EVENTS : Kitano Creation Sound Presents Roots Pon Di Corner @ LP & Harmony Bar!

We went to check our good friends Kitano Creation Sound at their new party -- ROOTS PON THE CORNER -- at LP & HARMONY Bar (a.k.a. the new ART LAND) in East Williamsburg Brooklyn. Their party is on the first and third Wednesday of every month and they often have guest selectors play with them. When we there the three selectors were playing a sweet stew of Rock Steady, Roots and some serious Ska classics. We had a great time listening to the tunes, drinking cold Red Stripes and eating Shrimp Chips! As I had a few tunes in the car, I could not resist dropping a few selections just so I could play with the lovely Urei Rotary Mixer -- Definately something on my agenda to purchase when I am rich and famous! All in all, ROOTS PON THE CORNER is a great party and I urge all the massive to go check it!

Brand New Podcast : Year Of The Gun!







There is no doubt that gun tunes themselves are a deeply controversial aspect of Jamaican music. And I am not here to defend the tunes or the negative aspects of this mix. Music and art about violence have been around since, well, since the beginning of art itself and my podcast page will not solve any debates. What I hoped to show in this mix was the way in which the artists whose songs are included took the theme of violence and elevated it through metaphor, delivery, etc. into something closing in on the sublime; and when all is said and done, taking violence and turning it into art will always be positive.


Track List: Gun man medly (Barrington, Terror, Cobra, Panhead), RIP (cobra), Still (rickey General), Can’t Frighten Me (Red Rose), would a let you go (Jr. Cat), launch an attack(General TK).

Chune In : East Village Radio 11/8/10 w/ Special Guest Bushman!


Seems with each passing week another legendary figure in the field of Jamaican music leaves these earthly chains for the great beyond. Last week we lost Gregory and this week the iconic producer Sonia Pottinger passed. Ms. Pottinger was possibly the first and definately the most succesful female producer in Jamaica. She started in the mid 60s cutting some killer ska sides and later fully embraced the new sounds of Rock Steady with arguably some of the fiinest 7"s of that genre. As early reggae blossomed into rockers, Ms. Pottinger was right in the middle of the fray not only with her own original tunes but her radical reconfigurations of Duke Reid's Catalog (which she had purchased after his passing). We paid full tribute to Ms. Pottinger on our November 8th Radio show with a full hour of her music.

For the second hour the great singer BUSHMAN passed through to play some tunes and talk some history!




And we were lucky to have Bushman perform CALL THE HEARSE for us...check it!
