the 4th of july reggae thread
 

so it'll be the 4th of july tomorrow and it seems that we are up to our ears in shit. so here is a 7/4 thread that's about dreaming of a different better world maybe. or maybe its mostly about just wanting to think about something other than the wreck we live in. or maybe it's just a collection of reggae and dub clips from youtube featuring artists or songs that i like.

mostly that.

as much as i love your threads....they just have too much great stuff in them.....can't ever seem to get thru them...xoxoxoo

yeah i kinda assumed as much...not about you, but in general.
at this point, these threads are basically organized by the way i decide to burrow into youtube. they dont take terribly long to make, but the only logic to them is the sequence of things i find. maybe i should reconsider how these are put together, tighten them up or something. any ideas?

just do 2,3 or 4.....a theme....something to get a handle on...xoxoxoo
