Voodoo Glow Skulls "Left For Dead"

Here's another Weekend Post:

Per yesterday's post, I'm searching for 90s ska nuggets . . .


See the video on Youtube.

Weekend posts are a chance to revisit songs that have happy memories, not of anything in particular, other than just hearing the tunes.

Many of these songs were tracks that I played during my 90s stint as an Alternative/Modern Rock radio show. They're tunes that I hardly hear these days, but are wonderful to revisit.

Dance Hall Crashers "Lost Again"

Here's another Weekend Post:

Warm weather and happy times put me in an mid-90s ska frame of mind.

There were a few bands with big hits, and lots of great little bands, with wonderful, half-remembered, fun fun fun songs, like this.

Superdeluxe "All I Wanted Was A Skateboard"

Instead of the usual Weekend Post, on weekends in December, I think I'll post some fun, weird holiday tunes.

This 90s power pop (partly punk) ditty perfectly expresses that familiar-but-oh-so-not-in-the-spirit-of-the-season sentiment: "Thanks, but couldn't you have gotten me something slightly cooler?"
