I'm getting old lets face it. This isn't your fathers ska, and by father I mean mine, at least not the stuff I grew up with. I enjoy the new Mustard Plug sound and I enjoy the album immensely. Check it out but you'll be disappointed if you expect tracks reminiscent of "I Want the Mustard" and "Thigh High Nylons."

Chris Murray has been around fro what seems like a lifetime. Depending on the day or in most cases the track, I either love Chris Murray or feel he is a little overrated. I'm fickle what can I say? Chris Murray plays an acoustic soulful reggae that few can compete with. I'm not sure if I would go see him in person but I own enough of his stuff to attest that I'm a fan.

Buck-O-Nine is a ska band that I have listened to for far to long. I'll be honest I sorta fell off the band wagon after the album "Twenty-Eight Teeth" but recently Sarah told me to check out their new stuff. It is really amazing how different it is to me from those early songs such as "My Town." While not everything on there new album sounds like "Less than Comfortable" its still worth checking out.
