The Women In The Office

broderic on April 30, 2011

I wanted use “girls” in the title of this post, but thought better of it. It’s more mature that way.

There has to be a Pam or Erin in every office. A woman who’s like the office version of the girl next door. Slightly quirky though but every bit as lovable. You know the type because she sits across from you, or she’s your cube mate. Yup. There’s one at every job.

Stop by her desk to chat her up. Have a laugh over at the water cooler. Joust in line for the microwave. It’s all good. It’s all flirting and every guy’s angling to do it. Nothing over the top, but all in good fun. Because she’s like that.

Yup. You know the type. Sometimes she makes you smile. Other times you make her smile. With her at work you could be smiling all the time. Wonderful.

I Feel So Broke Up Today

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!

Link of the Day [4.28.11]

"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

Roots reggae goes beyond Bob Marley. I need to learn who, what, where, and why. The when is now! Damn. This is a clever groove. I am feeling it. Wish it were with the girls of my dreams.

Better Get Ready. Rock Steady!

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!

Posse In Effect

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.
