On May 21st, 2017, The Hard Times declared it National Ska Day and said you can't prove it isn't. So why even try? Just put on your favorite banger, or better yet, tune in. This is SKA, and skank around in glorious celebration. thehardtimes.net/blog/national-…

Happy Birthday to Jane Wiedlin, Guitarist/vocalist for The Go-Go's. Sure, they are not a ska band, but they toured with Madness and The Specials(Jane and other members sang back up on More Specials), and Jane co-wrote the song 'Our Lips Are Sealed' with Terry Hall.
