Three on the Ones and Twos

Episode 21 - Timo Snider: Dance Craze - Part 1

From Timo: In the intro to EAV Rudio I explain that “Everybody loves ska, some people just don’t know it yet.”  You can see this is true when everyone from my local friend Nanci Agetro to international superstars Peter Dinklage and Oscar Isaac has been in a ska band.  But I’ll add a caveat: everyone loves ska once they figure out where they fit in the world of ska.  Is it current music (please don’t say 4th wave, just don’t) or is it all the way back to its origins in Jamaica long before I was born?  Maybe it's my personal doorway through the 3rd wave in the Skasplosion of the 90s.  Or the final option: the 2nd wave out of England that stormed the shores of the US in the late 70s/early 80s.  2nd wave rudies will  understand what I am about to say, if not, there is no better introduction and summary to that time period than the ever-popular Dance Craze.  Some of the most influential bands of the scene ‘picking it up’ on this two record release.  And although there may be one or two bands missing, find out all about it when I discuss this iconic album with the Three On The Ones and Twos crew.
