Jamaica is having a good laugh about a woman collapsing at Half Way Tree after loving herself too much. This might give Stein´s “Real Thing” a second round of airplay.

Palms Out Remix Sunday is put on hold because of Google/IFPI/RIAA fuckery. But they´re almost through with moving to an own server.

I had posted the videos to Terry Lynn´s first two singles and I pointed you to Wildlife!´s Cristle Castles remix of “Knight Crusade”, but somehow I totally forgot to check out her album. On Friday, I finally did and what can I say - it´s epic. Not only does Terry spit and tell stories like “M.I.A. in real” (Markus Staiger on rap.de), she can also sing like your favourite gospel queen. As it´s Sunday, I decided to share the final track of “Kingstonlogic 2.0” - which is Terry´s version of “Rivers of Babylon” - originally recorded by Brent Dowe and Trevor McNaughton from The Melodians and covered e.g. by The Skatalites and Sublime amongst a bus-full of others.

Quite a list of stuff for a Friday: The quote above was ripped out of an funny to irritating interview with Roots Manuva found on State magazine. Two more articles more (Wildlife) or less (Gleaner) worth reading are a Gleaner piece on violent dancehall lyrics and a Wildlife! feature in Kinki magazine (via 45ers).

In case you´re brain prefers audio/visual information to text, check Cyan Wait´s latest edition of basses for the masses, 77Klash´s performance of “Caroline” at CMJ 2008 and the footage of Superhorstjansen´s first fashion show in Hamburg, Germany.

P.S. As you´re money won´t be worth anything soon anyway, invest in Ronny Trettmann’s, Uwe Kaa’s and the Roots Rockers’ latest releases now available at SoulForce and Amazon.

The Fader gave me some details on M.I.A.´s finally available fashion line, TNT´s performance at the last Fader release party and some genre-blowing “reggae artists” like De Tropix, Natalie Storm and Terry Lynn in the latest edition of Ghetto Palms.

And Rockers NYC pointed me to an excellent BBC documentary on The Specials.
