12/2/2010 Rocket Ship Ska Trip
12/2 in a nutshell...
Hour 1: Wingin' the Oldies + Coyabalites, Toots The Skatalites (along with U-Roy and Terry Hall!), Stubborn, Rotterdam, Big 6 and our own Umbrellas. Hour 2: A vibes set, the belated-by-a-week Shiina Ringo birthday tribute, and some spacey Frank Comstock. Hour 3: Japanese Ska (including more Ringo biz), Fatty's Girl Lollipop, more British Ska, and flying saucer wreckage... but it still takes The End and new regular character Cy Knopf's countdown to take us away!
