Horny Music Episode May 8, 2025
12. Two-Tone (Ska)
10:59am - 11:59am
The twelfth ever episode! Late 70s Britain spawned Two-Tone music, which combined Jamaican ska/reggae with punk rock and was often heavily political, particularly in opposing Thatcher's fueling of racial and social division. On top of that, it's great music - The Specials have a special place in my heart in particular with some sexy trombone playing by Rico Rodriguez. Enjoy!
