Here we are. Another week older. Another week wiser. Another week with an episode of 23min of Ska for all of you! This episode seems like a throwback to the early episodes of this show. Hope that it isn’t too “third wave-y” for anyone. But yeah, just like every week, I’m glad you are there to listen. It means a lot that you keep “podcasting” in, checking the facebook or the website each week. So thanks! This episode is for all the supporters out there, present, future, and past!

Whew, at the end of another 23 episodes! Yes, folks, this is the last donut in the box. What does the future hold? Who knows! You can’t spend that much time worrying about things you can’t predict. I mean you can prepare for the eventual, but you can never prepare of the unknown, so stop stressing so much. Get yourself some good tunes, some good friends and relax.
To tell the truth, I really never thought about doing an episode focused in on a single city before. And while I’m sure Boston isn’t the only city in the world that could produce such a solid episode, it’s the first one that came to my mind. Heck, I got the idea a few weeks ago and then did nothing but basically research which Big D and Bosstones songs I’d played before (to make sure I didn’t repeat any) until I sat down this afternoon, and it came so easy. Boston, thanks for being such a good town for ska music! (Also, the number of times I typed Bosstone when I meant to type Boston is far too high!)
Alright, let’s get down to it. It’s been a long week. We all need to celebrate the fact that we’ve just about wrapped up another one. Things can suck, oh they surely can! But we can’t let that stop us. All the craziness and horror going on around us, we have to push through it. We have to fight it. If dancing and ska music help you, then you’ve come to the right place.
Nothing is True.

Yay! Music! Hoorah for ska! Let’s get to it. We all have a ton going on this time of year. Thanks for downloading this silly little podcast and listening to it! I was dead tired while making this episode, so I did tend towards fast paced songs on this one to keep me awake while putting it together. Oh, and songs that just make me smile, like the opener.
