So once again I went to the awesome listeners of the show (this time in /r/ska) and asked them what they’d like to hear. I looked at the suggestions, counted them, and considered some of their reasons and it has resulted in this brand new fancy episode. “Super Rad” and “a Better Place, a Better Time” were some of the most suggested songs, so they were picked as the opening and closing tracks. I’d never heard of los Capitanes before, and I’m so glad to have found them now! The other four songs are from bands that I like that, for some reason, I haven’t played as much as I should have! So I thank you listeners for righting that wrong! There was a lot of other great suggestions but a bunch of those bands I had just played in the last few episodes, and I like to keep a good variety going! Thanks again for the help, this was a blast to put together for all of you!

the Aquabats! – Super Rad (the Fury of the Aquabats! ’97)

los Capitanes – Feelin’ Seedy (No Fun Intended ’06)

Bomb the Music Industry! – 25 Hour Goddamn Telethon (Get Warmer ’07)

Mad Caddies – No Hope (Duck and Cover ’98)

Green Room Rockers – Northbound Train (Hoosier Homegrown ’07)

Mustard Plug – You (Evildoers Beware! ’97)

Streetlight Manifesto – a Better Place, a Better Time (Everything Goes Numb ’03)
