Auto Reverse returned from winter break with some unfortunate news; legendary Specials frontman Terry Hall had passed away. We did a Two-Tone mini-set in the middle of the evening, featuring some great ska hits. We also learned late about the death of Tom Verlaine, frontman of the influential New York band Television, and closed out the show with a mini-tribute to him as well. So many tributes!
On the brighter side, this was our first episode featuring new co-host Keith, who selected a few great tracks (*) and would go on to make key contributions throughout the season.
