How can the Bob Marley fans forget about Is This Love and Easy Skanking, those are my favourites

But yeah I agree with the point about just having the customary 5-6 tunes and not feeling the need to add more, happens with a lot of those older artists for me

It happens with a lot of older artists? Really?

Hmm not sure about that applying for me (typed in a room with 18 Black Sabbath albums next to me)

To be fair, I have a massive fetish for the Beatles and got nearly all their albums when they got remastered a few years ago; but other than Black Sabbath do you actually have loads of bands' entire discographies though? And also, Black Sabbath might not even be an "old artist" for you, maybe they released stuff when you were into their music?

african herbsman is my absolute favourite, but trenchtown rock has that classic line... "one good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain"

FWIW the approved reggae snob line on Bob Marley is that he was basically amazing but the post-1972 stuff (ie all the Island albums [edit: and, importantly, all the stuff that people who aren't reggae snobs have heard of]) is watered down for rock audiences, and although you kind of respect that stuff for what it is you only really like the early soundsystem era material - particularly the Lee Perry productions.

Also, I'd love to see a survey to find out
i) how many people "love reggae"
ii) how many people can name a reggae artist other than Bob Marley.

anything on island records was specifically produced for rock audiences with pop structures and engineered for car/home radio's that could only handle mid and top frequencies

Its pretty intense, pretty emotional and pretty disturbing. Best of luck.

Max Hardcore... say no more

So i just watched this (found it on another site, remembered the name Max Hardcore being mentioned here, see this is what you posted (i thought you linked actual pornography)) and i'm genuinely disturbed. How can anybody watch porn after seeing this? The people involved are scum who don't deserve the same rights as the rest of us (that's my unpopular opinion for this post).

Honest to god, i'm really upset by this whole film. I've seen quite a few (anti)porn docs but none were as shocking and revealing as this, don't think i'll ever watch porn now, serious. well maybe some tasteful porn-as-art nudes, but that's the limit lol

I'm in 2 minds about that Max Hardcore doc, might end up giving it a go...

aahh that might explain why Is This Love/Easy Skanking has weak/virtually no bass then

Maybe all the post-whatevr dance songs being labeled "trap shit" is revenge for radio rappers turning their singles into bathhouse eurodance

If it takes a carbon tax to reduce consumption & encourage a transition to other energy sources,
then, even tho electricity & fuel prices will rise,
bring it on.

Unfortunately, I can't see a carbon tax being conducive to transitioning to other energy sources.

Thiiiiiis so much.

I played a little reggae set at my local pub, all I got all night was people asking for Bob Marley.

One guy asked for Marley while i was playing Kinky Reggae

electricity and fuel price rises just hit the poorest hard and i don't think they would reduce consumption significantly for anyone else.
