  8. NO SPORTS – KING SKA
    (Reggae, Ska / Mad Butcher Classics)

    by Lagartija Nick

    Ein Album für Einsteiger und Kenner – warum funktioniert es so gut?
    „King Ska“ von No Sports ist mehr als nur ein Genre-Album – es ist eine stilbewusste Hommage an den klassischen Ska-Sound, verankert in der deutschen Musiklandschaft.
    Am Ende bleibt nur eine Frage: Wer trägt hier wirklich die Krone?

    We start the year with #Hope

    The Specials, “We Sell Hope” from “Encore” (2019)

    The Specials were the cornerstone of UK second-wave #ska, with mastermind Jerry Dammers founding 2Tone Records.
    They came together in the late 70s and splintered in the early 80s, coming back together in a variety of permutations with members of their 2Tone label mates and others, but came closest to a true reunion after reuniting for a 30th Anniversary tour in 2009, with Terry Hall back on vocals, albeit sans Dammers.

    The Specials always had a social conscience, being vocally anti-racist. My sense was they looked around in the late twenty-teens and saw they were needed, delivering their message via their first studio album of new material in many years (depending on how you define "they"). With Terry’s passing in 2022, it became their last.

    The title of this track shows their sardonic wit had not dimmed, underlining the chorus giving a litany of Orwellian doublespeak. The down-stepping melody of the verses feels ominous, but by taking the tone of a warning, suggests hope to me; only where there’s hope would a warning matter, and indeed the verses turn sincere, using decidedly sweet vocals to give prescriptive measures for arresting our slide into dark times.

  22. -DIY Forever-
    Autograph session

    It was raining cats and dogs that evening in #Berlin X-Berg and I was glad to have my jacket. Later at the merch, Pauline Black signed it for me. She asked if I had made it and that she liked it. I liked her show! She was born in 1953, dances and performs with enthusiasm and action

    Photos from The Selecter concert to come, stay tuned.

  24. THE SELECTER
    Too Much Pressure
    1980 Canada pressing

    Although I’ve got a week or so to go in my recovery, I wanted to get up and move around today and do something useful.

    So, I’ve put this on, and I’m going to strip off the sheets and blankets, wash them, and remake the bed.

    The SELECTER should give me a nice, jaunty musical motivation by which to do so.

    It feels really nice being able to stand up and not feel like you’re falling from a 60 story building.

  25. The Special AKA, Nelson Mandela, 1984 on Two Tone

    Extended version 12″ single from The Specials (Special AKA), produced by Elvis Costello. One of my favorite early 80s ska protest songs. Now dated in its reference but hey – never forget: Mandela was in prison for 27 years but would go on to be the president of South Africa. It’s an amazing story in which the song is just a footnote, but was very compelling, real, and timely in 1984.

    My copy—a UK pressing on 2 Tone labels with Chrysalis copyright and marketing and a picture sleeve—via Antone’s Records in Austin TX.

    🎶
    Can't fight corruption with con tricks
    They use the law to commit crime
    And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
    When we're living in gangster time
