EDIT: nvm, iam starting these blurbs some other time, iam way too lazy at the moment

I've been listening to Big Youth, Prince Jazzbo, and Dennis Alcapone all day.

I got bored and typed up a blurb about U-Roy, even though I've only heard 1 song by him.

[B]U-Roy[/B]
Although not the first DJ, or even the first to make a record, U-Roy is commonly know as the Originator. His music was immensely popular, and forever changed Jamaica’s music scene. U-Roy was DJing for King Tubby’s Hi-Fi sound system when he cut his first song with Keith Hudson in 1969. Although his first song, and the few that followed, were not successful, he soon started topping the charts with his collaborations with John Holt. He has since gone down in history as the one of the innovators of the DJ and toaster style.

I've recently heard a lot about Mad Professer, but haven't heard much. I also learned that he remixed a Massive Attack album, which makes him instantly cool.

I don't know about any mp3's, but I was reading about Massive Attack and Mad Proffeser has remixed one of their albums and Horace Andy has done vocals on a few of their tracks.

[B]Reggae Mailing List #1[/B]
Band: The Meditations
Album: Guidance
...tell me what you think

Hmm..... Reggae bands I like.... pretty much just Bob Marley and The Aggrolites. Anyone care to suggest me some good reggae bands?

Uh huh.

Burning Spear
The Congos
The Abyssinians
Bunny Wailer
Peter Tosh (you may know the above two as The Wailers)
Jimmy Cliff
Toots & The Maytals
Try listening to some of Bob Marley's children (I recommend Ziggy and Damian)

And lots of other things.

Very cool, I'm diggin it. Jah Bless this thread!

The Meditations album is okay. Not the best, but not terrible either. I'm going on vacation for a week so I won't be posting. Have fun without me.

I bought the new Matisyahu cd today and its pretty damn good for an amish dude singing it, what are your alls thoughts on this band?

[QUOTE=PunkyRastaMon420]I bought the new Matisyahu cd today and its pretty damn good for an amish dude singing it, what are your alls thoughts on this band?[/QUOTE]

I think Matisyahus great honestly. But im pretty sure hes not amish. Judaism is different.

uhm i guess you didnt read what i typed... i said i just heard them and bought the cd today. give me a fukking break

[QUOTE=JonM]Wow. Uh, yeah, that's right. Wow.[/QUOTE]

Pardon me but are these "wow"s at my expense? Because I certainly wasnt questioning Matisyahus religious convictions, but rather politely offering some clarification.

Not really, more at the assertion that Matisyahu was Amish.

[QUOTE=JonM]Not really, more at the assertion that Matisyahu was Amish.[/QUOTE]

Gotcha, I just wasnt sure :thumb:

[email]Ummagumma1969@hotmail.com[/email]

Wohoo! The mailing list is bringing this thread lots of new people. I'm looking foward to the Big Youth album.

This weekend I went to a record store downtown that I don't normally go to, and discovered their reggae section is about 10 times the size of my local store's reggae section. I didn't buy any reggae cd's, but I bought some records, including Bad Brain's self-titled. I Luv I Jah sounds tons better on vinyl, espicially played loudly.

Could I get in on this mailing list? Reggae ignorant person here.
