Heavy machinery on our streets lately hangin out, waiting for the big repaving of Griffin Ave. this morning. Down the hill past Deb's Park. Wasn't it already paved fairly well? Can't help love how every machine that showed up was tagged to the gills. And I am sure a couple or more were added over the last week. U-Roy "Heavy Duty" Nosaj Thing "It's Maddness"

Only downfall, other...

‘Play I some music, is this reggae [music]?’ Early Sunday morning, as the curtains closed on the 2009 [Reggae] Sumfest, two main questions tugged at me demanding an answer: Is reggae music dying a slow death, and if so, what is the likely cause? Where can I buy a Red Stripe?…
