3/31/2011 Rocket Ship Ska Trip

 

_3/31 in a nutshell..._
'60s vintage bluebeat 'n' ska from beyond Jamaica's borders! Made in the UK, US, France, Poland, Mexico and more! And if it's more you want, YOU, TOO! can support the radio station that delivers it, during KFAI's Spring Pledge Drive! Any amount helps... just listen and you'll hear the phone-bank number (and the website!) being given out on a regular basis. Your support guarantees that you'll continue to hear things like...
Agnes Loti doing My Boy Lollipop in French

The English Beat instrumental March of the Swivelheads

Mothra (and real-life) twins The Peanuts on the occasion of their birthday (Apr. 1st, no foolin'!)

An entire set of my official RSST in-house one-man band Mutant Frogs

The GotchaSKAvered! Ska Cover-of-the-Month Club Selection (same tune covered by a different band every week of any given month; no original versions in this segment)

When you support KFAI, you support Rocket Ship Ska Trip!
(and all the other cool stuff that goes on around here)
Ka-ching!!
