Heaven just got a whole lot more danceable with the addition of Lloyd Knibb, longtime drummer for the Skatalites. Respect and love to his whole extended family, and to fans the world over who loved and enjoyed his music. Lloyd Knibb, more than anyone else, invented and continually refined and re-invented the ska beat, thus making the world, quite simply, a better place. Bon voyage to a great man.

The songs stuck in my head is a super shweet skinhead reggae and ska podcast from Cloverdale Dave outta (u guessed it) Cloverdale, CA, the 2nd coolest small town in America. Have a listen, you’ll be glad you did. This is all str8 from Dave’s gr8 collection of original vinyl sides, and we’re talking some of the best music evar. Two paws up. Learned of this gem from Milesgehm on BayAreaSka after I posted the Uptones Cloverdale date there. Ah, and if I didn’t mention it here, The Uptones play Friday Night Live in Cloverdale, August 27. W00f.
