First Wave Radio #57 - Livin' Soul: A Fauxlbum Livin' Soul is a band from France, whom as far as I know have released 3 albums. The Bridge, As A Spring and Sweet Lane. I always had this idea of making a sort of 'greatest hits' album of my favorite bands and artists, a collection of songs that are not only appealing but in an order that takes you on a musical journey, and since Livin' Soul originate in France, I decided to invent the word Fauxlbum, (well at the very least I give myself credit for inventing the word). There's a lot of Bob Marley influence in their music, but yet they are very progressive and have a distinct sound with a very distinct vocalist. I find that their music slowly but surely grows on you. Give this fauxlbum a listen a couple of times and maybe you will agree. I am hoping to do more fauxlbums in the future so stay tuned.

First Wave Radio #55 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 Just want to say a couple of things. Saw Westbound Train and The Slackers last night. Great SHOW!!! Nobel Peace Prize went to Obama. Was probably a political decision. Hope it's for the best. As for this show it is self funded and self advised, no politics on this show. Just a soundtrack to your SKAndalous day. People have been asking me about my recording techniques for the show, and all I can say is that I'm a little old Skool. I don't use any recording software, everything is put down live. If I screw up a mix I go back and redo the podcast from the beginning. ALL HAIL SKA!!!

First Wave Radio #52 - Random Proverb Does life feel like a maze? A Labyrinth of endless commuting. A narrower mind about the world. We seem to be more drawn to our comfort zone as we age. And yet we still seek something much larger. So take a trip back to 2005 (for the most part), a mixed bag. Take A Trip - The Dualers It's A Pity - Tanya Stephens Finally Your Day Has Come - The Dualers Free Man - Rude Boy System Open Season - Stubborn All-Stars Rescue The Children - Junior Murvin Ring My Bell - Blood Sisters Superior - Gentleman poor man stylist

First Wave Radio #51 - Summer Holidays So after about a month break, I'm back with a new show. I went to the Montreal Jazz Festival and had a great time. Saw some great bands and some great performances. One of which was an artist named Wesli. Originally from Haiti, he is surely a name to look out for. The Aggrolites came out with a new album "IV", solid. and what can I say, enjoy summer and keep me posted on new music passing your way.

First Wave Radio #48 - Tubacular!!! I just wanted to try something a little different. Of course Tuba's are the theme but most people don’t know that there are many breeds of tubas. The most common of which is called a sousaphone, popular amongst marching bands and New Orleans style brass bands. Named after an American composer and conductor John Philip Sousa, not only did he design this tuba, he wrote 3 novels and served in the U.S. Marine Corps. His father enlisted him to keep him from joining the circus. Well, his father was right about one thing...joining a circus is very very enticing!!!!

First Wave Radio #46 - HITZZZ FM If you listen to this podcast you probably don't listen to Top 40 radio. You also probably can't tell the difference between Britney Spears and Lady Ga Ga. In the world of Ska and Rocksteady I would say that the artists below have probably broken a Top 40 radio station somewhere in the world. Whether it is in Germany, Australia or Conneticut. Sudora - The Radiation Kings Let Down - Easy Star All Stars feat. Toots and The Maytals Santeria - Sublime Countryman Fiddle - The Aggrolites Cay's Crays - Fat Freddy's Drop Aufstehn!

First Wave Radio #44 - The One Hour Dub Show Haven't had much time lately, as I'm on the move. Dug deep into the vault for this one. This was a mix I did at least 6-7 years ago. There's lots of King Tubby here so listen with maximum bass.

First Wave Radio #43 - Evil Demons Another mixed bag this week. Again I can't say enough about Los Skarnales, high energy and fun but at the same time a very progressive band, although I know some of you would disagree. I can never play one Los Skarnales song without playing another. So another year is done have a safe and happy new year and remember rich or poor, old or young, ska and reggae is for everyone. My new years rhyme.

First Wave Radio #41 - Mixed Bag This episode is a mixed bag. I've been listening to a lot of different tunes lately and this affects my mixes. Right now, I'm really digging Los Skarnales, sort of a rockabilly ska band, seem to have a lot of energy in there music but progressive as well. Patrice is another artist that I've been listening to, soulful singer popular in Europe. I recommend his album 'Nile', as it stands alone in it's uniqueness, a very good album front to back in my opinion and very well produced. This week has been a little crazy, so I threw this episode together in a matter of minutes. Stay tuned for episode #42 in two weeks time. Soulstorm - Patice Top Of The City - Seeed Why Can't We Live Together - Tinga Stewart Youth Of Eglington - Black Uhuru Beautiful Fools - Los Skarnales Borracho - Los Skarnales Funky C, Funky Do - The Georgetown Orbits Chick Habit - April March poor man stylist
