Image via Wikipedia Its always a moving experience when listening to the words sung by The Honorable Robert Nesta Marley . I can liken it to reading history books or inspiring scriptures written thousands of years ago. At times, amazingly Bob seems to be announcing a breaking news flash filled with events of the present day. Then there are the those moments when therapeutic relief is delivered or mellow moods are set. Bob gave me a pep-talk just this week. Legendary - This is the music of THE LEGEND.

The Grammys are this Sunday and if memory serves me right, the general sentiment is kind of "blah" compared to previous years. It use to be an honor to perform, but now you have artists declining (Bon Iver) the opportunity. Adele will win > 2 Grammys and the Beach Boys playing with Foster the People smells kind of desperate. Who knows, Katy Perry might actually go home with an award or Skrillex might be selected as Best New Artist? Kaskade // Deadmau5 - Move For Me (TABS Remix) [...]

The live version isn't a patch on the studio version to be honest (it's overlong and doesn't have that delicious laugh at the end), but this got me thinking about songs where the live version is the definitive version. So far the only one I can come [...]
Happy Friday folks. Don't forget to kick back this weekend. This reggae might help: From Two Sevens Clash : Culture: Get Read To Ride The Lion To Zion From Black Sounds Of Freedom : Black Uhuru: I Love King Selassie From War Ina Babylon : Max Romeo & The Upsetters: War Ina Babylon [...]
Catch a Fire is the major-label-debut album for Jamaican reggae band The Wailers, released on Island Records in 1973. The album established the band as international superstars.

A major retailer based in Ireland attempts to maximise profits by taking advantage of an ill-advised government-approved employment scheme.
This concert, Marley's last, is a very fine example of Bob Marley and his friends/musicians in concert. Arguably not as fierce as "Babylon By Bus" or the even earlier "Live!" (both from the 70's),... Download your favourite album at The Mood Indicator
