Just stumbled across this recently - Millie Small (as in "My Boy Lollipop") basically flicking the Vs at a racist old shit.

 

Good on her!

Sad to hear the passing of Aston Barrett today. You'd hear him and drummer Carlton Barrett (no relation, I don't think) rhythms everywhere in the mid/late seventies. Which was no bad thing.

RIP to "Family Man" Barrett.

 

Carlton was his younger brother.

Just classic. Brilliant. Marley doesn't need to start singing, the guitar followed by the drum and bass line tell you you're about to listen to a classic.

Concrete jungle from the OGWT. I know we've all seen it a thousand times but it just never gets any less awesome.

Oh yeah. Was a good Specials thing on Sky Arts last night that kept me up an hour later than I should have.

From last night's Terry Hall special. This song perfectly outlines what the worlds got to look forward to because of American foreign policy. Beautifully sung by Hannah Hu.
