Reggae, rocksteady, and ska fans?

[SmokeyMcBong]

I can see some country influence, but that's definitely not country. Hah. Got kind of a Lovers Rock vibe to it. A little too new school for my taste, but definitely prefer it to dancehall

yeah, kinda lovers rock but they are all very classic country songs. dancehall just sounds nice pounding outta the back of my SUV lol. heavy bass and dual 12inch subs work really nicely together lol.

I've actually been listening to a little bit of "chutney" lately. If you've never heard of it, its from Trinidad and is mainly made by the "coolies" (indians). also has a very nice sound in my ear.

Nice, Black Uhuru! The first time I heard this song, followed by Max Romeo's 'Melt Away', was the first time I realized that reggae was for reals:

I'm not a big #rd Wave fan, but there are jewels in the rough!:rockin:

The 3rd wave stuff that I like tends to have more of a 2 Tone sound than a ska-punk sound. This falls in that category to me.

 

[ICWiener]

I guess most people equate 3rd wave with a sound rather than a period of time. There's still good stuff coming out today, but like billy-klubb said, you gotta search for them.

I like this one:

I also like the response, from Hepcat:

same as any other genre of music. metal today is different than metal 20 years ago. but it's still metal.

True. Unless we're talking about Uncle Acid. Then it still sounds like metal from 30 years ago.

Any hockey fans here?

I think I'll just leave these both here:

that's just floccin' awesome. makes me kinda wish there were some good ol' hooligans in my town, but I'm kinda glad there ain't. I'd just end up arrested. hahahaha!!

Speaking of which, gotta wonder how much the latter crew smashed up the town last night after that Habs/Rangers game, given the reaction of some Montreal friends after the Habs closed out the Bruins simply stated "See you in the streets". And given that the Prowlers have a whole song dedicated to em. "Our religion is the Montreal Canadiens" and so forth.

As for me, it boils down to "If you support Arsenal, you're not my friend any more", but it's not like there's a roaming Tottenham Hotspur supporters club in DC (although there's some other supporters for sure). But yeah. Other than that, my days of fighting in the streets are pretty much over (and that was never sports related anyway). Although I've got my share of battle scars (as I know you do too) showing I ain't got s*** to prove to anyone.

that sums it up quite nicely! I've never been into the sports, so I really don't get the brawling over teams thing. but they've always been fun to drink with.

Huge first wave ska fan... But for a modern take... The Slackers / Hepcat / The Aggrolites

I dig all three. Never got huge into the Slackers or Aggrolites but I've heard my share and have some of each. But absolutely love Hepcat.

 

[Qhrumphf]

And my wife just put "Pressure Drop" on in the kitchen. I have the best wife.

 

[Chefflahertycec]

you should seek yourself a Slackers show my friend... I wish I saw Hepcat..... Huge fan...

I saw The Slackers in Vegas at The Sanctuary. huge brawl erupted over some drama between a bunch of skins when they were coming back on for an encore. we didn't get an encore.

Haha...that's surprising.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Scored me a couple new ones on vinyl today. "The Best of Jackie Opel" (not wild about his slower crooner stuff, but the ska is fantastic), Jackie Mittoo's "Evening Time", and The Special AKA's "Free Nelson Mandela". Gone through the first already, haven't gotten through the other two yet.

If anyone is in the New England area, keep an eye out for the Copacetics. Good first and second wave sound, a real tight band from RI.

Here's a nice set from DJ Vadim I thought I would share as well. Some nice dub and reggae mixed with some downtempo.
