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!

Just A Guy

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.

Pon the Riddim

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.

This flash video player has one of the worst embed HTML I’ve ever seen. Haven’t these vevo dudes taken a look at how YouTube does it? I mean, come on, what year are we in?
