Things have moved swiftly with The Interpreter, & seemingly all to the good. Allow me to express my regrets for the lengthy interval that will pass before I am able to renew my account, but time grows short before I depart for (almost) the West Coast & there are many demands on my time.

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day: SKApril
Operation Ivy, "Sound System" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: When ska first arose on Jamaica, a "sound system" was an alliance of musicians, disc jockeys, & sound engineers, an organization for producing this brand new sound. It is to these sound systems that Operation Ivy's "Sound System" pays tribute.
