What is a podcast? Is it something you save for future listens?
23min of Ska was produced by RJ Phoenix
“Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows,
Do you want ska podcasts?
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.
Yes, yet another ending for 23min of Ska. This is only the end of a volume, it’ll be rebooting next week, as always to bring you some more top ska! Hope you all dug the X-Men story line theme, I’ll take any excuse to dig through my long boxes, or (more likely) fire up my tablet and get wrapped up in these stories again. Once again, I hope I’ve spent the last 23 episodes bringing you a few new bands to follow, and reminding you of your old favorites.
They said it couldn’t be done… wait… maybe they said it shouldn’t be done… that seems more likely… either way, here it is, more songs and bands than have ever been stuffed into a single episode of 23min of Ska. 23min of Ska is always coming at you with a lot of great ska music, we’re just pushing the envelope this time.
If you want to grow a new future to replace what you just cut away, you have to water it with your heart’s blood. I mean, what else can I say in this tiny field of text that I haven’t said two hundred and twenty two times before? I’ll boil it down: Go, live! Live.
Everyone knows that ska was created in Jamaica, but ska’s second home was Britain. Again, a fact that most ska fans know. The fun part about Great Britain is that island still is producing some of the best ska around. Here’s a small sample of these great bands! Be they English, Scottish or Welsh, they are putting out some great, great sounds!
