You know why this makes me laugh?  Because it hurts me, and then I laugh at myself for feeling stung.

		<title>Pama In/Pama Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In their own fresh way, Pama International have always been at once looking backwards and moving forwards. Their new record, Pama Outernational is a prime example of how the group maintains transparent influences without succumbing to the limitations of any one genre.
Despite being an all-dub band, Pama International aren&#8217;t a retro band, they aren&#8217;t recalling [...]]]></description>

The truth is, I&#8217;m not all that sorry.  I&#8217;m still doing the Ska&#8217;s The Limit radio show, and I&#8217;ve even been podcasting for the boys over at Pressure Drop/Music Is Our Occupation.  Trust, I&#8217;m keeping busy.
