Quick apologies for the long in-between posts. I will reciprocate with musical love to the internet massive. One thing, there’s no such thing as ‘Dubday’. Although it’d be nice won’t it? People walking around humming and throwing a few licks into the air with their portable samplers and guitars. Instead of using verbal conversations, people would communicate with echoed out horns, piano licks, and Augustus Pablo-stylee melodica riffs. How awesome would that be?

So today is sunday (October 25th_10/25, 2009), and later this afternoon from 2pm to 7pm at 1836 East 4th St in Long Beach, Dj Fraze and I will be hosting our generic-named event called Reggae Sundays at The Pike. Generic only in name, but not in sound, which is the opposite if I may add. We think it’s important to keep it generic in that sense, because there’s so many different genres within reggae itself, that we can’t keep it tied down with a specific language. But I did title today’s blog post-promo with “Dubday”, because we’ve created a Top-5 selection podcast of classic reggae-dub music. Without further delay, (sorry I’m a bit chatty), here are some essential tunes from the producers in popular reggae-dub: (click for more track information)

Let’s do the hump. Wednesday. Tonite. Its on.

Classic hip-hop, bass-huggin roots, dub, a bit of funk and soul, but overall, a cool, loungey-mellow vibe. Have a drink or two, and ride with us after. How about that?

“You can’t love them all”, says our man Dean Martin.

Oi! Oi! Oi! We’re at the peak of the summer, and the heat rises everyday. Speaking of scorchers, if you’ve got an itch for boss tunes and early rocksteady fever, Fraze from our beloved Best Kept is spinning a set-load of fire-starters at the infamous Fais Do-Do in Mid-West LA. Joining him is our friends from Trojan Lounge, Bigger Boss (from Pama Int’l), Lady Busty Brown, and Soulsides/Trojan Lounge resident, the footballer Marv Mack (j/k, the guy is huge though).

Come on through, because the couches are soft, the drinks are cheap, there’s a cool & DARK patio in the back for extracurricular activities *hint-hint*. Besides, theres a nice collection of new and old Vespas that hang out front, making sure to induce drooling and double-takes on your checking account.

Check Fusicology and www.faisdodo.com for the event calendar.

Just a quick reminder:

By internet blogging standards and ethics, we should not theoretically exist, because sites who don’t update their content often enough are banished into blogger purgatory. Its the stage where no one really knows what’s going on, and asking if you’re either going up or down, staying here, or staying there…pick a choice buddy. Sorry, I can’t really give you a clear answer. But hey, no love lost to the people. Low energy don’t mean killed energy, and nevertheless, the energy is still there. We just don’t use these promotional tools well enough like some people. Its all that gosh darn technology y’all kids are messin’ about. Them tweeters, and them spacebooks, them makes me teeth’rs fall out. Makes a brotha feel old even though he’s only 28 years young. I mean, we do only spin real records, which makes us old anyway…(click more for more dumb-ass ranting)

Much thanks for the heads that came out to support and enjoy the musical vibes last saturday night. ‘Twas a hit guaranteed, and a reminder to everyone that it won’t be the last!
