In the early days you may have heard or been told a number of... contradictory stories about the nature and origin of the ska scene and about the reasons why 23min of Ska came into being. We lied.

This episode is full of true blue friends, fantastic acquaintances, a few online pals, and total strangers who've always done right by me & the show. One song I think is absolutely beautiful, and another one reduced me to tears the first time I heard it. Honestly, a lot of the tracks on this episode are contenders for former, but the latter is a rare song indeed. 00:00 - Razika - Taste My Drea...

I created this episode 2 weeks ago, but I couldn't upload it. That's right, even with out internet I made the episode and I was trying to find a way to upload it and create art for it, and I just kept failing on those two fronts. So I tucked it away, ran the Holiday episode last week and now it's back to business... Mr. Business... dammit! I just thought of that! I should've given the art a Bob's...

 So sometimes I do elaborate jokes that only I get. Maybe "joke" is the wrong word... anyway... So these 6 songs are part of a theme... kinda. The order is: COVID, Team Ups, Lounge, Ska by Non-Ska, 90's Covers, and TV Themes. I first did this on the episode " Road Map to Madness " where that order kicks in in reverse on the 3rd track, then we had the episodes " the Virus That didn't Leave " for a...
