It wasn’t until after I had already picked out the songs for this episode that I realized, just how darned odd most of them are.  I was recently allowed access to Mr. Paul Stark’s massive ska collection, and I’d guess about 80% of this episode was drawn from there.  Sure, there still a fair share of the standard fare, like brand new tunes from The Green Room Rockers, The Pinstripes, The Drastics, Madness and Courtney John- but many of the songs are coming straight from the fringe’s of the late-80′s/early-90′s ska scene.  All-in-all, a fairly mixed bag of music that you’ve not likely heard before.

I also want to give a big shout out to Miss Maddie Ruthless for providing the introduction for episode.
