Remembering Justin Hinds

Christopher Porter over at "The Suburbs Are Killing Us" has posted a few tracks in memory of the recently-deceased Justin Hinds. For fans of ska's origins, I'd highly recommend these tracks.

Of course, I'd also highly recomment Christopher's entire blog - he wrote a good history of ska for Jazz Times not too long ago, and has been a window to some extraordinarily good music in the past.

If I had more time, I'd dig up a list of the bands that have covered Hinds' work - but I don't. Just know that if you look around, you'll see his influence all over the place.
