https://radjose.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/maymixtape80s-sideapart1.mp3 It’s May again, that means it is time for the start another mix tape! This time I’m taking on the ’80s. Don’t confuse this with a best of the ’80s kind of thing, it is just a bunch of great ska from that decade. Sure, it is a lot of great songs and over looked gems, so there’s a solid reason to listen in. I’ve used a lot of the hit songs in other episodes, but there was no slim pickings when it comes to the ’80s with what was left for me to pull from. I sincerely hope that you enjoy this little trip back in time, and look forward to the rest of “virtual 90min mix tape” as May continues.
