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.

Outrun my gun

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?

Landover ’88, RFK ’89, Miami ’89

I think, but I really can’t remember. It’s a fog, a hazy, smokey, fog.

Ko?

Love this version of the School Rumble 1st season ending because Mamiko Noto sings in it along with her sister in animation, Ami Koshimizu. Mostly for Mamiko Noto and her gentle voice. She’s probably the only anime voice actress that you can tell just by listening. There are a few others I recognize, but none as memorable as Mamiko Noto. You can catch her currently voicing Sawako Kuronoma in Kimi Ni Todoke (KimiTodo), the best shoujo out there.
