extraordinary reggae

fwiw there's a jamaican flag on the wall in another room. maybe they don't even own a record player. who cares.

honestly sneering on the internet at ppl who choose
to advertise their terrible taste (whether in interior design or reggae albums) is pretty low in the hierarchy of my asshole-ish behaviors and one i’m happy to continue indulging in

besides imo if you spend 2.5M to gussy up a shoebox w modernist glass, metal siding and wood paneling and then stick a bunch of thrift store reggae records - framed, at that! - in frames on the wall, you’re the asshole. although, in their defense, i did spy a soul jazz comp, plus i guess the thrift store reggae finds match the thrift store furniture

or maybe i’m the asshole for not editing my posts better, who knows?

records in frames just looks weird and stupid to me, maybe if they were signed or something? who cares indeed

idgaf about taste i sneer at people for being rich bourgeois scumbags.

anyway bummer revive

Where are you finding reggae in a thrift shop? All I can find is Al Hirt all over the damn place.

That Lacksley Castell album is great.

Lee 'Scratch' Perry - not super extraordinary by Scratch's standards but could be the only reggae tune that has a sneeze in it

From the same album, this one is extraordinary because it could be the only reggae tune that has the word 'clammy' in the lyrics. Unless I'm mishearing the chorus. Which is possible

YouTube recommended me some 'non-metal albums for metalheads' vid for some reason and Return of the Super Ape was in the thumbnail

roy smith - “bondage”

That is some extraordinary reggae.

Yeah that's great!

The guitar part in Skinhead Moonstomp which seems to be trying to experiment with slide in a minimal way and may sound more fitting in a spacerock or noise lp

I heard it on a compilation set a couple of weeks ago and it stood out at the time and I've wondered if there was a widely known backstory to it since. seems a bit avant or cod avant for a band of the ilk to be playing at the time. Sounds like the connecting bits in a wilder exploration by somebody like Hendrix or similar from the more psychedelic scene around the time it was recorded in 1970
