I'm listening to a lovely Gibbs production of 'I want your love'. Things like this are what I live for, basically.

Is that the correct spelling, never seen it that way before. Just yesterday I got his Greensleeves "12" Rulers" comp in the mail. Also awesome, though so far the pick of that litter (I ordered like 6 cds) is Michael Prophet's Gunman album. Don't have the cd in front of me but I'm assuming Scientist mixed it? The bass sound on it (as in bass guitar, not bass as in frequency) is so sick.

my wife asked me what kind of name "lindval" was anyway and I had to admit I had no idea, obviously it must be some colonialized Jamaican name but I don't think I've ever heard of any non-Jamaicans named Lindval. Is it British?

was gonna put this out in the store the other day and made the mistake of playing it. now its going home with me. so good.

lol misspelled artists' names on reggae albums are pretty common. all of those 12" Rulers comps are great. if you don't already have it, the Junjo one has a great extended version of Prophet's "Gunman" on it.
xp haha, see, they spelled it two ways on the same cover!

hahaha wtfbefore i cleaned it up i had like 5 different artist entries in my itunes for cornell campbell (cornell, there's another great jamaican name, also british right?). cornel campbel, cornell campbell, cornell campbel, etc

yabby you! i mean his record label is yabby you too. so that's good enough for me. probably just easier to call him vivian jackson.

damn that's huge sorry...
you know I'm thinking "Ungreatful" is probably inentional. hard to tell with patois sometimes, so much of it is founded on a mix of literalism and a love of puns (downpressor, for example)
― rob, Friday, 3 February 2012 18:39 (twelve years ago) link
<3 Wayne Jarrett! especially his Showcase on Wackies. there's a sax skronk on there that's one of my favorite moments in all music
btw, that's "intentional" not some obscure patois term like i-nentional
― rob, Friday, 3 February 2012 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
spelled Wayne Jarret on my ipod

okay, i can't resist, two tracks that knocked me on my butt this week. so much so that i don't know if i can part with the 12 inches despite the fact that i am supposedly a record dealer. but they are both so epic. guitar at the end of the earl zero track kills me every time.

i like wayne! he's nice. simon r. introduced me to him in seattle at one of the emp conferences. although he and simon were saying mean things about 3rd bass and i almost got into a fist fight with them.
i've had to physically stop myself from playing boneman connection lately. i will check out some of that other stuff.
― scott seward, Thursday, 9 February 2012 17:43 (twelve years ago) link
i'm so stunned by this album. i can't get over how beautiful it is. seriously, one of the greatest albums i've heard in a very long time. of any genre.
