Anytime I can welcome an author on the show, I do but this one was a little contentious because Aaron Carnes offered up a full throated argument on why ska shouldn't get overlooked as a musical force. I personally think that ska, for the most part, is pretty awful (with some notable exceptions) but Aaron's book had me do a double take. We go into it here on this weeks show and truthfully, it was a pleasure. Aaron is incredibly thoughtful about his historical analysis of the subculture and we discuss some deep ska cuts, Reel Big Fish and ultimately the credibility of the genere. Buy his book and become educated and entertained.
