Speaking of ska, ¿how do we establish the ska beat? ¿how do we establish that it's on the second and fourth beats and not simply that the first beat starts later?

Well, I interacted with that song and now I'm getting endless clips of asian kids doing high energy dances in my YouTube feed. I am not mad.

Update: I now have this song firmly lodged in my brain on endless repeat, as if it were not already hard enough to sit still in meetings.

Since posting up my Goldfinger album cover re-creation earlier this week for Music Monday, I've had them on the brain.

So, for VGM Wednesday, I'm going to post their one song that is so intrinsically tied to video games it instantly makes you think of them.

Here's Goldfinger's "Superman," which many folks first heard in Tony Hawk Pro-Skater https://songwhip.com/goldfinger/superman

From 1984. Evidence that at least some of your #GenX friends have been aware of the #antifascim fight for a long time.

Sad to hear that Hepcat singer Gregory Lee passed away recently. He certainly had a sweet and clear voice.

Didn't listen to a lot of Hepcat frankly, but I love the tracks "I Can't Wait" and "Riding the Region" that were on the Hellcat Records "Give 'Em The Boot" compilations, which I listened to constantly throughout high school. Nostalgic for me, and otherwise fantastic chill tunes in that classic ska/soul pocket for sure.

THE SPECIALS
The Specials
1980 Canada pressing

A fun listen for the Hump Day blues.

Produced by Elvis Costello, it’s just one of those classic endlessly playable and FUN albums.

I can’t spin this without immediately wanting to hear The Selecter’s Too Much Pressure afterward.
So that’s probably hitting the table after this gem.
