Dan and Chris (the horns) make an appearance on this episode and help play our smash song W.T.F.  FIVE DOLLARS!!!

We just played a show at The Broken Cup Cafe in Joliet and it was a great show.  Listen here to get a few details about it.  Also, more underwear discussion for the boys of skahouse.

We wind this up with some Mongolian Throat Singing.

We start out this episode with a hillarious story about how Kyle was being a dick to a Tivo operator until he found out that guy was a rude boy!  And his brother is in a pretty sweet ska band called Half-Stache from Albuquerque (http://www.myspace.com/halfstache).  They've got a sweet sound; check them out.  Reggie tells a story about how someone tried to sell Ryan crack rock and then Reggie gets chewed out for failing at the Podcast challenge.

After playing our sound Repeal 22 (about Bill Clinton and the 22nd amendment), we discuss a few reasons why we don't like Johnny Cash, Brandon Oliver, or the Olympics in Chicago.

But we do like the new Cook County ban on bottled water. 

We review the Tusker show at Reggie's while Anthony and Sarah have a fight.  Then listen to some really awesome dream stories - one about time travel and one about pimps.  Ooooh, I forgot to mention in my dream story that the little girl who knows about the time travelling starts blackmailing me to keep it a secret.  The story is less cool if I left that out.

Acoustic performance of the smash hit Searching for Yesterday with Mr. Anthony Johnson.  This show almost didn't happen as Anthony gets pulled over on his way to Skahouse.  Listen in and find out why.

While we wait, we discuss our hatred for the musical Rent, why we don't wanna read your blog, and why voting is pointless.

Also, Kyle got invited to join a new band... what will he decide???

We play a rare gem featuring an old singer with old lyrics.  This song used to be called It's Not You.  Learn about the Judgementals being assholes.  Enjoy a discussion of words.  Also, we've got ALZHEIMER'S jokes!

Once Chris Curtis got a cellphone.  The Judgementals wrote a song about it.  Additionally, a small typo in the title of the song causes some controversy.

Also, we are your source for learning about "the blood and sexual".

A mediocre live acoustic performance of The Blah Blah Blah along with commentary on the song and lots of judgements.  Also, a few reasons why we hate Millenium Park.

We review the MU330/Mustard Plug show, talk about some local ska scene gossip, and most importantly, Ryan tells the story of how he got rid of his tape worm.

And we release a Podcast exclusive song about it!

So the Ska House is now considered a fraternity of sorts.  We're currently entertaining the possibility of franchises in other cities.

In this episode we discuss a bit about what life is like here at the Ska House.  We also give our response to recent CTA announcements about fare increases and service cuts.  We set some expectations for a ska party we're going to attend.

Lastly Ryan accuses Kyle of singing along to Tiffany.

Ok, so as the title suggests, I'm kind of ashamed of this episode.  We mostly talk about porn and STDs.  When I tried to edit the bad stuff out, it ended up being only 12 minutes long so here it is uneditted in all it's brutal glory.

Also, is Billy Joel a racist?

Kyle

We discuss the dos and don'ts of buying instruments on eBay, when to take solos (and most importantly when not to), and the awesomeness/lameness of having guest appearances on your songs.  Flavio returns for another guest appearance and despite talking too closely into his microphone, manages to coherently insult MP Shows.  And for the fifth show running, Kyle insults another band.

Our primary topic is Ska=Nerd.  Guest Steve from Standard Deviation joins us again to talk about working for a communist newspaper.  Kyle talks shit about two big ska bands that he doesn't like.

Discussion of when it's appropriate to Judge on someone.  Guests are Flavio and Steve from A Standard Deviation.

We discuss this age old question.  Is it cool or not to put SKA in your band's name.  Such as...

Oskama Bin Laden and the Taliband

Skankin' Pickle

Mephiskapheles

Skalibaba and the 40oz Horns

etc

Reggie, Ryan, and Kyle review the Oasis Cafe show played with The Kool Aid Kids and The Grape Soda Jerks.

And hey, only one obvious edit where we said unairable stuff!

We trash talk hippies, speak out against homeless people, and discuss the nature of digital music.  By the way, I read a retraction for what I said last week about Still Standing.

We discuss comps amongst other random stuff.  I had to do some editting of really awful things we said.  Most of it was smooth but there is a hillarious part near the end where the conversation changes 180 degrees for no apparant reason.  Awesome!  Tune in next time to hear a little bit about what I editted and why.

As for this episode, Reggie is not wearing pants.

Our first show.  Sooooo sorry for the kind of bad audio quality.  We'll be getting much better in the future.  We judge on a few things and play some songs.
