Eric Din discovers Tropical Snow

Science reveals exciting new phenomena at Berkeley Cat Records World Recording Hindquarters

While experimenting with the possibilities of Ska in 6/4 time, Professor Din encountered a spontaneous snowfall on his fancy tropical umbrella drink. Peer-reviews are skeptical, but Din knows what he saw. Here in time for the weekend, is the song on Bandcamp, Pandora, Apple Music, DEEZER, and Spotify. A chill meander through the brisky straits where a suave penguin bartender serves fine pineapple cocktails to polar bears dancing the Watusi.

Poppin’ the Ska with Din

UPDATE, January 5, it’s LIVE!! In Bandcamp. Yipee!

Original post:

Our intrepid Chief Ska Cat (CSC) Eric Din has compiled an album of his solo-ish Ska material. Some of these have previously been released as singles, or as album tracks, and some are newbies – introduced to the world in this very collection. The 12-track SkAterwaul is scheduled to go LIVE in the Bandcamps on January the 5th, that is, the first Catursunday of the second quarter of the millenium. Why yes, Petunias. Pre-order now, while society lasts! Via the convenient widgetus, below. You may also PLAY the first four tracks presently, already, forthwith, with alacrity. In less florid parlance, have at it. Berkeley Cat Records thanks you.
