how quaint^ quite like that actually, verse -chorus, middle eight, funky little number,
couldnt really hear what he was singing, but it seemed quite thoughtful when he said something about presidents and their limosines. way more listenable than the shite Lucas plays.

No thanks looks like some hippy shit.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
@BRM you at least are open minded enough to play it, whaddya think?

i got about halfway through.

i swear this room now smells of incense.

hmmmm, yes.
very well known that mantra actually, one or two people chant it generally more in the Asian countries.

whatever get's you through the day, dude.

I'm going to stick to the stoner rock today, if that's cool with you.

i might switch to a bit of filthy stuff in the afternoon, seeing as it's my last day.

I too have never got reggae. I mean it's so fucking dull and samey. kerchink Kerchink kerchink. I can appreciate that Bob Marley sounded fresh to european ears at the time, but it's been years and the entire genre has failed to come up with anything to improve upon Althea & Donna's Uptown Top Ranking. Whatever. Learn some more rhythms.

While we are at it, Dancehall. Sorry but that is a horrible drumbeat and you cannot dance to it.

Or Dizzee Rascal. Not his music. I can take or leave it. Some ain't bad. And I care not a jot about whether he's "street" or a fluffy bunny rabbit. But his fucking accent. He's from fucking BOW. Nobody talks like that in Bow. I bet dear old Mrs Rascal doesn't talk like that. Talk like a fucking cockney you try-hard loon. "Like, by the way is pronounced "Lyke", not "Laaaaahhhhhhrrraghk"

Onions. On and in everything. Onions ruin everything they touch. Especially cheese. And meat pies. If you must put them in your pie the put that fact in big letters on the front so I don't waste my time or money. kthxbye.

Golf. My opinion is slightly coloured by the fact that I am working myself to the bone at the moment trying to make sure that everyone who follows the Open Championship online has the best website I can provide, but It beats me why it's so popular. Or how on earth anyone manages to be good at it. I tried golf once. It seems like if you want a small ball to travel a long way to a very small area, a golf club is a device singularly unsuited to making that happen. I did get a corporate jolly to Wentworth once and it's very pretty but I couldn't help thinking that if they dumped the golf it would make a superb quad bike track.

being good at playing golf is pure Zen!
"kthxbye"-- love this.

What is all the hate for reggae? Roots music should be cherished

It's all about the SONGS. ;)

Hehe, only by some distance the most important ingredient in cooking, onions are. Try shallots instead--a milder and a more rounded flavour. Or just use less onion--reduce the amount found in recipes to suit your taste.

Amongst other more little-known channels, Roots music is about the untold history of the African diaspora. Without it, the Pan-African consciousness, 'Rasta', that might be identified with the civil rights movement in the African American peoples, would not exist or be an extremely rare thing to hear of. This music is about teaching another history, not taught in schools, one that denies the Northern Europeans' enslavement of African people as a legitmate (if now discredited) 'trade', and the misplaced credit that Europeans tend to place on other Europeans having emancipated enslaved people. It wasn't Wilberforce, he was a slaver. Enslavement wasn't banned two hundred years ago, it was pushed under the carpet: British people were still enslaving in Nigeria up to the Firist War. For instance, how many people here know the names of the leaders of African insurgence against enslavment? Their history is not told to us. They are depicted as troublemakers, even now, despite the fact the we have made a play for undoing 'slavery', yet we have done no such thing. When do you ever hear of reparation? Only in Roots music and some conscious soul music, some hip hop.

In Haiti, the French colonials were chucked out, and this was the first free state of formerly enslaved people. Ever since, Haiti has been locked out of the European-American political and economic system, and is one of the poorest countries in the region. They are still being punished for getting up and standing up.

Knowing the history of how my forefathers' and foremothers' country humiliated, murdered, tortured and enslaved African peoples is really important, to me. I value the things that Roots has taught me, because it isn't taught in school, and all the more important to me for that.

Thanks for reading this.

all about the timing on threads with Skully :-)

will watch that film soon.

great post.

Waiting for the voice of reason!

Tynans not online, Oliver is busy punning.

I understand why people don't maybe get the music. But the messages (you must listen to the messages), in this music, is something to behold ... and like Eightball said, cherish.

This is why folk, rasta, soul, old hiphop, punk, those kinds of music are important to me. They are political ... Most kids seem to understand only the struggle for their next pair of sneakers, their next car. These trinkets aren't really valuable, they are a diversion. What I seek is something more cerebral.

I love onions, I'll eat them raw, with cheese pickled any old way.

caramalised red onions with everything. Awesomeness.

I don't get Eastenders though.
I mean, why?

BBC's attempt at being right on always fails.

I mean, where are the hipsters?
