Have we done the classics yet?

I love Linval Thompson but sometimes it blows my mind that he can get away with song after song about dreadlocks and cannabis with a single chord

LOL that's part of the charm. And really there's loads of artists that sing about weed excessively.

Even though it's not cool or hardcore to like Bob Marley - i love the shit out of him.

could post most of his discography lol

During the recent heatwave Mary Anne Hobbs was playing a lot of reggae and dub. It made perfect sense and sounded so much better than it does when you’re freezing your nuts off in winter. Tracks sounded fucking sweet. In a weird way it also made the unbearable heat more bearable.
