23min of Ska : Disposable Assassin

Surreality just got funky! Or “rude” I should say “Surreality just got rude” because this is a ska podcast, right? Anyway, “Scud the Disposable Assassin” is a top tier comic for me, so over the top and fun and oddly, one of the easier episodes to find current music to fit the theme. Fun comic, fun music, fun episode! It’s cool to be a ska podcast.

(I do feel bad that I couldn’t fit “Werewolves in Space” by Llama Tsunami in though, as this comic features a werewolf in space! Seriously, check out this book!)

23min of Ska : Honey Dipped

23skaHONEYDIPTired. Overworked. Stressed. But then again, I’m hardly alone in that department. We all need to let go a bit. Lean back and breath. Life can get pretty complicated if we let it. It’s about the only thing that’ll tie itself up into knots if we don’t fuss with it. Get out of town if you need to, and if you live in the country, get into town, it’s more fun there than us city folk like to let on. That said, he’s another batch of fantastic ska music that I hope that you enjoy.
