Clinton Fearon keeps releasing quality roots reggae. A great album last year. Three singles so far this year. The latest.

Exploring global pop usually gets interesting in some way or other.
Have some Sri Lankan #EDM or more specifically "folk trance". This is something really different from my usual, but it's got elements I quite like.

And as a bonus, have a live Sinhala #reggae medley by the band News:

Fuecu ne lu Salentu questo fine settimana

Aho, ma quanto fa anni '90 il reggae nel Salento?!

'Na cifra. Pure troppo. Tacci sua quanto semo invecchiati. Meno male che nella foto non si vede perché l'hanno ritoccata co' l'AI, paro Gesù Cristo

I'm playing records on the internet again.

Wish I'd captured video or at least pics of these unboxings, but nevertheless I offer this as a #PSA:

A Tale of Two LPs, in my continuing effort to find alternatives to #Amazon and #Target for my non-obscure online record purchases. (Loved them because you can't beat their ease of returns and Lordy, the lack of QC of new #vinyl these days...)

1. #BarnesAndNobel:

Shipped in a soft manila envelope, #LP held onto LP-sized corrugated cardboard square with an elastic band, one digipak #CD secured to it a little aggressively in one layer of plastic wrap.

LP arrives with jacket corners bent (but plays flawlessly, so ok, just sayin).

2. https://www.MillionsOfRecords.com :

Corrugated box within box, LP wrapped like a mummy in plastic itself and further wrapping securing to it 2 jewel boxed CDs held motionless. Perfect, perfect, and perfect. (I've actually bought vinyl & CDs from these guys for years. Recommend, esp for #reggae.)

Nyt jo kasikymppinen Jimmy Cliff julkaisi tämän sangen mainion Brave Warrior -levynsä vuonna 1975.

Peccato che nel Fediverso non ci sia anima viva residente nel sud italia, altrimenti questo toot avrebbe avuto senso

A parte gli scherzi, ma come mai non ci sono meridionali su Mastodon?! Esiste una spiegazione sociologica per caso?!
