We're on first, around 4pm if all goes to plan

Shucks, probably won't make it then. Only finish training in Blackburn at 4.

Ah rubbish. Maybe next time!

Get up this morning, turn the radio on.

Toots and the Maytals; "54, 45, That's My Number". The world seemed a better place.

Going to be brave and say I think they were the best band of the 90s.

You up there.....You have taste and sense. I like you.

There are 2 records that I cannot stop listening to at the minute:

Tubelord - Our First American Friends
Shapes - Monotony Chic

That new Kasabian tune is big!

Velocraptor! ?

You should listen to 'Clubfoot By Kasabian' by Blacklisters. Much better.

Ironically, I've just rediscovered the "Stompin' At The Klubfoot" albums from the mid 80s. Classic psychobilly material!

I'd forgotten half the bands on them. Going to be the "Blood On The Cats" series next I think

Good call.

If that's up your street, pick up the new New Town Kings release 'M.O.J.O. - Music of Jamaican Origin' when it's out on the 18th. I've a pre of it on at the moment, very authentic.

Thanks for the tip, I'll certainly give it a go.

I know very little about this sort of thing but with recommendations and a Napster account it's great to explore.

I quite like King Tubby, who i stumbled across, but I suspect that it's not very authentic/"good".

Weezer last night were just amazing.

Got Blue in full (except for Surf Wax America) and most of Pinkerton





Best gig I've been to for a while

King Tut's tonight for Big Country, should be a good night.

King Tubby is very authentic and good in a dub way, he being one of the pioneers of the genre. Not quite the same as ska and rocksteady, but more of an evolution of that sound.

Give it a go.


Now got the forthcoming Sonic Boom Six EP to go and listen to, I'm having another good week!


Only downside is that Mrs ScooterNik is getting to see SB6 at Sonisphere and I'm not

There has never been a record made with more funk than Betty Wright "All Your Kisses Sho Don't Make Good Lovin'".

Edit: It's got so much funk, the funk overload caused me to get the title wrong. It's "Kissin'", not "Kisses".

This week I purchased 3 records by Shield Your Eyes for £4. Potentially the best £4 I've ever spent.

Really enjoying the new wave of decnt music that's in the main stream at the moment.
Example and DJ Fresh to name two.

Rave On Buddy Holly

A beltin' album with such luminaries as Lou Reed, Patti Smith & Paul McCartney interpreting Buddy Holly classics, the Lou Reed track being a particular favourite of mine.

any Twilight Singers fans on here? (Greg Dulli, Afghan Whigs), enjoyed their latest album.
