I DJ'd this the other day. Had some wizened old black dude come up to me asking me to write down the name of the song.

I'd've gone for "Your Honour" but anyway, TUNE

― Y Kant Torres Red (Noodle Vague), Friday, 4 February 2011 17:14 (fourteen years ago)

Actually it was "What DA" that I played, but Pluto's hugely overrated.

"Your Honour"'s my favourite too.

I found a "ska greatest hits" Lp in the garage and played it for the kids.

Usual suspects (AlCapone, Longshot), a couple from UK (Specials, Beat), a couple I had to skip (MaxRomeo, Judge Dread), and then got reminded how awesome this one is!

― Mark G, Friday, 4 February 2011 17:17 (fourteen years ago)

Overrated? really?

Might as well make this a thread of celebrating Mr Shervington

― Y Kant Torres Red (Noodle Vague), Friday, 4 February 2011 17:20 (fourteen years ago)

Whoa whoa I meant underrated! I was at work when I wrote that and I must have been distracted. Sorry pluto!!

― Bernard V. O'Hare (dog latin), Saturday, 5 February 2011 02:32 (fourteen years ago)

Can I just clarify and say pluto's the best thing I've discovered in a long long time. His greatest hits is tune after tune. Absolutely wonderful and not at all overrated

― Bernard V. O'Hare (dog latin), Saturday, 5 February 2011 02:36 (fourteen years ago)

Ah, that's good.

DL, I wasn't disputing as I only know his 2 hit tracks. Good to know his hits album sounds like more of the same quality.

― Mark G, Sunday, 6 February 2011 20:38 (fourteen years ago)

Now, there's an innovative alternative to the hoary old "homosexual panic" defence. The goat made me do it, Your Honour!

― mike t-diva, Sunday, 6 February 2011 23:32 (fourteen years ago)

Hey Mark - definitely get hold of his greatest hits. There really aren't any duds on it at all.

― Bernard V. O'Hare (dog latin), Monday, 7 February 2011 16:00 (fourteen years ago)
