Trojan Records to release 5,000 CD box set with every Jamaican tune recorded between 1959 and 1999. True story! So very tru! And tru withou the "e" means XTRA TRU! Pass it on!

Like the countryside, Boom Box has tite streams.

The Wire hosts many good radio programmes that U kin flow on da line (but not in da club, unless U rock T1). Also, a Wire MP3 Gallery. I had the pleasure of hanging out with The Wire's Tony H, Rob Y and Anne H-N in Oslo, and they didn't remotely live up to the mag's beard-scratching rep. In fact, they were all charming and witty, and during LCD Soundsystem I definitely saw some Wire edit-staff boogie---even some next level air conga shit.

Nice collection of OG Jamaica photos; plus Jamaican record sleeves and even more sleeves.

Hasidic reggae? Matisyahu is far better than anyone would assume, let alone us nonreligious Goys. But once you think about all the lion in Zion stuff in reggae, it all makes perfect sense. Throw in Klezska and you have the makings of a Warped Tour for the Chosen Crew. L'chaim, Jah!
