In the early days you may have heard or been told a number of… contradictory stories about the nature and origin of the ska scene and about the reasons why 23min of Ska came into being.
We lied.
We are not at war, there is no competition.
This is a rescue operation.

This episode was a lot more… let’s say laid back when I started it… but, it couldn’t stand… it just didn’t feel right. So I started switching out songs, and switching out more… and more… and eventually I had an all different episode… and episode that feels right, I hope you all agree.
As always I’m trying to bring you a whole batch of new ska. I really hope you like this episode and that you’ve found a new band or two to check out. I think these are all fine fine acts that could use your ears (on recorded songs and live) as well as your wallets (if you have anything to give, that is.) Thanks so much of listening, it means a lot!
Hey listeners, still in the middle of moving, but I was able to get you this chilled out episode this week. Pour yourself a fancy cocktail and relax to this one.
I’ll admit, I had a little too much fun with this one. I really hope you all enjoy it too, even if the “ska” of it gets a little lost in the middle. Hope all y’all are having a great time, thanks for listening, thanks for telling your friends about the show (you have told them, right?) and have a great weekend!
