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.

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. Peace

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.

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.
