Also would like to extend my condolences and respect to the families and friends
of Arianna 'Ari Up' of The Slits and New Age Steppers, and the sweetest voice to grace a record, Mr Gregory Isaacs. RIP.
Here's my contribution to the rememberings. I'll be playing four Gregory Issacs tunes at Bright Times Returns this week (as I was unable to play last week).
Woah so much things to say.

May not be to everyone's taste, but I love this random amazingness:
YouTube - The Slits - In the beginning there was rhythm
And along with 'The Border' posted already, I always really loved these by Gregory (check the video to Tune In too, wonderful footage)
Heaviest bassline I know, play it loud, and such sharp snappy snare syncopation ... utterly dreamy cut:
YouTube - 21. Gregory Isaacs R.I.P. - Rock On - Reggae Revival - Mikie Dread Tv - revival
And this piece of loved up sweetness
