Trucker lingo translation of the title: apparently it means “Love and Kisses” because it is double of the normal “Eighty-Eights” which means simply “Best Wishes.” But I’m finding a lot of trucker slang that translates to simply “Best Wishes” and I’m not finding more than one resource that says “Double Eighty-Eights” is even real trucker CB radio talk. I coulda been hoodwinked on this one my fine listeners, but you know, the intent was there to name it something sweet, because, it’s the kinda-sorta St. Valentine’s Day episode. Get into it!
You are smart.
Oh man, I’m so excited!
This episode is STACKED! Best of all, we’re kicking things off with an exclusive premiere from the Holophonics! WOAH! This fantastic song will be on their new album out on May 11th. Speaking of new songs we have a brand new song from the Georgetown Orbits off their brand new album! Not only that but I’m following that up with a bunch of songs from a bunch of bands I’m excited to see this weekend at Back to the Beach. It’s gonna be a full-on ska weekend! Fantastic new ska & ska/punk, great older ska & ska/punk! I told you this episode was great!

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!
