Back in 2008 I did the rare post on Bob Marley , who I tend to avoid mostly cause I am a straight up reggae/Jamaican music snob and besides Bob being played to death, it's hard for me to shake the image of legions of hippies with dreadlocks doing the black power fist pump in the college dorm quad. Personal hang ups aside, Get Up, Stand Up does make for a good bit of protest music, and the original post I did was tempered by being a rare funk cover. [...]
I've been a pretty big fan of Bedouin Soundclash for a while now, ever since they released "Sounding A Mosaic" back in 2004. After their prior and personal favorite release of "Street Gospels", I was pretty excited to check out their latest release "Light The Horizon".In all honesty, I've actually been sitting on the review of "Light The Horizon" for months now, hoping I'd warm up to it
Just Go With It is another standard Hollywood romantic comedy with the occasional Sandler wit, but one thing that sets it apart in particularly is the well done Police mashups, among a few others, that play throughout the film. I've collected five to share with you today, although they aren't the mastered versions. According to Party Ben , who put together two of the five mashups, Sony has no plans on releasing them, yet. But he mentioned that if we get enough hype going they just might release 'em. So hit up the comments [...]
Its Bob Marley week on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' as we honour the passing of the music legend . Lauryn Hill made a rare late night appearance to cover two of his classics; "Chances Are" & "Could You Be Loved". I've been disappointed with some of her recent performances on Rock The Bells and Coachella because she doesn't sound like anything that resembles her vocally. But she sounded great last night covering those Bob Marley songs. Hit the skip to check the performances
Summer is in the air, and obviously music is needed to crank up the summertime awesomeness levels even more. With warm seasons fast approaching (at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere), we felt that it was necessary to share the best of summer with you in a playlist. Whether you define summer by early morning jogs on the beach, lazy days in the park, or evening barbecues, you can be assured we've got it covered somewhere in the next 10 tracks. So grab your shorts, sunscreen, and iPod... and prepare yourself for that bright, summer [...]
Ms. Lauryn Hill covers Bob Marley's 'Could You Be Loved' and 'Chances Are' in tribute to the 30th anniversary of the reggae legend's death.

Formerly-reclusive singer Lauryn Hill recently extended her her 12-city tour , but she took a detour last night to participate in the Bob Marley tribute week staged by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon . Hill has a personal connection to the reggae legend and his legacy — her partner is Marley's son Rohan, with whom she has five children. Head below to watch soulful Lauryn do that thing while giving rousing performances of "Chances Are" and "Could You Be Loved." Hill's performances caused Jimmy Fallon's house band leader [...]
Lauryn Hill stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, May 12th. The accomplished hip-hop artist covered two Bob Marley tracks as apart of Fallon's week honoring the fallen legend. Hill took on Marley's
It's quite fitting that Ms. Lauryn Hill made an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon . The 35-year-old songstress has a mean reputation for being tardy, but it's safe to say that her handlers got her to Studio 6B in a timely manner yesterday afternoon. She appeared on the program as a part of Fallon's Bob Marley week (Wednesday marked the 30-year anniversary of Marley's death), and her performances of two Marley classics proved that practice does make one more perfect. Despite drawing early reviews that described a stage show with a [...]

Aaliyah e Bob Marley sono stati omaggiati da due pezzi da novanta come Omarion e Jennifer Hudson . Totally black! Il primo ci ha deliziato con una magnifica rivisitazione di "One In A Million" (il contributo audio dopo il salto) in cui ha riversato tutta la sua musicalità, i bei falsetti ed il calore vocale che caratterizza la sua ugola d'oro. Dall'altra parte Jennifer invece delude con una cover di "No Woman, No Cry" un pò sottotono (ve la presentiamo al top del post): a volte sembra non essere a [...]
On the 30th anniversary of his death, has Bob Marley's activist legacy been overshadowed by a manufactured Legend ? Thirty years after his death, Bob Marley's shadow looms larger than ever. There can be no doubt that he long ago entered the pop legend pantheon next to such names as Lennon, Joplin, Morrison, Strummer, and Cobain. To many, Marley's music is synonymous with reggae itself. Legend, his posthumous "best-of" collection, has to date sold over 25 million copies, making it the best-selling reggae album in history. He's been the subject of close to two...
Last night at karaoke, a guy did his rendition of Bob Marley's "Is This Love." I can't say he was great, but he certainly had charisma. So today's post was inspired by random karaoke guy + some beautiful weather. We'll be together, yeah! - with a roof right over our heads; We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh now! - of my single bed Bob Marley - Is This Love [ YSI ]
It's Bob Marley tribute week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, featuring such a diverse and unexpected roster of guests as Keith Richards, Chris Cornell, Lenny Kravitz, Lauryn Hill, and Jakob Dylan. NYC visitor Jennifer Hudson also got in on the island-flavored fun last night, delivering a heartfelt rendition of the legendary Rastafarian's "No Woman, No Cry." Backed by the Roots, Good Morning America's summertime performer even invoked the spirit of the "I Shot The Sheriff" singer with a slight Jamaican accent [...]

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
