#249 Chris Candy

Hey all! This week, musician, actor, and podcaster Chris Candy joins us for our tribute to ska. We play ska, we talk ska, and we live ska for an hour or so. Music Neüs is there for those who love neüs, This Week in Music History makes a small appearance, and we riff on the best real and fictional ska band names. PLUS Jonah has a revelation about a Blink-182 album title. Enjoy!

SONGS
"When You Say It's Okay" by The Bruce Lee Band

Proud progenitor of #thegreatpodcastswindle. Since 2012, Jonah Ray, Neil Mahoney and Cash Hartzell have argued, laughed, loved and gradually cut back on their drinking all while loosely discussing and playing submitted music. The three man team, often with a guest, sometimes without, are constantly pushing boundaries in the medium of "music news" Not since Rolling Stone introduced us to the New Journalism of Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson has a medium given rise to an artistic movement more clearly than podcasting and Jonah Raydio. And as an investment in the phrase "the best music is the best because it's personal" each week our heroes match a situation, a hypothetical question with their own personal favorite. Past "themes" have resulted in a fantasy novel based on Run The Jewels, a playlist of Beta Male Bachelor Party bangers and new directions for corporate entity radio stations.
