little axe - bought for a dollar, sold for a dime

The making of the new Little Axe album Bought for a Dollar, Sold for a Dime, launched May 21st in London with a live mix by On-U Sound label founder and Little Axe producer, Adrian Sherwood and released June 7th.
'Bought For A Dollar, Sold For A Dime... Addictive rhythms. Soulful vocals. Pinches of dub and funk, reggae and gospel. Oh-so-subtle samples and innovative electronics. And underpinning it all, Skip McDonald's shimmering blues guitar licks, conjuring a space where the dirt roads of the Deep South meet the shiny lanes of the Information Superhighway', says record label Real World Records.

bounty commercial with jungle funk's 'trance'

Remember this one? Bounty used 'Trance' in the Jungle Funk version for a commercial, some ten years ago. In my memory the song wasn't as cut up as in this version of the commercial, but maybe that's because it's Polish or something.
Anybody out there with a better version?

lee perry interviewed by 'de jakhalzen'

Lee 'Scratch' Perry interviewed by 'De Jakhalzen', part of one of Holland's most popular tv shows, called 'De Wereld Draait Door'. The conversation was taped after the gig Perry did in venue Luxor Live in Arnhem.

'get carter' run over

You're looking at the most remarkable item in my record collection. It's the only piece of vinyl that took a flight at more than 80 kilometres an hour and a traffic accident and is still playable.
It's a copy of Jah Wobble's 'Get Carter' 10-inch that just recently was released by Pressure Sounds. 'Two new heavyweight versions' says the label and they couldn't have said it better.
I bought the record along with Lee 'Scratch' Perry's 12-inch 'Excersising' (out on On-U Sound) and put both records in my messenger bag for the trip home on my motorcycle, although they didn't fit in of course. Guess what? The wind blew both records away...
When I discovered that, I rode the same way home again, to find 'Get Carter' just beside the freeway. The Lee Perry record was nowhere to be found in the dark. The vinyl hasn't suffered from the flight, neither did it suffer from the truck that has gone straight over it, judging by the huge tire marks on the sleeve (which I only noticed a couple of days later).
One sure thing: they didn't get Carter!
