It is.

There is a CD collection of all the soundtrack bits from the Lone Wolf and Cub (the original Japanese name of the film/s) series which came out just last year. It's worth picking up.

Dave Kelly I would say that a good majority of the last ten+ years of dancehall is based around the production (actually he may have been called an engineer back then, but whatever) template which Kelly pioneered with the initial Buju Banton singles and then continued with his post-Banton...

I gotta admit that my stomach for this kind of First World intervention on the "problems" of the Third World viewpoints is at an all time low (perhaps this is a peculiarly American exhaustion these days, hmmn.) Look I'm all for engaging on these issues on a personal/community basis, but when...

I think the people behind this are doing something which will makes themselves feel a little better about listening and loving a form of music which quite often espouses ideas which they find emotionally and intellectually difficult to reconcile.

Arguing for reforming the IMF and World Bank and WTO and reassessing the way in which those organizations interact with Third World nations like Jamaica. I think people in Britain and the US would have a little (just a little) more moral high ground on issues like homophobia if ya know our...

Meaning that a good portion of this list seems to me to be about gesture politics.

Minus the humanitarian relief though.

There is going to be a similar San Francisco version too!

Hmmn.

Dead again. Another please?

I can't believe no one has mentioned how great Riko & God's Gift track "Dead That" is! Also the opening Bruza freestyle over what sounds like a 80's John Carpenter theme. Sooooo goood.

Craig REALLY is the nicest guy ever. He sent me a T-shirt and a copy of the Spirit Shots EP and a bunch of little buttons and stickers. The Vulture Culture mix (it was nice to find out that the amazing Essentials track which comes in 40 minutes in is called "Headquarters" yesterday) is...

I believe that Vice Magazine Records is putting it out sometime in March (or so the rumours go.)

I should modify what I was saying. I think Jamaican music does make leaps and I do think there are times when it's been in somewhat of a holding period (my music collection would suggest that post-1994 to 1999 was indeed one of those times--other than the rise of conscious dancehall...

I just want to point out this is VERY VERY OTM and this fact, unlike the problematic lyrics of Buju Banton's now DECADE old hit "Boom Bye Bye", gets virtually NO MEDIA FOCUS outside of extreme anti-corporate, anti-globalism rags. There is a pretty good widely available movie called Life and...

BTW this piece (by Bentley) is excellent and far far more intelligently written than anything else I've read on this subject all year. < /close discussion >

Can we not discusss instead.
