I'm just over here drawing up some Ivy League Spins stickers for all of you lovely people, and thought I would share what I'm listening to. Here's a short playlist of what's blaring through my headphones. Enjoy: Prince Fatty - Bedroom Eyes Dub (ft. Natty) Prince Fatty - Need It (ft. Little Roy) Hugh Roy - Flashing My Whip [...]

Dr Alimantado released a string of gloriously over-the-top singles in Jamaica in the early 70s. As with U-Roy and other early 70s toasters (see ABON 0097 ) his singles nearly always began life as rhythm tracks from earlier songs by other artists. However, by the time the various brilliant studio wizards (such as Lee Perry and King Tubby) that Dr Alimantado worked with had finished with them, these rhythm tracks had miraculously warped into new, fresh-sounding creations that clearly had some of the same DNA as the originals but actually sounded like they had been abducted by aliens at birth and raised [...]
"Like the doctor who was born for a purpose, rudie can´t fail..." Strummer, Jones and Simonon definitely had taste, brew for breakfast notwithstanding. Dr. Alimantado - Born For A Purpose/Reason For Living MP3 The Clash - Rudie Can´t Fail MP3

"My face is so pretty you can´t see a scar, that makes me the king in the ring by far..." Some killer reggae from the days when boxing was still fun and the rivalry between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier held the world spellbound. Big title bouts like the Thrilla in Manilla captured the imagination on the island of Jamaica too apparently, as many a knockout reggae song paid tribute to the legendary heavyweights. Note that toasters Big Youth and Dennis Alcapone both use Burning Spear´s legendary riddim to salute Smokin´ Joe. "With the [...]
Considering the wealth of music that's been made about chickens I'm a little surprised that Bob Dylan hasn't yet devoted a Theme Time Radio Hour to them. I've now emailed XM Radio with my suggested playlist so maybe we'll hear a rockin' rooster show in the next series. All of these songs would be perfect for the programme. MP3: Big Joe Turner - The Chicken and the Hawk Theme Time Radio Hour introduced me to the wonders of Big Joe Turner and [...]

When the enemies of Freedom TM need a little impromptu menace to the genitalia to keep them in line... Duke is there! (Though [...]

Did you ever see a farmer's wife? - Repo Man (1984) Yma Sumac - Chicken Talk (from Mambo! , 1954) - I got into Sumac's blend of Latin and exotica styles after hearing her mentioned as a spiritual precusror to Lene Lovich, and quickly grew to appreciate her unique [...]
