Not much up, just that school starts soon.
Lame.
You know, there's something about later Skatalites recordings (ever since their album "Return of the Big Guns"), there's been something with the way their horns sound...I mean, it sounds REALLY clean, which to me is a kinda weird sound. I can't think of any other band that uses horns that has that particular sound.
I am super excited for that new Pama International album that's coming out...not only will it be released on the legendary Trojan Records (does this mean I'll be able to find it at major retail stores that carry Trojan's stuff?), but it features a slew of famous Jamaican musicians..including the first new Dave and Ansel collobaration since the 1970s!
Speaking of Dave Barker, I need to find a way to import music from Europe, more specifically, Liquidator Music. They have a couple of stuff that I want to get my grubby hands on. Also, I need to find someplace that imports stuff by France's "The Moon Hop." They describe themselves as a "Ska, Rocksteady, Soul and SURF band" and the few stuff I've heard from them have been pretty awesome. Searching for them on Soulseek is a little tough, since Moon Hop usually gives you Derrick Morgan's song and his boxset.

you're right the skatalites now have this unique clean sound. It makes me think to the early hepcat recordings ('out of nowhere'). But this sound quality is also saying that they are always creating new songs, they are not just a 60's band ... and that's a good news !
for europe's stuff, there is mister red head man ... he's cool, prices are corrects but i don't if he does any worlwide delivery. Same thing for their label banana juice .I just bought moon hop's 'welcome back to the moon' and it's a very good surprise (not great the last time i saw them "live").
