Deep Listening Day #57 — English Beat: Wha'ppen (1981). this is their underrated second album. I think all 3 albums are essential. my sense is that the debut is best remembered, the 3rd was the biggest hit, at least in the U.S, and #Whappen is a bit forgotten.

"I've never had a hit record, I never won a Grammy Award, and Rolling Stone has never done a piece about me...
I'm still an underground performer."

"Did you know this iconic ska silhouette is a trans woman and ska singer named Brigitte Bond? The English Beat were inspired to draw her from a photo of her dancing with Prince Buster and it ended up being the inspiration for the now iconic “Rude Girl” silhouette. We’ve always been around and we’ve always been creative icons 💜🏳️‍⚧️🤘🏻"

Sore but happy! Last night I saw 2 of my fave 80s alternative bands: X, with their LA punk/rockabilly sound, and The English Beat, with their UK ska/punk/new wave sound, in the historic Elsinore Theater. English Beat's Dave Wakeling, frontman and only surviving original member, still great at age 67. X's original lineup is still intact. Exene Cervenka's energy (she's also 67!) still amazing. Once I recover, back to the studio. #X #englishbeat #punk #ska #music #alternativemusic #80s #80smusic
