Obviously- without a shadow of a doubt in my mind- this is the greatest music ever produced and from henceforth this will be the only music I will ever listen to ever again.
What’s so great about it is that it’s Barty in his purest form. It’s Barty if he lived outside the M25, with no mates to show him proper dancehall or anything. Barty with this vague promise of Jamaica being salvation but no real understanding of it or inroads into it; just a rag tag handful of dated and laughable signifiers. It’s a suburban dream of escaping to a big city, away from the trappings of humdrum unremarkable lower middle class life.
As music repeatedly proves, misrecognition is often capable of capturing something so pure- and often absent from its source material- in a way that the original can’t. This music has nothing whatsoever to do with Jamaica, so what it becomes instead of a meditation on Jamaica itself, is just a pure unadulterated expression of trying to inject the remarkable into the mundane.
Ganja Dub
This is the absolute pinnacle of the aesthetic. It’s the most gleefully, idiotically joyous expression of it. Its unashamed. The Judeo-Christian tradition points to the attainment of knowledge as the original sin for which we were cast out of paradise. This is a music without knowledge. A return to paradise, not only in a theological sense, but in our own paradises before we had knowledge; our childhoods. This is the music of a child smearing paint all over itself. Of a child barking at pigeons. It’s so fucking stupid.
Tons of brilliant not-at-all-with-it approximations of black culture as well. Suge Knight hadn’t been famous for about 20 years before this song came out. Roddigan of course. Fantastic.
Spliff Dub
The jokes far more on this track than the previous one. The previous one is what it is with no pretence and it’s all the more amazing for it. This one’s so po-faced and it believes itself to be so learned (Billy Boyo, the bass timbre’s nod to Sleng Teng) when in fact its just as dumb as the other one; its almost got the exact same title for fuck’s sake. The spooky flute a misguided attempt at maturity.
Bob’s Pillow
In the 90’s I’m sure there was lots of this electronic dub (made by blokes in Bristol I’m sure) that was just completely tacky and rubbish. It sounded like a a reggae pre-set on Fisher Price toy. This has got the same quality as that.

This is incredible! 2 million views!
Its so badly produced. Properly sounds like something you’d knock up in a music lesson in about 20 minutes. But what’s great is it really distills that innocence I was talking about with the first one. It sounds like chubby, rosy toddler cheeks. Round blue baby eyes looking up at you without a single thought behind them. It sounds like when you see year 7’s with there oversized school uniforms on and they look way too childish and way too cute to already be in secondary school.
A beautiful distillation of naivety this is. Amazing. It sounds like the baby Christ.

Chainsaw Calligraphy
This thread is in large part an analysis of white psychology. The Jamaican tinged ones pointed to a different aspect of it than this.
This is a far grosser whiteness. This is some boy sitting in his wank pit who's obsessed with vomit (the youtube art) and gaping assholes and googling images of bodies with all their innards coming out. Its a boy who posts Heath Ledger joker quotes on his social media. It's that Jackass mentality of white boys stapling each other's bum holes and all that. Nerdy boys sitting around playing soggy biscuit with each other. The title "Chainsaw" fits in with that all; some boy who loves slasher films.
The screeching bass is a surrogate for rock distortion and screaming Slipknot vocals. Its surrogate death metal.

Coki- Goblin
That's a great flatulent one. Proper flapping sphincter as diarrhea just spills out without any stop. You can hear it splashing against the porcelain bowl. Diarrhea where you're doing these proper wet farts as its coming out. Shitting so much you feel that you have no more to give.
This music sounds how I feel whenever I read one of Tea's dinner of the day entries.
