Ok not a huge fan of roots reggae, but its lovely in the summer and saw Burning Spear at Montreux.

Queen Tokelove · « **Reply #10 on:** July 23, 2009, 10:32:26 pm »

Hmmm, Skeebo gave me ideas....I have a few reggae songs on my PC but mainly old school stuff. Am thinking about adding some Beenie Man, Lady Saw, Elephant Man, Patra, and some Grace Jones, Pull up to my bumper.....I haven't heard of most of the stuff people listed.

Burning Spear is that real deep roots reggae.... So you must be a fan but didn't know it

. My first wife worked at a Payless shoe store on South Beach. This is back in 1991, and I would go pick her up after work. One night as my wife and I were leaving her job the group (Burning Spear) was walking down Washington ave. A few words were exchanged (pleasantries) and they gave my wife and I some free tickets for the next nights show they were pulling at some old theatre down there called Roxies I think.... Long time ago, but had a great time indeed.

Had my dub and roots period in the 80's but it seemed to peter out, just like my passion for salsa. And for no good reason. Maybe I smoked less dope I dunno.

Andy Velez · « **Reply #13 on:** July 24, 2009, 08:43:19 am »

This past week has included:

Mildred Bailey radio broadcast on CD for first time, (Mildred's DA BEST!)
The Essential Janis Ian
Amos Wilburn r&b,
Mel Torme
Chris Connor
YIDDISH SONGS FOR THE SOUL, a cd of a gym buddy's. Unlike anything else on my shelves. Sort of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF to the max.

To be continued...

Re other lists above, man!, haven't heard The Thompson Twins in a while...

I'd forgotten about Janis Ian, that's a blast from the past.

I just logged on to her website. So much stuff, free downloads, ringtones and other things I could probably do without.

My favourite, is that she will perform in your front room for $9,999. What a trooper.

Andy Velez · « **Reply #17 on:** July 24, 2009, 01:08:07 pm »

Mecch, don't, DON'T give it away! I'm sure you'd be worth it at twice the price + the music.

mecch · « **Reply #22 on:** July 26, 2009, 03:49:13 pm »

Come to think of it, my Bon Iver files went missing..... Kind of down music for summer though. Well maybe outside at night could be magic.

Yeah it's not one for the garden on a sunny day that's for sure! I was so impressed with him live though he plays with three drummers and really beefs up the sound I highly recommend going to see him if you get chance.

From EW:

Gay Fever Dream of the Week: Melinda Doolittle's "It's Your Love" gets remixed for the dance floor three (3!) times.

I like the Rizzo Radio Mix best. It puts her vocals front and center.
