  1. Haven't done a #2ToneTuesday in a while, so here's a classic. The Bodysnatchers were a pretty short-lived band (1979-1981) with a pretty big impact.

    Here's "Let's Do Rock Steady." And you know what? I agree. Let's.

    This song was also released as "Let's Do *The* Rock Steady" on "Dance Craze: The Best of British Ska... Live!" It was again renamed "People Do Rock Steady" on the "Summer Reggae" compilation.

  5. Bringing back #2ToneTuesday / #TwoToneTuesday to recommend "Dance Craze." Just the whole damn album. Every song from every band.

    If you're looking for a good entry point for the 2-Tone era of #ska, just put this record on your turntable.

  9. Sorry, #ska fans. I was doing personal stuff and ended up having a mini anxiety attack last night, so I didn't get to make my usual #TwoToneTuesday post. I'll make next week a double.

  13. Guess what, #ska fans? It's another #TwoToneTuesday. This week, it's the Toasters with "2-Tone Army."

    I always thought it was fascinating that the Toasters recorded "clean" versions of some of their songs. This song, "Don't Let the Bastards Grind you Down," and "I Wasn't Gonna Call You Anyway" all had radio edits with altered lyrics.

    Did the Toasters ever chart? I'm searching, and it doesn't look like it. Still worth listening to? Heck yes.

  16. My #TwoToneTuesday song for today is a two tone revival track. I picked up this record in a Jump Up deal and it’s been on regular rotation recently. Here’s one of my favorites from The Hotknives’ album The Way Things Are.

    The Hotknives - “Bedsit Land”

  18. We still have an hour of #TwoToneTuesday left in us! And you know who I've been spinning a lot of lately? I mean seriously a lot? The Selecter.

    "On My Radio" is a great song with a really infectious "groove" throughout.

    It's a classic tale of someone choosing the radio over their S.O. (with a criticism of radio airplay atop that).

    Did it chart in the U.S.? Nope! This is why we can't have nice things.

    It hit the top ten in U.K., Netherlands and Belgium, though.

  21. The Beat! That's who I'm talking about on the first #TwoToneTuesday of 2023. Known as "The English Beat" in the States due to some rights issues, I never felt like they got their due over here.

    Their cover of "Tears of a Clown" didn't even crack the charts stateside, while it peaked at number 6 in the UK.

    Despite never breaking the top 100 in the U.S., movie soundtracks love these guys. Even the very recent "Spider Man Homecoming" featured "Save it for Later."

  24. It's #TwoToneTuesday again. So let's all share #TwoTone #Ska from any era.

    Stateside, Madness are primarily known as the "Our House" band. But they're so much more than that, both in terms of singles and deep cuts.

    I mean... This is Skastodon. I don't have to tell you this. You already know.

    But here's Madness with "House of Fun," a single that didn't even chart in the U.S.

    This video is my kind of silliness.

  27. Today's our first #TwoToneTuesday. And unfortunately, it's a sad one.

    Here's some live #specials. You'll be missed, Terry.

  29. @MikeyRhude Absolutely gutted by this one. Skastodon's first #TwoToneTuesday is definitely a sad one.

  31. Starting 12/20, I think it'll be cool to start having weekly #TwoToneTuesday posts on Skastodon. People can share music from their favorite two-tone era artists.

    I'm putting this out there now, so everyone can prepare.
