Ok, sure, a Dark Pretzel ride isn’t technically a roller coaster. It’s something else. It’s in the family for sure. Kinda like this episode. All these songs are for sure in the ska family, but they mess around with the style, push and pull away from the beat, but there’s a touch of ska in each. I hate to brag, but I really like this episode… a whole lot. I hope you do too!

Oh man, this episode was so close to not coming out at all! Seriously, big hardware failure over here! But things got figured out and BAM! It. Is. Ska time!
Hello friends, I hope that this episode is finding you well. It’s been another long week, but man oh man are we in “new ska season!” So many great releases just since the last episode! The Fuss, the Sentries, and Flip & the Combined Effort are all seriously fresh. Not to say that the new album from the Stupid Stupid Henchmen is more than a week or too old either! I truly hope you enjoy this fine selection of music and that it adds just a little to your day.

You suckas ready for some ska? I got some right here for you! Kicking things off with a premier song from the New Limits! They have a new album coming out next week, so be sure to check it out! After that, I’m just giving you a whole mess of good music. I can’t help it, there’s just so much good ska out there, it’s hard not to share it with y’all!
Can’t stop, won’t stop bringing you all the ska. I don’t know what you do with these podcasts. You could be listening to them as you get ready in the morning, while going out for a run, dancing around your bedroom or queuing it up for your ride home from work. Whatever the case is, I’m glad you’re here and listening, thanks!
Ok, well, this week’s episode wasn’t supposed to be this week’s episode. I don’t know when I was going to make an episode like this next, but it wasn’t in my plans. Then the Pomps had to go and release a new and fantastic EP last week and inspire this! Next week I’ll get back with the plan, but this week… this week had to come NOW!
