Share the fun, and buy some music."

It's been a sort of cure for my ills in these redonkuolus times. This is one of my favorite songs to play in our live show lately. It’s been a sort of cure for my ills in these redonkuolus times.

So it struck me the world needed a ridiculous song. One day with my band, The Uptones, we all got ridiculous in the studio. Here's the result. I'm really proud of it.

"Ridiculous" is a clever assessment of the absurdities that make American culture, well, American culture. Backed by the typical upbeat movement we come to expect from all eight members of Berkeley's original ska band, The Uptones. I concur with MKK, expect today's MP3 Jackpot Winner to have some legs! Can't wait to see The Uptones at Slim's Thursday, headlining KFOG's Local Scene Night. Keep your eyes on these guys.
