you never really contemplated a world without Shaka tbh. I mean of course he was human and mortal like the rest of us, but he seemed sci fi in his mystique. RIP legend.

Saw him in January in what I now assume was his last UK gig. Was funny, I thought I'd leave at like 2, being old now, but we stayed 'til 5 just 'cos it was so fucking great.

Remember being in East Village reggae record store Jammyland when they played his "Dub Salute 1" album really loud on their big rig, the drums on the first track "The King and I Dub" felt like I was getting punched in the chest. Bought it on the spot, still love it.

I did go to a few dub nights back in my dubstep days, not sure if jah Shaka was involved, but it's a reminder that I should do that again

This track slaps, no capp..

Hey did you go to Clin's thing last night? There was a really schlubby looking guy in highlighter pink jeans and highlighter yellow shoes. Bit of a beer belly, balding. I assume that was you?

trolling in an rip thread?

He's spoiling for a fight. He's asking you about golf in another thread.

If someone is personal friends with Jah I will recant. Otherwise you can't mourn an abstraction. That's a silly thing tabloid and royal culture sells Brits on

the best disrespecting the dead thing was when craner said bowie was fucking shit on the day he died then droid called craner a dead asteroid orbiting a gyre

 

[luka]

the bowie thread

Ive long suspected it, but it seems that beneath your warped, decrepit, borderline sociopathic exterior, there is... ...nothing. Malign accretions orbiting a void. A gyre of the self.

You sound like a teenage atheist.
