OI U GOT A PERMIT FOR THAT THERE SAXOPHONE M8
It’s Tuesday, and you all know what that means–it’s time for Talkie Time and The Jazz Program on your favorite radio station, datafruits.fm! Here’s what we’re —- oh no.
Wait. What are you doing with that saxophone.
Get off that rooftop.
GET OFF THAT ROOFTO–
. . .
Oh god damnit.
Talkie Time And The Jazz Program Will Not Be Heard Tonight….Instead, Here’s Three Straight Hours Of Ska
EVERY DAY IS TUESDAY WHEN YOU'RE JAZZ-EMPLOYYYEED brrrrt-br-br-BR-br-br-BRT
We interrupt your regular programming to bring you the ugly, terrible facts. Two of them, specifically.
Ugly, terrible fact number one: I am dreadfully behind on deadline for this month’s Clippings, mostly due to circumstances beyond my control. So, while I don’t want to just call out tonight, I don’t have the time to sit and write up a new schedule, or even re-factor an old one. Hell, my brain’s too fried after looking at news articles all week to write much of anything, for that matter.
Even worse, even uglier, and even more terrible fact number two: When I’m on deadline, one of my “sit and focus” music genres of choice is….yup, you guessed it.
Ska.
So, for your amusement and/or torture, tonight’s broadcast will just be a gigantic pile of records for you to skank to your heart’s content by. We’ve got The Slackers, The Specials, and even maybe some bands who don’t start their names with “The” and then a word beginning with S.
Don't ask how many ska .gifs I have. Some questions you're better off not knowing the answers to.
Anything’s possible, really; just as long as “anything” happens to have exactly two colors in their logo and a lot of flat-top hats in the bandstand.
The nonsense, as always, starts at 8 PM, central time (that’s 9 eastern and 6 Pacific for the rest of you).
In all seriousness, I do hope you tune in live and hang out in the chat with us on Datafruits! We’ve got a good crowd of folks in the chat every week, and whether you have a suggestion for a future show or just want to hang out and chat with fellow jazz enjoyers, you’re welcome here with us.
You’re all amazing and don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not. Stay safe out there, and I’ll see you back again next week–ideally, with actual programming. Same time, same station.
See you on the airwaves.
