8/5/2010 Rocket Ship Ska Trip
8/5 in a nutshell...
The 3:00-hour highlight was the oldies set... all stuff reissued by Trojan_ but then stay tuned for the rest, including The Drastics vs. Michael Jackson! Sherwood B. Funn's awash in old 45s again, some from his recent trip to the new Hymie's space! The 4(+1)'s made up of old Unicorn sides, and stay tuned for a delicious Brazilian Portuguese Lollipop. Mmmmmmmmmmm... !
