23min of Ska : Rudy’s Place

After RJ accidentally burns down an episode of 23min of Ska, the local ska podcast, Rudy, with RJ’s help, wants to start make their own podcast episode and call it Rudy’s Place. They ask [UNNAMED SKAPUNK BAND] to help obtain some listeners, but because [UNNAMED SKAPUNK BAND] invested too much time & energy into NFTs, they realize they don’t have enough fan support. However, Estelle comes up with the funds needed, and Rudy’s Place has its grand listening party on Thursday.

23min of Ska : Disposable Assassin

Surreality just got funky! Or “rude” I should say “Surreality just got rude” because this is a ska podcast, right? Anyway, “Scud the Disposable Assassin” is a top tier comic for me, so over the top and fun and oddly, one of the easier episodes to find current music to fit the theme. Fun comic, fun music, fun episode! It’s cool to be a ska podcast.

00:00 – the Steady 45’s – Slowdown Heart (Meaning of Love ’20)
03:21 – Bad Operation – Bagel Rooks (Bad Operation ’20)
05:31 – the Skalinskis – Somebody Stole My Baby (Freak Club ’18)
08:11 – Soweto – Don’t Look Back (Turn on the Music Again ’17)
10:55 – Mighty Megatons – Atomic Bomb (Atomic Bomb / I Want to Know ’19)
13:31 – the Void Union – Mine (Return of the Super Vape ’19)
15:35 – the Slackers – Robots (the Boss Harmony Sessions ’07)
20:14 – Bomb the Music Industry! – This Graceless Planet (Others! Others! ’09)

(I do feel bad that I couldn’t fit “Werewolves in Space” by Llama Tsunami in though, as this comic features a werewolf in space! Seriously, check out this book!)
