Nice link Mockney, I'm Free, written by Mick n' Keef of course.

[mockney piers]

Indeed, in a back to front world many moons ago, finding that out made me investigate the Stones more thoroughly than watching the painted black intro to 'Tour of Duty'.

Hints of Sam Prekop

[mockney piers]

I'm obviously in a weird mood today. Better than my usual manic monday as AD puts it though.

Aaaanyhooo, the result was a strange urge to listen to David Essex - Rock On

[Rolo Tomasi]

Your not the only one in a weird mood MP.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Dear Mockney

That's not weird, that's essential listening at least once a month.

[mockney piers]

My god, everyone's losing the plot around here (apart from lostThePlot, for obvious reasons).

That was fantastic android!

[Jah Lush]

Curry and Rice Girl, that's brilliant!

Here's some early M.I.A from 2006. Still sounds great to me.

Bucky Done Gun

"Refugee education number TWOOOO!""

Jah - top shout with the MIA track. Haven't bought the second album yet but you've just reminded me.

As for novelty songs, how about a bit of girl/jelly action (or not)

She Don't Use Jelly

[Jah Lush]

Yeah, Sean I've not got the new one yet either.

Love that song, She Don't Use Jelly, I like the Drugstore version better though strangely enough.

Here's an oldie from the man who put the soul into the Melodica.

Augustus Pablo

[barrymarshall]

nice one Jah Lush - I was listening to some Augustus Pablo this mornign before I went to work. I was really luck as i once found a copy of teh original vinyl "East of teh River Nile" ... sublime

[mockney piers]

It's a bit of an epic as music videos, especially as it's 10 minutes for a 3 minute song.

But hell, it's worth it.

The Decemberists - O Valencia

[Jah Lush]

That's a pleasure barrymarshall. I've still got quite a bit of Augustus Pablo on vinyl including East Of The River Nile on his Original Rockers album. Top stuff.

[barrymarshall]

Jah -

there's a great compilation out there called In Fine Style, which collects a load of the Original Rockers 12" stuff from the seventies. It's out on the Pressure Sounds label. You might already have some of these tracks already, but there is some of the greatest dub I've ever heard on this album (apart from the King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown LP, of course!).

By the way, did you hear that the Manchester-based Blood and Fire dub and roots re-issue label has closed down?

[Jah Lush]

King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown is indeed one of the best dub albums ever.

I have God knows how many dub/reggae records but I hadn't heard that Blood & Fire had closed down which is a terrible shame as they have been re-releasing a lot of the great classic albums and reggae compilations since their inception. By the way wasn't Mick Hucknall of Simply Red (urg!) a major shareholder/owner of the company? Hopefully Trojan or Pressure Sounds can step in there with the re-release of some of those great back catalogues.

[barrymarshall]

Yup - Blood and Fire were indeed backed by Mick Hucknall. It's weird, Mr Simply Red has great taste in music, which only makes it all the more weird why his own stuff was so ... pants.

Thanks for the link to the article Barry. I seem to have most of the stuff he mentions on there too.
