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.

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

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.

you're a very lucky man to get to immerse yourself in so much reggae with the original records.
you should blast it at Sound System levels and make it the unoffical sdtrk to Main St thie summer.

i find it to be a humbling experience. i learn something new every day. and i'm kinda old. so its nice to know that i still have a love of learning. and a love for good music. its just so endless. wish i had 3 or 4 lifetimes. its weird that my love for what people create is boundless. and yet my feelings for humanity itself...well, i have my good days and my bad days. on my bad days, i pray for a cylon attack. on my good days i just KNOW that the average person has the strength and fortitude of kara thrace inside of them somewhere...

taped on a TDK SA90 High Bias IECII/Type II cassette. sounds good. no noise reduction. i can live with VG quality pressings if the drums and bass are loud enough. and for the most part, by oh boy are they. people who don't listen to 45s have no idea...
― scott seward, Monday, 7 May 2012 15:57 (eleven years ago) link
for that matter people who don't listen to 12 inches have no idea...
― scott seward, Monday, 7 May 2012 15:58 (eleven years ago) link
listening to some british heptones studio one comp on vinyl a while back and man the difference between that comp - and i imagine the cd version of it - and the 12 inch pressings of some of that stuff...so vast. some enterprising member of Blur should really make 45 rpm heavy vinyl reissues of old reggae stuff. (the more recent the comps the worse they sound. 70's trojan comps and greensleeves comps usually sound really nice. closer to the source i suppose. 70's trojan and greensleeves vinyl in general really nice.)

heptones - revolution
that is a damn good song. I am completely swayed by your pro-vinyl stance scott, but I've always worried that getting into collecting reggae vinyl, especially 7"s and 12"s, would be a bit like "getting into" heroin. I'd probably sell my grandmother's television for that Glen Brown 12"
