Madie Ruthless isn’t just the coolest lo-fi acoustic ska act to come along since the one, Chris Murray, but she’s also the person responsible for New Orleans’ Pick It Up Skazine.  I nearly forgot that she reprinted my review of the newest Slackers record, Self Medication.

Of course you can read it here on Ska Blah Blah, but then you’d be missing out on interviews with Sic & Mad, Tommi Infamous and Deal’s Gone Bad.  And Pick It Up will take you back to the days of zeroxed, DIY zine’s that used to connect us all to the scene. Check it out.

I didn’t get the chance to promote the episode of Roots Rock Rebels that featured Gabe Pressure, Bobby Babylon and myself, but I was very happy with Aaron’s troicket of podcaster interviews.  Right on the heels of his media spectacular comes another interview- this time with King Django!

Django and his Version City and Stubborn Records institutions have fallen on some hard times and several tragedies have plagued Mr. Baker, this summer.  But on the bright side of things, it sounds like some really killer records are on their way out.  Look forward to new Sic and Mad as well as a new Victor Rice Dub record.

While your at it, go ahead and listen to the show:  Listen to Roots Rock Rebels interview with King Django

And if your still in an interview listening mood, surf over to Pressure Drop and check out Gabe’s new chat with Horrace Painter from the Specials.
