Episode 026: The Minnesota Ska Scene and the Teenage Graveyard of Emotion, feat. Aidan Sullivan

Frequent podcast guest and professional hater Aidan Sullivan is here to discuss the Minnesota ska scene. Along the way, we discuss how to break a 7-word alliteration c-c-c-combo, how Emo kids and ska kids were the Mods and Rockers of the Early 2000s, and how the video for Fall Out Boy’s “A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More Touch Me” was both the Citizen Kane, and the Bad Blood of its time.  Signature Cocktail: Hater’s Margarita  It may not part the Red Sea, but it will bring back memories of being dusted in the dark up at Penetration Park and getting plastered.
