63: Dub

Dub evolved out of reggae and is mainly instrumental remixes with additional echo and reverb effects. I don't know why I got so into dub -- maybe because it's kid-friendly music for around the house and easy to work to since they're instrumentals -- but I listened to an awful lot of it last year.

1. Sly & The Revolutionaries - Acapulco Gold
2. Prince Jammy - Shaolin Temple
3. Bob Marley - One Dub
4. Soul Syndicate - This Is The Greatest Version
5. King Tubby - Dub Magnificent

59: Sklash

This episode features The Clash's reggae influences, including their covers of Junior Murvin's "Police & Thieves" and Coxsone Dodd's "Armagideon Time".

(And yes, I realize that The Clash was influenced by reggae and not specifically ska, but it made for a better title since 35% of all ska bands begin with "Sk-"...)

1. (White Man) in Hammersmith Palais
2. Police & Thieves
3. The Guns of Brixton
4. Armagideon Time
5. Revolution Rock

57: A Cuppa Joe

Some songs about coffee, including a bonus cup from the Descendents (since they're such big fans of the stuff).

1. Bob Marley - One Cup Of Coffee
2. Dance Hall Crashers - Java Junkie
3. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Cowboy Coffee
4. Descendents - Kids / Coffee Mug
5. Black Flag - Black Coffee

2. R.E.M. - Driver 8
3. The Who - 5.15
