Fitz & The Tantrums at Bumbershoot Music Lounge photo by Dave Lichterman We finally got snow in Seattle! For those brave enough to venture out in the wintery elements, this week has a few notable options. On Wednesday The Wailers bring their legendary Reggae act to Neumo's - this is a chance to get up close to some true living legends. Thursday has another great show at Neumo's with Youth Lagoon coming out of hibernation, Shaprece and Reva DeVito bring their unique Northwest flair to the Crocodile, while Gabriel Teodros [...]
The Wailers: Tall Cool One [ purchase ] The Wailers: I Want To Walk With You [ purchase ] The Fabulous Wailers were the Zeligs of the Northwest Rock 'n' Roll scene. They were still Tacoma high school kids when they formed in 1959, the same year as another Tacoma band, The Ventures. The Wailers hit it big first, playing their top 40 instrumental "Tall [...]
My parents brought back a few CD's from their trip to Jamaica, and the one that I liked the most was the one with "Golden Hits" scribbled on it's face. Only one problem: no track names. I know a few of the songs, but lets make it a little fun. See if you can figure out the song titles and artist, mostly just by your own knowledge and ear for good music. Try not to cheat!! Who knows, maybe we'll even send you some iLS stickers.... Enjoy: Track 01 [...]
Live music picks for TUESDAY NOVEMBER 15 through SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2011. TUESDAY NOVEMBER 15 / THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT / THE PHOENIX / 410 SHERBOURNE / $24.50 / 19+ The band that took its name from the Dom DeLillo classic White Noise already rocked Toronto earlier this year, and now they're back, still in support of their album All At Once . Admittedly, I felt these guys would be a one-hit wonder after their single Sometime Around Midnight was huge in 2008, but they've [...]
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 [...]
Junior Marvin is guru-like. He read auras like the Sunday paper, but he has an aura himself that draws appeal. And he's got talent, to boot. In between rehearsals, the legendary guitarist talked to me about his early days with British soul artist Steve Winwood. Marvin also talked about the time he had to make the pressured decision to choose between Bob Marley and Stevie Wonder. That's rough! Tonight, Junior Marvin will perform at IOTA Club and Cafe in Arlington, VA. He'll be joined by special guests Trevor Young [...]
Filed under: News GAB Archive, Redferns Peter Tosh , an original member of the Wailers and_thumbnail.gifted solo artist, left behind a legacy of political consciousness after his 1987 murder. The estate of the groundbreaking reggae artist announced on Tuesday, Aug. 9, that it will be launching a series of partnerships with Amnesty International and Greenpeace. A campaign is already underway with Amnesty International, which will give away his solo version 'Get Up Stand Up' (which [...]
They promised us a view. Specifically, the Dave Matthews Band Caravan 's own website promised us that from Lakeside, "the panoramic vista of downtown Chicago across the water will provide a stunning backdrop for the festivities." Instead, we got a panoramic view of security fencing and a grubby, toe-stubbing festival ground littered with broken bricks, shards of metal and glass, and a covering of wood chips that were apparently meant to improve conditions but instead lent the entire place a hamster-cage like feeling. It seems that this site of a former steel plant needs some further TLC before it [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , Spinner Interview , New Music , New Releases Courtesy of Ziggy Marley Ziggy Marley 's fourth solo album, 'Wild and Free,' is somewhat of an homage to the Wailer 's 'Catch a Fire,' which was famously packaged as a Zippo lighter. 'Wild and Free' looks and opens like a matchbook, but the real fire is within. Joined by everyone's favourite Hollywood pot activist Woody Harrelson , [...]
Summerfest considers itself the world's largest music festival - they even had Guinness certify that fact for them back in '99. Spanning 11 days, the Milwaukee, WI-based shindig features over 700 acts playing across 11 stages. And when it comes to revealing the lineup for this massive beast, it proves a multi-month process that began last winter and ended today with the announcement for the festival's final headliner - that honor goes to Jason Mraz. As for the other world-famous acts set to play in 2011? Kanye West (w/ Kid Cudi), Peter Gabriel and the New Blood Orchestrea, Kid [...]
Good morning everyone and welcome to another edition of Lazy Sundays. The artist of choice for this week is Toots and the Maytals , a Jamaican musical group well known for their ska and reggae musical styles. Lead by Fred "Toots" Hibbert, The Maytals became one of the most popular vocal groups in Jamaica during the 19602s alongside other such successful music groups of the time, The Wailers . This song, 54-46 That's My Number was a breakthrough for the group and describes Toots' time in prison for an arrest for [...]

By 1972 The Wailers had been releasing singles in Jamaica for almost ten years (see ABON 0043 ). Some of these singles had been licensed by Chris Blackwell's Island record label for release in the UK. But throughout that time, Blackwell had never met Bob Marley or the other Wailers face to face. Blackwell was white of Jamaican origin and moved and operated seamlessly between Jamaica and London. His mission in life was to take the music he knew so well from his Jamaican upbringing and bring it to an international audience. He'd spent the previous few years [...]

Remember that CD of Bob Marley's Legend you bought back in college to convince potential sex partners that you were worldly? Seriously, when was the last time you listened to it? That's sad. Too many folks have a "Bob Marley phase" then move on to unspeakable music once their socioeconomic status improves. Bob Marley is one of those artists people tend to undervalue as a result of 1) over anthologization, and 2) widespread familiarity with a handful of his most popular songs. But listened to in their entirety, [...]

'Bob Marley and the Golden Age of Reggae' [...]
