Friday, April 04, 2003 It's like Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde meets Buckaroo Banzai! One of the things I love about the SGF is her disdain for Reggae; it's something I love dearly, as I too, growing up in Humboldt County, was tortured excessively by hacky-sack players and cheerful unwashed college students blasting, every time I turned on the college radio, some seventeen minute ganja manifesto.So why did I download Mystic Warrior by Lee "Scratch" Perry and the Mad Professor? Why am I listening to it now? There's some violent schism in my personality, some sort of desperate rebellious streak, or some strange masochistic warp in my soul. (Although maybe I speak too soon--I've made it track four and it feels like the record's been playing for three hours now). Like any good Amercan, I blame video games. The reggae station on GTA III got some play during all the many hours I was toodling around doing drive-by's. Also it's kinda hard not to love a lyric like "deliver us from vampires...deliver us from voodoo workers" in a song called "Kung-Fu Fighting" (it rhymes, in true reggae/dub fashion, with "people uniting.") I seem to grow more perverse the older I get... posted by Jeff Lester | 11:28 AM | |
