The original "baldheads", the skinheads, were English lovers of ska and rock steady. Their look was co-opted first by National Front racists, then neo-Nazis... now, by Wall Street vipers. A natural progression, methinks. SetList: "With A Little Help From My Friends" - Luciano - Sgt.

Podcast Summary

This is the online access to archived programs from Goldfinger, the Selector. The preponderance of selections come from the long-lived "Reggae Vibrations" program, in constant broadcast on Friday afternoons, 2-4PM (eastern) since 1979 (some kind of record, probably).
