I Roy - Straight To The Heart (Zero G Sound)

noreply@blogger.com (Zero G Sound) — Sat, 24 May 2008 19:04:00 GMT

. Along with U-Roy, Dennis Alcapone, and Big Youth, I-Roy was one of a quartet of DJs that reigned supreme over the Jamaican music scene during the early to mid-'70s. Of the four, I-Roy was the most eloquent, and his toasts were littered with references to pop culture, from movies to historical figures. He was also one of the most prolific, cutting scores upon scores of singles, and dozens of albums....

I personally believe Glastonbury would have needed a very big attraction on the scale of U2, Radiohead or Coldplay to sell out tickets for this year’s event in anywhere near the record breaking time. Maybe this will stop the so-called ‘ethical hippy’ promoters...

The roots of deejay music are buried in the excitement of the Ska music era. Those were the days of the dancers, primarily the shufflers. Ska music saw the birth of the deejay.

I was going to write a flippant (hopefully funny) post about the IPL's imported cheerleaders, and about cheerleading in general. But I’ve read far too many Funny Posts (and articles) about them now, and pretty much everyone who wrote one has come off sounding like an asshat. U. Roy illustrates this in a Hindustan Times column about how cheerleaders should expect lewd remarks from crowds because

"Like many longtime clerks, Mr. Allen is frighteningly knowledgeable. Testing out a random single on the store turntable, he discerned in a few seconds that it had the wrong label: it wasn’t 'Good Morning Dub,' he said, but rather U-Roy’s 'Music Addict,' from around 1987, itself a response to Horace Ferguson’s 'Sensi Addict.' That earned him a quick sale, and later research confirmed that he was right...
