    1000 albums to hear before you die in The Guardian

    it's definitely not pc to like buju banton is it, lol. i've never liked til shiloh much though, don't like buju's reggae/singing stuff really. am surprised that sizzla makes it in there, i thought the guardian only acknowledged him as a violent homophobe rather than one of the greatest recording...

Live recording and photos are up now on the new Heatwave website: http://www.theheatwave.co.uk/music/item/rikodan2007/...

    How many hours do you sleep a night?

    Drum/rhythm knowledge rolling thread

    fair enough, i haven't heard the out from the chorus (30 sec sample on amazon doesn't get that far) or seen people dancing to it - i must've misread what you said upthread as i thought you were saying that it does a 2/4 bar before the chorus and a 2/4 bar at the end of the chorus, which would be...

    Drum/rhythm knowledge rolling thread

    no, it's not - the words in the chorus that fall on the 1 are down, out, round and whatever comes after that the idea that they'd go into 2/4 at the beginning and end of the chorus for just one bar is so over complicated as well

    Drum/rhythm knowledge rolling thread

    i don't think upside down displays anything particularly interesting or tricksy in terms of timing/phrasing. the 'down' of 'upside down' is the 1 of the bar, the words 'up' and 'side' are simply leading into the beginning of the next bar. it's pretty standard for phrases to begin either before...
