This is Your Brain on Ska

what's up gang! ian here & i got a hot one for ya. holy jeez if you don't like ska - TURN THE RADIO OFF (reel big fish ref) jk listen to ska cuz it rules & it's more than just horns.

Today I interview the great Mike Park - founder of Asian Man Records, vocalist/sax player in Skankin' Pickle. Side projects are The Chinkees & Bruce Lee Band (B. Lee Band), and his current musical incarnation is an acoustic venture under his name, Mike Park. ALSO! He organizes charity tours and events via his non-profit The Plea for Peace Foundation. His label will sign anyone that's anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-prejudice and is still run, to this day, out of his parents garage in California with help only from his parents and friends. Holy shit this guy, his music, message, and the bands his label put out helped me out a lot and it was so cool talkin' to him. He's gotta lotta wisdom & ya'll are gonna enjoy listenin' to it.

EDIT: I misspoke during the pod - Asian Man Records was started in 1996. I know I said 1988, but in actuality, it was 1989 when Mike started a label called Dill Records, with Asian Man starting in his parents garage in Monte Soreno, California in '96. My bad gang. Thanks for understanding.
