Desmond Dekker! RIP. I saw him on his last tour in San Francisco. I couldn't tell how old he was. He was too lively. All I remember was dancing. The spirit that took hold of that room was almost too magnanamous for words. Although these words are good to have in the mind all ways. Especially in the middle of a week. Mooska

So Crashpryor has gotten me onto a bit of a ska kick. I have found myself getting out more and more of its music, and playing it in the backround while I am searching for work in the great state of Minnesota. It's a genre that is highly underrated, and I feel should get its proper due. Trojan records has been putting out cd's since 1967. Their whole thing is to try and "present the very best in...
