Forget AIG and Citigroup. No once-trusted brand has ever seen its stock plummet as spectacularly as ska's did after the mid-'90s. So you have to tip your hat to the Aggrolites. Not only do they hitch their horse to the most unhip wagon imaginable, they do right by it: No fratty horn sections; no readymade chink-a-chink guitar; just one solid, rocksteady bubble-groove after another. The logo on this month's IV is Tim Armstrong's Hellcat, but expect more Sly & Robbie than Strummer & Jones. It may not undo all the third-wavers' gross mismanagement, but it's the right first step in the bailout. Take note, Geithner.
