I’m grateful to everyone who’s believed in me as the new host, and to all those that believe that ska music deserves to be heard in the waking hours.  I’m going to miss seeing my friends, Ital K and Empress Erica from Midnight Rockers and Mike from The Old Soul Harmony Show, but I’m also excited about my new neighbors.

On each side of the show, we got the best in Brazilian musica with Radio Rio and crucial roots reggae from Positive Vibrations.  I hope you can tune in.

As for last night’s episode, I used my final late night to play some of my least radio-friendly tunes- lots of instrumentals of the skinhead reggae and ska-jazz variety.  I’m not offering up any of my usual links, since there aren’t that many to show you, and since I’ve got to get the word out about the new time slot.  Thanks everybody!

If you missed the show, last night, you can still catch the archive at KDHX.org
