Prince Buster! Prince Buster y’all. If you ain’t feeling this groove, then I feel sorry for you.
I first heard this tune as a cover on the Trojan Ska box set by the Specials/Beat. That’s a great box set and a great tune if you can purchase, purchase. That is all.
But don’t forget to get up and dance!
"Tetsuo!""KANEDA!"*bong* *bong**BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*So goes my imagination of Akira, Katsuhiro Otomo's sci-fi manga masterpiece, as I read through Jason Thompson's overview of it at ANN. I saw the anime years ago what the U now calls the Cosford Cinema. Big as life on the big screen with all that chaos of Neo-Tokyo, it was an amazing experience and came to epitomizes anime when I was a young buck. But today's link gives you a reading of the manga that didn't make it very much into the anime. So there was more to it? Yeah, I would guess so, because the anime at times is confusing.I do have few issues of the original US run of the "comic." They are pretty cool issues with a very distinct cover design. I should scan a few as the issues signify that this is not a kid's book: this is AWESOME!And still, "Tetsuo!" rings in my ears…http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/house-of-1000-manga/2011-04-28
Tokyo Hunter is my go to guy for those hard to get nendoroids. Need to go get some…
It’s not always dub music here on my blog. You’ll occasionally get some rock steady. Now I can’t tell to much the difference between rock steady and ska. Don’t they sound a like? The riddim? Very, very close. Just trying to understand what the riddims are doing.
If you’re in your cube: Get up! Get up! GET UP! GET UP! You just have to move your body to the rock steady.
F yeah!
If you're not playing, you will be.http://log.maniacalrage.net/post/4934647157/fuck-you-tiny-wings
Looking for some killer dubs. Dancehall classics. Damn, this is one fine beat.
Sometimes I wish I was back in Miami, driving down Ocean Ave, scoping out the honies, put pumping out some serious dubs.
Then other times I wish I was cruising around 695 Baltimore beltway 4:00 AM under some ganja haze pumping out some serious dubs.
Dubs man. I can’t get enough of em.
Before this snippet of dream goes away…
Of course it involves S.
We were running away from some kind of war. I believe we were in COD4. I had the gun. She was following me. I’ll be your protection.
We’re separated.
Later, I ask some guy in another squad if he had seen S.C. He comes back. She’s alright. She’s got a message for me: “Kiss me the next time you see me. You know you want to.”
… I liked the last line.
A genre of YouTube videos that have become a favorite of mine, besides the covers, are the spinning record video. Put some vinyl on the turntable, point your video camera at it, start her spinning, listen to the music, and jam with the grooves. I am particularly fond of the Jamaican grooves you can find. I wish we can get these as MP3z.
Chasing tunes on YouTube and I always look for covers of songs. I like covers. There’s just something fun about them. How the artist covering the song changes it around or how they don’t, it’s great to listen to a familiar song done in a less then familiar way.
Go check out this site that categorizes and compiles covers of songs. I’ve barely scratched the surface there, but it’ll lead you to some nice covers.
