On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Hunker Down Dub, Now it’s On-U


Well, as of midnight last, "Shelter in Place" is now Cali state mandate.

However, I get to go to work nonetheless, out in the public, working in the pit of it all, the grocery stores. Providing my "essential service" putting out magazines...errrr...essential magazines (People, Cosmopolitan, National Enquirer, etc....you know the "essential" ones...really Essence is the only essential one).

But it's the weekend now. I'm hunkered down, lissenin' to musick...sick...sick, smoking some Kali weed.

The following might be 21st Century AHC, but get real, son...

Bonjo is still the man, Crocodile is still A Maxwell Sherwood, George Oban is still Ras Levi, King Cry Cry is still Prince Far I, & Skip is Skip.

...it doesn't really get any better than this.

Aunt Jemima's Flapjack Ninja Killers from Hell

20-20 Vision


"So Mr, Mr. DJ
Keep those records playin'
'Cause I'm a-havin' such a good time
Dancin' with my baby"

Many of my NSS friends have been hittin' me with emails..."What's up?" "You still out there?"

Life sometimes just creeps up on us all & makes us do other things.

This blogging shit is like a drug. I had to go cold turkey. Now the longer I'm away from it the less I need the fix, but every so often, in the hour of the wolf...

"The hour between night and dawn. The hour when most people die, when sleep is deepest, when nightmares are most real. It is the hour when the sleepless are haunted by their deepest fears, when ghost and demons are most powerful..."

I fear taking just this one hit...that's how it starts...

I'll probably be back...I'm not that strong...but for now...what I'm doing & what I'm dubbing.
