So I realize it's technically closer to the 4th Thursday, but ... what the hell December ? Five Thursdays in 1 month!? That's some Mayan harbinger of doom-style-shizz! Well, as you may or may have not noticed, we added yet another holiday tune to our big-player-up-top! Auld Lang Syne in a rocksteady fashion! Oh yeah! We used this as the backdrop for our WXRT promo a few years back, but realized we had never put it up as an instrumental ... so please to enjoy!

Anyway, twenty-and-a-half? You may ask yourself? What am I doing here? This is not my beautiful home! Twenty-and-a-half 'cause it's not really a Blends mix and it's not really themed with anything ... As you can read here we took over the airwaves at KDHX in St. Louis a few weekend ago for a guest set on Ska's The Limit. So this is a 1-track mp3 of that set, plus some bonus material we couldn't fit in, and alot of the talkover stuff taken out as well ... there is some blending, but it's mostly just a hard/rare dub/dee-jay mix. Drastics Radio.

10000 WATTS OF MEGAWATTS!

Drastics Sound a big big sound ... so get ready for a tough selection of hard and obscure dubs ... Thanks to JJ for letting us on! Good thing that lawsuit from the FCC (The FCC v. The Drastics) stops at the state border!

Also, lest ye forget! The Drastics are back in STL this Friday, December 10 at The Gramophone for a strictly instrumental set with special guest Gerald Bailey on trumpet. We're doing the late show starting at 10pm following The Joe Krown Trio's early show. Come for the Krown Trio, and stay for The Drastics for free! That's A Booya!
