Tonight we celebrate Black History Month in a number of ways. We have tributes to Wesley Willis, Poly Styrene, and Mick Collins. We have feature segments on Black punks within a post-punk genre. And we feature music segments that blend punk with ska (VILLAINS and LOIN GROIN), dub (JOHNNY REGGAE RUB FOUNDATION and DUBIOZA KOLETIV) and rap (LES GARCONS BOUCERS and DEEZ NUTS).
