"Di Reggae Yard"


Recommended Posts

 

Be prepared for all sorts of dub madness when Jamaican native Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry plays the Dublin Village in December.

 

72-year-old Perry, also known as "The Upsetter," will be plugging Repentance, his fifty-fourth studio album, which is produced by the mighty Andrew W.K. and features additional input from Moby.

 

'Scratch' will be performing at Dublin Village on December 19.

Perry is a f*cking legend, I'd definitely go see him if i could, especially since I missed him the last time he was playing around my neck of the woods

 

 

 

 

Although i prefer his skinhead reggae period, before he became a complete nutter tounge.gif

Good to see this sh*t back up.

 

I've been on a huge dub kick lately. Been listening to a lot of Augustus Pablo, Scientist, Lee Perry, King Tubby and all that tasty sh*t. I also recently got myself the 'Trojan Dub Boxset', haven't listened to it yet though.

 

Anybody got any recommendations of anything similar?

I've been listening to lots of Reggae and Ska lately. I only know of about three or four artists though, so my palette is very limited. Can anybody suggest some good artists long the lines of Bob Marley, Musical Youth and Desmond Deskker? Those are the three I listen to at the moment.

 

Also, artists that use 'spitting' in their music. I've heard something like it before in a video on YouTube though I could never find out the name of the artist. Does anybody know of any artists like that?

Just thought of this song and found it on youtube And damn does it brings me back! This was like one of the first Trojans i heard but I've kinda forgot about it until now. I remember Mullen PM'd me the funky chicken album an that's how it all started (almost).

 

 

 

Talk about an addictive riddim! tounge.gif

Haha, thats some good funky sh*t right there icon14.gif Trojan is great. I love a bit of Desmond Dekker

Dekker is the sh*t, shame that I've played all his hits to death sad.gif

 

Great performer though, I'd give my lil' toe to see him live in his prime:

 

 

In other news, I'm thinking about kicking off a little personal Ska revival of my own and re-watch Jimmy Cliff's masterpiece "The Harder They Come" again. One of the best Jamaican films ever in my oppinion, not counting Cool Runnings of course tounge.gif

 

It has a cool soundtrack nevertheless though, thought I'd share this masterpiece with y'all:

Anyone know any good free online reggae stations? I haven't had much finding a good one.

Wish i did. I'd love it as well if anyone would suggest some cool radio station.

 

To be honest, any Reggae related suggestions would be welcome, I've kinda overplayed my early ska & 2 tone library. Some 80's stuff perhaps? Anything later than 1972 that isn't bob Marley, ska or two tone would be appreciated smile.gif

Hopefully going to see Max Romeo and Lee 'Scratch' Perry here in Dublin. They are playing 2 seperate sets then joining each other onstage for a jam.

 

This track is sampled by Damian Marley on Jamrock...
