    I'm stoked they are playing I just wish Jerry Dammers was playing too. Terry Hall will be nice though, I'm sick of Neville Staples touring with a new band calling himself the specials.

    Where's the best place to start in their catalog? I'm mainly familiar with the couple of songs I've heard on the radio.
    5/23 - QOTSA - Wiltern > Boris - Echoplex
    5/24 - Boris - Echoplex
    5/30 - John Talabot - Echoplex (?)
    6/02 - Bjork - Palladium
    6/08 - The Field - El Rey (?)

    Thanks!

    The Specials aren't very hard to get into. They only have two albums and a greatest hits. (And Im not counting Nevilles "Specials" albums).

    Really Ken? Does the name Toots Hibbert mean anything to you? Laurel Aitken perhaps? Desmond Decker? Derrick Morgan?

    Ken, please stop talking about music*, because you are an ignorant retard.

    The "real roots of ska" are from Jamaica in the 1960s. Not from Coventry UK in the late 70s. The Specials were one of a number second-wave ska bands (along with The Selecter, The Beat, Madness, etc). The real bluebeat is much older.




    * - and other things too.

It's been there from the beginning.. the weak Britpop headliners Friday; the rumors that DP was gonna play, that it was a done deal, then all of a sudden 'oops, no, not gonna happen'; and now the new album. It's all so obvious.
