Who up listening to Tne Best of Roland Burrell? Getting into Jamaican music means being years deep and still always coming across amazing shit you've never heard of. I love that about this music.
"If there's one thing I can't stand, it's up" is an underappreciated 90's rock lyric. Might actually be the best 90's rock lyric.

Busted. Wanted to call it Bronx Cheer but some wankers already had it, so I just added the "leader"
Always loved how this band got a major label deal and just said fuck you, track 1 is gonna be a 10-minute opus of insanity, shifting genres at the drop of a hat the whole time. There is magic here.

Also an underrated album cover.
It's Friday night, you're feeling irie, and you have the house to yourself. You can play whatever you want annoyingly loud. What are you putting on?
I've only two country records so I don't have a "country section". I love these, but don't really need any more. I'm good. These two are all i'll ever need. Willie is filed between My Bloody Valentine and Neu. Johnny Cash fits in between Caribou and Cavern of Anti-Matter.
Ras Michael & the Sons of Negus - Rastafari (1975)
I saw @starmansuperpants.bsky.social posting about this record a couple weeks ago and needed to finally get it off my wantlist and into my grubby mitts and onto my turntable. Great LP. Buy on sight. Need the dub version of this album now. See, that's how they get ya.

If I may digress, "three cans"?. The Hip had an inescapable tune called "Three Pistols" a couple years before. Currently doing some math on that.
Looking up the lyrics to Coax Me and thinking this is one of the best verses in Canrock history if you consider that OJ was big in the news for the next 3 years right after it came out and Consolidated was an industrial band some kids were really into at the time. Pretty hilarious.
Did we ever get to the bottom of who the "it's not the band I hate, it's their fans" line was about?
It's #BandcampFriday today so just a reminder that you can buy the entire Phonautograph discography, that's 52 releases for about $30.

Putting in one vote each for Moondog, Jandek and Hermeto Pascoal.
People generally attribute "skit songs" to hip hop, but they did that shit back in the rock steady days. Prince Buster invented it.

I think the Dr is the weirdest of this group of 4 by far.
Dr John - In The Right Place (1973)
Scored this at a record show last weekend. Dr John backed by The Meters and Allan Toussaint. Pure cajun fire.
Biden gets a bad rap. I miss when you could not pay any attention to the president for weeks at a time.
I just recently learned that he wrote this one for Prince Buster.

I imagine the ultimate completist cassette remains this Ukrainian bootleg of Radiohead's OK Computer.
You can tell the graphic designer was intimately familiar with the music.
7" of Tommy McCook - Nehru on Duke Reid label. Released in 1970. Produced by Duke Reid.
7" of Soul Vendors - Drum Song on Coxsone Records label. Released in 1967. Produced by Coxsone Dodd.
Remembering legends Tommy McCook and Jackie Mittoo who were both born on 3rd March.
From Skatalites bandmates to studio rivals, they created some of the greatest Jamaican music...

velvet underground researchers have apparently confirmed that this audio from a random youtube user is genuinely the long-lost july '67 performance from upbeat, a cleveland teen tv show, doing the unreleased "guess i'm falling in love" complete with screaming girls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU2U...
Fun day with @bronxcheerleader.bsky.social checking out the St Catharines Record Show today. Spent every penny I had. This is a killer record🔥🇯🇲 #dub
A couple of killer slabs gifted to me today by @vinylvinylvinyl.bsky.social. Much appreciated! Can't wait to spin these.
The 1976 album Super Ape by Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s group The Upsetters.
Sunday morning with Scratch
Yes, and Toots.
Another art we lost
Watch this if you haven't yet. Some of the funniest shit I've ever heard or seen. Delivered with the pitch-perfect amount of spite.

Well shit, now i wanna hear a version of it with Marley samples instead. Might require another data center.
