I’m so excited I just can’t hide it.

Jamaica has produced well over 100,000 records over the last 50 years – an extraordinary output for a population of little more than two million. Although a few of these recordings have crossed over to audiences beyond the Jamaican community, it’s hard to think of any genre of popular music – other than the blues – that has had a greater influence in the past few decades. Mainstream rock stars from Clapton to the Stones, the Clash to the Fugees, have covered reggae hits, but more important has been Jamaican music’s effect on the worldwide dance scene. Major features of that island’s music – the megawatt sound systems, the exclusive “one-off” recordings, the foregrounding of drum and bass, and the practice of rapping over rhythm tracks – have been appropriated by rave and dance culture. Other reggae innovations, like the dub remix, have been assimilated into wider popular music.

I have my heart in this and the poetry threads, and hope that anyone who, like me, has had this music as a soundtrack to their lives will contribute to this one, as well as sharongooners two-tone one which is also very cool but has more of a UK 80’s vibe…. youtube is something I have maybe knocked unfairly, but only because there is so much that I have never found there, so please link away in rub-a-dub stylee folks

Tougher Than Tough

I’m wondering if the denizens of the JC zoo will this day be inclined to be uncouthly erotic, or funny imparting sudden luffs, or boring with gunwales awash, or surreptitiously cogitating, or suppressing frank qualms in deference to not **inobvious pertubations.
Some of the hyenas have nothing to say to me nor I to them – “on the whole” – if you will permit a metaphor savouring slightly of the demotic. Other pensive companions will discuss the possibility of rain, or remark upon the interesting fauna. One may impart that yesterday one did purchase two bags of lukewarm peanuts.

You just never know.

(twinkle)

oooooooooooooo get you!!! lol…… an btw who wud purchase lukewarm peanuts fgs .. :roll:

** guess i might if i knew wot erumm inobvious pertubations were… :wink:

I always go from gate to gate,
soaked to the bone and all burned up;
All of a sudden I’ll lay my right ear
in my right hand.
Then my own voice sounds to me
as if I had never known it.

Then I don’t know for sure, who it is that’s screaming,
me or just somebody else.
I’m screaming about next to nothing, really.
Poets scream about more.

Finally, I close my face
with both eyes shut;
which looks as if it’s in my hands
with its whole weight, and resting.
That’s so that they don’t think
I don’t have a proper place,
to lay down my head.
