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!
To tell the truth, I really never thought about doing an episode focused in on a single city before. And while I’m sure Boston isn’t the only city in the world that could produce such a solid episode, it’s the first one that came to my mind. Heck, I got the idea a few weeks ago and then did nothing but basically research which Big D and Bosstones songs I’d played before (to make sure I didn’t repeat any) until I sat down this afternoon, and it came so easy. Boston, thanks for being such a good town for ska music! (Also, the number of times I typed Bosstone when I meant to type Boston is far too high!)
Are you ready for another awesome episode of 23min of Ska? Well, it’s Thursday, so you have no choice, it’s here. Now, will you listen to it? That’s wholly up to you! But I hope you will, there’s some really great songs on here, from a bunch of really talented musicians. But if you don’t want to check it out, I don’t know what to do with you. Have fun being boring?
Nothing is True.
Yay! Music! Hoorah for ska! Let’s get to it. We all have a ton going on this time of year. Thanks for downloading this silly little podcast and listening to it! I was dead tired while making this episode, so I did tend towards fast paced songs on this one to keep me awake while putting it together. Oh, and songs that just make me smile, like the opener.
