Thanks for the intro.....

Curious, you ever take in the stoopid section at Jenny's? Good spot to eat breakfast and get your morning fix all while watching life go by......

These are all great bands! The Aggrolites remind me alot of the Motown sound that I used to hear around the house growing up. The rest of the bands I heard when driving in my son's car and he plays them on his Iphone.

Another side note ... open up your ears to
the Thievery Corporation ...
Warning Shots(2005) - single
Originality (2006) -single

Babylon Rewound (2004) - CD
they are a blend of so many styles ..
not EVERYONE'S style ..but an interesting listen .. & wicked LIVE !!!

SS...speaking of CD's there is a guy up on the westend that has all kinds of CD's for sale that he mixes up. Think he is located somewhere around Negril Escape but not positive. I bought a bunch from him in February for my son and he loved them all (my son is a big fan of slightly stooped). Does anyone know the guy I'm talking about? His name escapes me and would be nice to put a name with a face when I take my son to meet him in December! My tastes are more towards the Maytals , Dennis Brown, Peter Tosh, etc....and those CD's were just as good from him!

hey Butch, the guy your talking about is called Doc. The music dr.
I always buy my cd's from him. He is by Negril Escape and the "car wash" I tell him Roots Reggae and no dancehall and he always gets me what I don't already have. I asked him 3 years ago how he does that and he told me he keeps a "log" for his repeat customers.
