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.

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.

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 …
