23min of Ska Cross Over : Checkered Cast

At it again with Checkered Cast! This time I’m teaming up with Tara for the hardest and most rewarding episode so far! We both have such similar tastes that I’ve played a lot of what she had ideas for, but we got through it! And this episode is all the better for the hard work she put into it (that and having to deal with me!)

23min of Ska : There are Two Miles of Ditches for Every Mile of Road

This bit of trucker slang is just a basic reminder to drive safely. So I’d like to take the time to tell all of you out there to take care of yourselves! It’s rough out there, and it could get rougher, but don’t fret, because you’re pretty damn dope. If what you need is some ska music, here it is, but if you need something more, go out and get it. There’s no shame in asking for help, for your state of mind, or for your new favorite ska band. There are helpers everywhere and they’re easy to find.
