Funky Punk

As mentioned in a previous post, I've been listening to a mix that The Beta Band did for Mary Anne Hobbs' Breezeblock show on BBC Radio 1.



I've got 2002 down on the tape but the numerous uploads to SoundCloud suggests a July 2001 broadcast date, so I'm guessing I caught a replay.

And it's still well worth a replay. One of the highlights is Dillinger's Funky Punk, which the video below states is reggae but it's more than that, it's reggae with a funky punk edge - it's well weapon.
