Exhibition - Album by The Boy Detective | Spotify

@skapunknerd.bsky.social

Listened to @theboydetective.bsky.social Exhibition. This is super catchy ska punk. Stood in a queue, headphones on getting funny looks I realised my legs were tapping, shoulders were swinging and head was bobbing, the sound is too addictive

@skapunknerd.bsky.social

Listened to @catbiteband.bsky.social Nice One. A behemoth of an album, vocals as close to perfect as you can get alongside some solid ska with a nice mix of reggae and rock too. An album that's its own party in full swing

The Specials - Message To You Rudy - Later... With Jools Holland

@skapunknerd.bsky.social

Watched The Specials performing on Jools Holland during the 2006 reunion. 6 of the 7 members except Jerry. The reason the Specials name is so big is Jerry phoned Jools Holland and said not to use the band name on the show because he wasnt involved

This amazing woman is the voice that is shouting out from the crowd. She is so eloquent and well spoken and drives home the truth

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

Listened to @flyingraccoonsuit.bsky.social Makes A Friend. The album is raw but fantastic. Part ska, part punk, part whatever the fuck it wants to be. This is an album that says a big FU to conformity and is just pure joy

'Prevent Street Crime' — British postcard (1982) showing Margaret Thatcher stealing from a mother's bag. The postcard was designed by Cath Tate and published by 'Leeds Postcards'.
I grew up under Thatcher's rule and she made the lives of people up North, and anywhere else working class, miserable
