I see a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the peoples' wrists
They're watching every move we make
We're all included on their list

The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum

Go nuclear, the cowboy told us (Ah-oom)
And who am I to disagree? (Ah-oom)
'Cause when the madman flips the switch (Ah-oom)
The nuclear will go for me
—The Specials, The Lunatics

We never fought for freedom
For nasty little brutes like you
To come undo the work we do
You bring shame on this country for true
Embarrassed by you
We never fought for freedom
For nasty little brutes like you
To come undo the work we do
You bring shame on this country for true
Embarrassed by you

Been listening to The Specials a lot lately. I really love their more recent albums, “Encore” and “Protest Songs”. They feel especially relevant these days.

We are going back to 1980 and two-tone ska with the Brain DJ this morning. Enjoy!

Finished two tone sketch of Jessica Henwick chilling under the sun in the grass of a public garden.

Adding a subtle touch of smile to Jessica Henwick.

Inspired from a photograph.
I was looking for a two tone result so I just used one grey and one blue pencil.
The background was too neutral to my taste so I added lines (whose half is) parallel to the directions of lighting and of her eyes.

Specials, Specials, 1979 on Two-Tone

Ska greats The Specials (later renamed The Special AKA) in their debut full length on Coventry label Two-Tone, started by Jerry Dammers (of the Specials).

The Specials included Terry Hall, Neville Staple, Dammers, Lynval Golding, Roddy Radiation, Horace Panter, John Bradbury, Dick Cuthell and Rico Rodriguez.

This album was produced by Elvis Costello, and features some covers: “Monkey Man”, “Too Hot”, and “A Message To You, Rudy” had all been done by Jamaican artists. (Rico Rodriguez had planned on the original 15 years earlier as well!)

My copy is a 2017 pressing of the 2014 “digital remaster” – sounds great.

A man is posing indoors, smiling and pointing toward the camera with his right hand. He is wearing a gray fedora, a black t-shirt with a graphic design, black pants, and a hand-knitted black-and-white patterned cardigan featuring a ska or two-tone style design. The cardigan has an image of Walt Jabsco, the iconic dancing man associated with 2-Tone Records. He also wears black boots. The background includes a modern office setting with glass walls, a chair, a stereo system, and some furniture.

The same man is shown from behind, standing in an open-plan office with desks, computers, and modern lighting. His black-and-white cardigan prominently displays a large knitted graphic of Walt Jabsco, the iconic dancing ska figure from 2-Tone Records, framed by a checkered pattern. He is also wearing the gray fedora and black pants. The office has an industrial-modern style with exposed ceiling elements and a mix of furniture.

To that note…and someone with their finger on the pulse keep me informed…I phased out of chart music a loooooong time ago….is anything in the top 40 kicking up a stink politically these days? #2Tone #Ska #Punk #Folk #TwoTone #Vinyl
