanese ska for all of you who haven't heard the news. They've been around for awhile. Got to see them last summer at the House of Blues while they were on their first tour in the states. Amazing. The trombone player, the trumpet player and the drummer unbelievable. So, I was wondering You Tube and ran into the fact that they've played with Puffy Ami Yumi but also that they had covered the Godfather theme. Amazing especially when they slow it down and then go into double time right after. Blood great. T.S.P.O.!
