It’s not everyday you get talk with royalty!  This week’s guest King Django calls in from the Stubborn Records office in New Jersey for part one of the two-part interview with Courtney.  The two discuss the early beginnings of Django’s past, the origins behind his name and how Rocker-T is to blame for its longevity, and a personal PSA about the real consequences of Sex, Drugs, Ska and Reggae.  King Django also shares his theory about music based on values and the turmoil of independent ska labels around the turn of the century.  So listen in and stay tuned for the epic conclusion of the King Django interview coming soon.

The planets aligned this week and Courtney was able to talk to not one, but TWO members from long-standing punk-reggae group Sic & MAD.  Guitarist Vic Ruggiero and frontman Happy call-in from Version City Studios, home of Stubborn Records, to promote their latest record Songs For The Revolution.  Listen in as the guys chat about why it’s “punk rock” to like MySpace, how Happy is indirectly to blame for the formation of The Slackers, and how the genesis of Sic & MAD is a story of kids lying to impress a cute girl.  From high school reunions to Hot Topic, Vic and Happy discuss it all.

The New York ska scene seems to be kicking into full-gear lately, so it’s only appropriate that we take time to check in with Sammy Kay from the sizzling Brooklyn rocksteady band The Forthrights.  Sammy and host Courtney Klos chat about growing up in the Long Island ska scene, why King Django College should be an accredited educational institute, and even get to some questions asked by our listeners.

You can check out The Forthrights HERE and on MYSPACE.  You can head over to Stubborn Records to buy their record.
