Completely Random Thoughts: Vintage Sizzla??

Okay so, I had tons & tons of fun putting together the Sizzla 50, a list of fifty random songs in celebration of Kalonji completing his fiftieth year on the planet. Putting that together fairly quickly (I don’t know if it took more than two or three hours) was a BEAUTIFUL dosage of nostalgia and, despite the fact that I had so much room to work with, I still left out quite a few tunes ...

The Open Heart Project by Jah9

"The Open Heart Project" by Jah9 [VP Records] So Jah9 has a new piece of work. It’s an EP and I gave it an initial spinthrough and my original idea was to add it to the next edition of What I’m Listening To but then I came back and had another listen; and what little common sense I do have kicked in. It was better than I was thinking. UNSURPRISINGLY, Jah9’s latest set, "T...

Signatures Vol. XIV: Bushman

Today I want to take a look at another person who, like a few of the names we’ve covered thus far, has very much gone through his career with the tags of being underrated and underappreciated; but I’m not entirely sure that it’s the case. Of course, you could say that others (like similarly vibed Luciano, in particular) have gone onto enjoy a level of success that he has not and will not b...

Signatures Vol. XIII: Vybz Kartel

  I think I have a unique perspective on this one. Considering the fact that I, effectively, ceased being a fan of Vybz Kartel... maybe some FIFTEEN YEARS ago, the idea of doing a Signatures feature on him represents a classic run and, I’m predicting, A LOT of fun. When Kartel rose to prominence surely no one could have predicted either of the two main things that would follow him: The ...

Okay so, I was working on a few ideas for what would be next on the Signature series (it is EASILY one of the most enjoyable things that I write as it, primarily, involves me going through a lot of old music that I really, REALLY love) and I had some good ones. While I’ll tell you about a couple of the others in the notes for this (right down there ↓ in small print) the one I’m going on to...

T enet. If you really think about it, there is a very finite number of things that capture our attention as human beings. As diverse as we most certainly are... our selection of entertainment, en masse, isn’t quite as varied as one might think. Sure, you’ll have your moments where you can find a supreme level of joy in something as simple as watching an ant go about his business, when it ...

R olling. If you’re at all like me, you probably have a core group of favourite artists who rarely ever change. These’re, for whatever reason, your ’go-tos’. They serve a very important purpose and occupy a special place in your listening habits; and probably even your entire life. Because of the work they’ve done in the past, you probably never actually remove  them from that lo...

D avid. In sports, the term "upset" is used in reference to when some team or someone unexpectedly does much better than expected and, most often, beats a favourite of some type. They can range from some extremely random regular season game to Mike Tyson getting starched by Buster Douglas in Tokyo, a hundred years ago. For a neutral and a bettor, they can be amongst the most interestin...
