roachboy · 07-03-2007, 08:02 AM

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.

historique:
reggae soundsystem footage (uk, late 1970s)

a supertreat
michael smith: give me likkle dub music (excerpt)

the lee perry block:

lee scratch perry: jungle safari (live)

lee perry & the soulettes: chiken scratch (ska)

lee perry horace andy gregory issacs luciano etc: fisherman megamix
(version of the congos "roll fisherman roll" rhythm)

lee perry mad professor and robotiks band: roast fish and cornbread

sister carol: dread natty congo

u roy: studio session, late 1970s

i roy: blackman time (live 1995)

i roy: waiting in vain

linton kwesi johnson: da great insurrekshun

every rebel just a rebel in a story....

gregory isaacs: night nurse (a classic)

black uhuru: general penitentary/guess who's coming to dinner

black uhuru: youth of egglington

black uhuru: solidarity

semi-nonsequitor ending.

rockers hi fi:

transmission central

push push

a cheesy fan video for going under

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?
