Any reggae lovers amongst the Massive?
Word Magazine blogs (Free subscription) | 10/13/2009
I've always had a soft spot for reggae, but recently I've got more and more into it as I get a bit bored of hearing the same old rock (or rehashes thereof). It's a mid-life thingy. Anyway, a lot of the good stuff gets regularly mentioned in mag articles and lists etc. (see list below*). But my favourite reggae album I've come across (and now one of my fave albums ever) is The Wailing Souls "Classic...

Brass Trax Essentials: Black Uhuru Sinsemilla
JamsBio (Free subscription) | 09/23/2009
Roots reggae ground breakers Black Uhuru existed, in name at least, before Michael Rose joined, but it was Rose’s honeyed voice and lyrical deftness that would come to define the band.

It's A Rough Trade
Surroundings (Free subscription) | 09/05/2009
I watched yesterday evening’s BBC3 programme on the history of Rough Trade , astonished at how many significant bands the label had been behind. I felt exactly the same when I watched a similar programme a week or so ago on Island Records . Rough Trade had The Fall, The Smiths, Violent Femmes, The Strokes, Belle & Sebastian and a host of others. Island had Bob Marley & The Wailers, Black...

The Very Best Of Culture Blogspot
Dave Strickson (Free subscription) | 08/23/2009
Vocal trio Culture helped define the sound and style of Rastafarian roots reggae, thanks largely to charismatic singer, songwriter, and leader Joseph Hill. True to their name, Culture's material was devoted almost exclusively to spiritual, social, and political messages, and Hill delivered them with a fervent intensity that grouped him with Rastafarian militants like Burning Spear and Black Uhuru....

The Dub Factor – Black Uhuru (1983)
Sir Charlie Palmer (Free subscription) | 08/19/2009
http://www.mediafire.com/?ndm2ftnytlm This is no formula dub. Each song is it's own inspired creation from the opening beat to the end. Everyone was at the top of their game when this was created, and it is truly dub to send shivers up and down your spine.

Live: Toots & the Maytals and Black Uhuru at the Hollywood Bowl
L. A. Times Dodgers Blog (Free subscription) | 08/11/2009
'Toots' Hibbert casts a wide net while Michael Rose takes a mellower approach. Reggae is some of the best music ever invented for moving your body, and arguably the worst for fomenting revolutions. After all, it's hard to incite a civic uprising when you're swaying your hips to a languid, offbeat tempo that's designed to sonically complement the sacramental ingesting of large quantities of recreational...

I'm getting confused – and bored – with recent bands having the word black in their name: Black Lips, Black Keys, Black Dice, Black Ghosts, Black Seeds, Black Velvet, Nine Black Alps, Dan Black. Is black the new black once again? White bands seem to pale by comparison: White Denim, White Lies and The White Stripes. (Similar band names definitely seem to come in waves. During Britpop, bands...
