It's 1979, and this track goes into the mental library for the Brain DJ to retrieve after nearly 45 years of regular listening (because I like it) –

The Specials, "Bad Marriage" (1979)

"Court's in session! What do you mean, 'Oi, oi, oi?" Must have Court's in session!"

Honestly the greatest nightmare for me posting more hair color tags is the two-tone hair. If a model has a perfect 50/50 split of purple and pink hair, do I make two tags, or just make a tag or something? Who knows? I guess I should know because I'm the one doing the posts.... Ugh! Breaking things down like this can be such a pain! I'm not the greatest with certain shades either, so I might perceive something as purple when it would clearly be a blue. Well, whatever!

We also got a new album from Rhoda Dakar of The Bodysnatchers.

Rhoda Dakar - Version Girl

It leans more than Ska or , but it's a really fun batch of covers.

It really has been a great year for albums so far and today's rec is yet another fun one:

Prince Loogie - When Things Go Down

It's kinda Lo-fi, kinda new wavey, Street and Street . At least that's how I'd describe it? It's kind of an eclectic sound, that I don't have much comparison for. Maybe kinda: Goblin City Rat Boys? Regardless, it's pretty cool!

Fairly new album for today's rec:

Sick Leave - Sick Leave

Tight and Melodic with kinda new wavey/post punky vocals, which lend a feel to the album. I should have already rec'd this but managed to somehow completely forget about it. It's really cool, and I won't be making that same mistake again.

The word is "Earth"

, “The Earth Dies Screaming” 7", 12" singles and 7" included with some versions of "Signing Off"

Before UB40 hit upon the formulaic license to print money that their Labour of Love covers albums became (a far cry from the unemployment benefits form that gave them their name), they were an earnest band from the same interracial UK milieu that birthed their spikier contemporaries, heard in the States only on college radio. (Shoutout to in .)

The sophisticated yet biting “The Earth Dies Screaming” epitomizes the band’s purity at the time of their debut.

Oh shit, it's Thursday! Time for a album rec:

Chainska Brassika - Tales of a Londoner (2022)

An album I've mentioned in passing already, but deserves its own highlight. One of the many stellar albums out of the UK last year. It's , , and , and a bit of Pop and Rock. And it's great! It's one I often forget about, but I'm always happy to re-find
