First Wave Radio #36b - Downbeat The Cleaner A gig of mine fell through, and so I decided to do some cleaning around the house. But before breaking out the mop and yellow gloves, I needed some music to motivate me. Here's a true story, I had a very brief meeting with Prince Buster and needless to say we may have gotten off on the wrong foot. I had the priviledge of going backstage as I am friends with Willi Williams, who opened for Prince Buster and Lynn Taitt. And just before Prince Buster was to go on stage, I was standing just outside the dressing room area closest to the stage, and when he came out, I must of startled him because, he looked at me and jumped a little backwards, and he looked at me over his sunglasses as if I appeared out of thin air and he looked over his shades at me, and I swear to you, he gave me 'cut eye'. I didn't say anything and I kinda felt guilty, but hey he's a pro, the show was one of the best performances I've seen and I just feel fortunate to have seen him live, even if it meant that for 2 seconds he was slightly pissed at me. Don't forget to join my facebook group 'First Wave Radio Podcast' for more useless antics.

First Wave Radio #34 - I'm A YUPpie?? By definition I'm A YUP/yuppie. Young Urban Professional…my trumpet player disagrees with me as I live in a terrible neighbourhood, full of crack and other harsh and illegal substances. I work during the day and moonlight by night, well minus the moonlighting...which brings to question...is being a yuppie strictly about location and consumerism?? Am I a sucker for buying most of my music?? Nobody, will ever admit to their yuppie status...and I cringe to the idea that I'm that guy, with that girl, who dines there, and consumes these things.....but most of all I cringe to the idea that I'm that guy who's afraid; afraid to face the harsh realities of crack, crackheads, crime, my car breaking down, social status, public transportation, germs, dysfunctional families, death, pesticides, imitation iPods...(the list goes on).....the mere thought of what a YUPpie is....is....incredibly YUPpie....let's just be responsible consumers and live with and for all.....but in the meantime let Jimmy Cliff answer all of our questions.

First Wave Radio #30 - Expos and Clementones 2 of my favorite Toronto area bands are The Expos and The Clementones. Had a chance to see The Expos on a couple of occasions, and must say they are a great band, and I'm totally impressed how the drummer can hold down a steady stepper beat and sing leads at the same time, some of us aint that coordinated. I have yet to see The Clementones live but they'll be playing at The Reverb in Toronto June21!! So here's a quick 1 for 1 from these 2 bands. Another Waste - The Expos All The World - The Clementones Dying Too Long - The Expos Holy Water - The Clementones Last Night Call - The Pietasters Food For Thought - UB40 110th St and 5th Ave - Tito Puente and His Orchestra Days of Tequila - Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra Lorraine - Liberator feed://firstwaveradio.libsyn.com/rss firstwaveradio.com

First Wave Radio #29 - ProgresSka!!! It was until music was first recorded, wrapped and passed around did we see such progress, in terms of the fusion of sounds and the collision of cultures. For example, in Jamaica, there was Mento, then there was Ska then onto Rocksteady…and then all of sudden there was fork in the road…in the UK bands such as The Specials inspired a new generation of bands. 2 Tone became a fixture in the UK while in the U.S. a new ska punk generation was a brewing with bands like Operation Ivy, inspired by the UK band The Clash. The Dead 60s recently broke up, but The Specials have recently reunited and will hopefully start touring again. Progress, evolution, call it what you will...this show is dedicated to the many paths SKA has taken.

First Wave Radio #27 - Bad Manners vs. St. Petersburg Ska What can I say, I recently saw Bad Manners play and they were awesome! High Energy, great players. Have yet to see St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review but that is probably next on my to-do list. So the next best thing....back to back of these two great bands...a one for one if you will....so don't get confused...it's a two band show. I'll be gone for 2 weeks so sit tight and listen to this one a couple of times....peace Echo 4 + 2 - Bad Manners Skatana - St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review Pipeline - Bad Manners Skatango - St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu - Bad Manners 4:70 - St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review Red River Ska - Bad Manners Trip Back To Childhood - St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review Don't Knock The Baldheads - Bad Manners Novosibirsk At Night - St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review poormanstylist firstwaveradio.com feed://firstwaveradio.libsyn.com/rss

First Wave Radio #26 - Ken Boothe I have recently become a big Ken Boothe fan. As with most legendary Jamaican artists, he has a huge discography….22 albums!! He has raw talent, conscious and apparently great live…I meant to do this show last week, as it was his birthday on Mar 22 but just ran outta time.

First Wave Radio #24 - The Electric Light Show Ska Cubano is a great band. Members are from around the world. Apparently, Cuban music before the revolution was deeply inspired by music from the caribbean, especially calypso in the 40's and 50s. Because of the revolution not much contact was made between Cuba and the rest of the islands...Ska Cubano asks the question 'what if ska was introduced and influenenced Cuban music... An "alternative history" as you will. I start off the show with an epic intro from Electric Light Orchestra, which is totallly unneccessary but...hmm...I guess I just wanted to spread my wings a little.

First Wave Radio #22b - The Tax Show This show is dedicated to the Tax Man. We all pay taxes in some form or another. It's discouraging sometimes but I think of taxes as a measurement of your altruistic ways. How much do you support your government?? How much do you care about the roads, air, water and the poor?? For those of us that have universal Health Care, how much do you care about the health of others, citizens, permanent residents and refugees??? How about programs that enhance or maintain the culture and history of your country?? If only we could stop the tax man from misappropriating our money.

First Wave Radio #19 - The Garden Show There's no reason to call this show the Garden Show, other than showcasing a band from Germany. A very good and contemporary band called Seeed. First heard them a couple of years back and worked with German Ska legend Dr. Ring Ding. I also wanted to feature somewhat of a forgotten legend, in the form of Dr. Alimantado. The album is called "Best Dressed Chicken in Town" and in my mind a very solid album with all the elements you expect from a reggae artist. Peace.

First Wave Radio #15 - The Life Much respect to the late Montreal Native Oscar Peterson. I have never heard anyone play an instrument so fast with grace and style, groove and swing like Oscar Peterson did. His body of work is huge, and I have not even dented his discography but the one album that sticks out of my mind is West Side Story. This show (although recorded a week before his passing) is dedicated to him.
