HUGE NEWS: Announcing the Save The Ska Show fundraising compilation album featuring 60 bands including Better Than The Book!

HUGE NEWS: Announcing the Save The Ska Show fundraising compilation album featuring 60 bands including one track by Better Than The Book! Let's save The Ska Show with Beefy! (Releases this Saturday 30th January)


Hi everyone and I have some HUGE news to share with you today! Those of you who've been following Better Than The Book over the past few years have certainly heard of the amazing Ska Show with Beefy, based in Melbourne and proudly the 2nd most listened to Ska music podcast in the world! The show has played a tonne of Better Than The Book since my debut on there in 2019, but with all that's happened over the past year and finances running low, the future of the show is looking uncertain...


But when things are looking dire, people come together, and so Beefy along with 60 ska/skapunk bands/artists around the world (including myself) have put our heads and hearts together to release a 60 track fundraising compilation album to keep the show on the air! There'll even be one BTTB track on there! Which one? You'll have to wait and see! Pre-orders for the album are now open and the album releases this Saturday 30th January! Check it out on Bandcamp below:


https://theskashowwithbeefy.bandcamp.com/releases


It's been an absolute honour to be part of this fundraising compilation, and if you're a lover of ska music and/or the show, then that's 60 tracks from around the world for as little as 12 Australian Dollars (not even £7), with the option to donate more if you wish. Let's keep the skanking going and save this great show!


That's it for the news today and I'll be back on Wednesday for some more Patreon rewards as well as on Saturday when the album goes live! Until then, I hope you have a great week ahead, and thanks as always for supporting my music and all the things related to it in any way you can! Take care and keep on skankin'!

Shan't ask for revelations as to which track's to be included, but I do be curious if the choice is yours or Beefy's? Is every artist contributing one of their favorites or more so vice versa?

Jabun

So interestingly I put forward a few tracks I thought Beefy'd like (judging by what he'd played on the show already) for him to choose from and he went ahead and chose a completely different one! I guess that's hint of some sort XD I guess it's Beefy's choice in the end :)

Cyberdevil

Aw man! XD Really making a point there huh. Or just: really liked the other one better and didn't think much about the potential implications of said very helpful gesture circumventing decision! First impression he's either a bit stubborn or simply very non-compromising in regard to preference and selection, as a good host should be I guess. :) Interesting to hear!

Jabun

No offence taken at all :) I think he said he chose the track he chose for a more ska-punk vibe in the playlist (another clue there), while maybe he wanted the more pure-ska tracks for the radio shows at the time? I think it all depends on which other tracks other people sent too, trying to get a good balance of fit and variety in there :) There's also the possibility that he wanted to put tracks he hadn't played on the show before on the album so there's more new material to entice listeners :) Many possible reasons I suppose :D

Cyberdevil

Mmm for sure, you've really done your alternative track selection reason reasoning. :) Sounds probable. Throwing together a good playlist from individual albums is pretty tricky indeed, think I've only ever done it thoroughly once for some cover design project back in school but what an unexpectedly meticulous process it was... as long as it turns out good overall! :) Hope you're still happy with the selection!

Jabun

Too true especially when there's over 60 tracks to organise! Hehe, I'm just happy to be included XD Definitley happy with the selection indeed :)

Cyberdevil

Yeaah that's definitely more than I had back then! XD Good to hear.
