The Bodysnatchers - Long Lost Track from John Peel Sessions

A quick post for a Sunday. Below is video of another hard to find track by The Bodysnatchers titled "Ghost of the Vox Continental" that was recorded for a John Peel session in 1980. Enjoy.

Who Is Marco On The Bass?

Marco On The Bass: South Orange, NJ, United States; I heard ska and reggae music for the first time when I was 14 and it was love at first listen. I loved the sound, the look and the energy. It changed my life. A little bit later I picked up a bass and taught myself to play and in 1988 started the first ska/reggae band from New Jersey called Bigger Thomas. Maybe you've heard of us? As a musician I've had the good luck to meet and play with most of my musical heroes. That allows me to give readers the inside scoop on all the bands they love. I also tell the stories of the many bands who helped popularize ska in the U.S. and the U.K. I pay special attention to the birth of American ska and the stories of the bands and musicians who were ahead of their time and never received the recognition they deserved. I recently helped to form two new musical projects -- Rude Boy George, a band that performs ska, reggae and rocksteady versions of 80's new wave songs and Heavensbee, an original studio project that makes dub pop. My first book titled "Ska Boom: An Oral History About The Birth Of American Ska & Reggae 1976-1991" is available through DiWulf Publishing and Amazon.
