The HighLife

Hump day people! I've got some oldies but goodies today.  Hope you like.  Welcome to The Jumpoff!

A-Side
I can't really remember when i came across this next group.  There was a period when i was on a mission to hunt down as many random ska bands as i could find, and these guys are one of the bands that stuck out to me as note-worthy.  They've covered a lot of other bands, but then on the flip side they've been covered a bunch too.  Look them up, you might find a song you know that you didn't realize they did.  I like this particular one though because it gives off the vibe of going somewhere far far away (not where shrek lives), but just away.  Maybe it's the introduction that gives it away, i don't know.  The Specials - International Jet Set

B-Side

I was introduced to the music of this group by a good friend of mine, Jeremy, a couple of years ago.  I'd never really listened to them before that, and to be honest, i really still don't listen to them much.  Partly because they haven't released a new album for a while.  Anyhow, this song is from their 2001 album, Souljacker.  The Eels - That's not really funny

And that will do it for today.  Hope your hump day treats you well.  Until next time, be easy.
