The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril XVI

Mad Caddies, "Road Rash" from Duck and Cover (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: The Mad Caddies are beneficiaries of SKAffirmative Action. They enjoyed the SKApril limelight in 2012, only the second SKApril, & in subsequent years, but have not enjoyed that limelight since 2018. "Road Rash" is a worthy song—our charity does not extend so far as to inflict bad songs on our beloved readers—but I don't often listen to Duck and Cover, the only Mad Caddies album in my music library. SKAffirmative Action exists to help SKApril showcase the bredth of ska. Without it, & the other rules around SKApril,I would just replay my favorite songs by my favorite bands over & over again, & that's what the SKAfterParty & SKAugust are for.
