Lee Perry at his Black Ark Studio
Put off by Celine Dion promo CD's, obscure opening hours, and over eager traffic wardens I've neglected my trusty PO Box a little of late. As such a modest pile had built up when I finally illegally parked the Micra and dashed in before the clampers descended. In an age of MP3's and zshare it's a bit of an oddity that people still actually use old fashioned mail, but there's something about a person taking the trouble to lick the stamp, and physically send you a CD that compels you to listen, far more than a copy and [...]

I'm far from an expert on reggae, ska, or dancehall, or any of its related genres, so I can't claim to know that the new album by Grammy winner Lee "Scratch" Perry is a great example of its kind, but I do know that I'm really digging it, and I usually find this kind of music annoying. I'm sure you've all heard of Perry, a.k.a. "The Upsetter." He's been doing dub for close to 40 years, inspiring Bob Marley and having worked with the likes of The Clash and Junior Murvin. This, Perry's 54th(!) album [...]

Pinch of Jamaican Soul: Essentials Mix

I've never done a mix before on this blog, but I know that my attempts at spreading the Jamaican Soul bug have gotten some of you ill by now, and I figure it's time to finally wipe you out with the sickness. Here are 11 tracks that I consider essential, tracks I never get sick of and which epitomize all the things that draw me to this music: deep pockets, majestic singing, rainbow smears of

High Flying Bird "And I know it can never come back," he said, and he went on thinking as he looked at her. "I wonder if you can know what it is to have somebody such a part of your life that you never hear a noble strain of music, never read a noble line of poetry, never catch a high mood from nature, nor from your own best thoughts-that you do not imagine her by your side to share your pleasure in it all; that you make no effort to better yourself or help others; that you do nothing of which she [...]

welcome to the jungle

Nov 28, 2007, 6:35pm acid & bass
Dunno why but I was in the jungle mood today, and you shall reap the benefits. While I'm not usually the biggest fan of artists purposefully misspelling their names, one of the exceptions I make is for early rave/jungle duo Altern8. Starting in '89 and breaking up in '93 these lucky bastards got to see the unfolding of the UK rave scene while putting out a couple of albums with a handful of singles that got some chart attention. Secondly I'll throw in a Prodigy song. I'm sure that [...]

SUNDAY MIX TAPE - NUMBER 94

I feel like such a waste of life. I got absolutely nothing accomplished this weekend. This is like a dead zone or something. Ken and his lady-friend Katie have flown out to LA from Jersey and are here staying with us for about a week, but all we've done is thrown a big party for Nicci's sister, played some music with Ilya, gotten really wasted and sat around giggling or napping. I think I've been caught in one of those phases where all the days run together to form a linear system of increasingly hazy moments. It's kind of fun [...]

Audiversity's weekly column on random music in a predetermined number of words between 1 & 150. This week's randomly generated number: 48. MA: Produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry , "Ashes and Dust" is an eerie remix of Augustus Pablo 's seminal "Vibrate On" from 1977. Perry sounds lost among Pablo's sensuous melodica and the phase-shifting proto-disco riddim. Is he praising Jah or asking for guidance out of his unstable mental state? Simply haunting. [...]

Random Friday Post ~ Scratch and Spliff

Random Friday Post ~ Scratch and Spliff One of my favorite acquisitions of 2006 (not from 2006 though) was the Lee "Scratch" Perry box set called Arkology. Scratch is a living legend. One of the most important Jamaicans to make music (right behind Mr. Marley, who he worked with). You have heard Scratch's work even if you don't think you have heard his work. The man has helped create dub and reggae as we know it. Here are four tracks from the box set that give you a sampler of what the legend sounds like. Dub Revolution (Part One) [...]

Merry Christmas from Coldcut (above) with a little help from George W. 364 days a year this blog is dedicated to music I love, artists that should be heard, and songs to make you sing/dance/cry/make love (delete as the mood fits)... Christmas Day however is a very very special day. Its a day when we listen to music we'd rather die than hear for the other 364 days, but nevertheless I've hunted high and low (ie, blew some dust off the CD rack) to find a few truly great xmas tracks (and some others that at least don't [...]

So what better way to celebrate than with the sound of the islands? Everybody loves reggae right? Like, everybody. I do. I love to throw on a Trojan boxset it [...]

The subset of Reggae I particularly enjoy. [...]
