--- - |- About 10 years ago on Thanksgiving, my grandpa waited until everyone had their mouths full, as he did when he really wanted our attention, then he shared a dream he'd recently had about how he was Santa Claus. In the dream, he was surrounded by adoring elves. Pretty cute, huh? Except they weren't elves — they were strippers peeling off their skimpy green outfits and jockeying to, ahem.

It's possible that the large crowd was partially due to it being a holiday(Canada Day) the next day but I...

Lee Scratch Perry returns to Kingston, Jamaica to film his new video for "Pum Pum" - the lead single off his upcoming new album. Old age tends to be kind to the INSANE, so L.S.P. stopped aging about 25-30 years ago. Back then, he still dubbed all day long in his Kingston-based Black Ark studio; creating new riddims and new genres out of reel to reel master tape recordings. Now the mad mad ma...

While searching the web for Lee Scratch Perry tour dates, I found the first glimpse of album art for his upcoming new album.

But Perry's myspace had this image of the Repentance album cover: http://www.myspace.com/leescratchperry He toured so much last year and already this year that he might b...

I don't actually know if this qualifies, it is more roots, but with Dillinger toasting at the end, well it might as well be old dancehall. This is one of my favorite Lee Perry productions. He produced some of his absolute best tracks for the unique voice of Junior Murvin.Keepin' the theme going...

With out going into too much detail about a world wide news story, I will say that we are all very glad Jaycee Dugard was returned home with her two children. As far as I'm concerned, that is a reason to celebrate. I don't want to go into the horrors of the perps. Them two folks will be suffering a just term for a long time now.(sigh)So...to get back to the rejoicing...I was gonna share with yo...

Inspired by John Ingham's Congos and Joe Gibbs posts, I decided to finally put up my 100 favorite reggae albums list, and revisit my critical guide to Lee Perry.In January 2005, John Corbett gave the first public screening at the Gene Siskel Center of excerpts from his 1990 interview with Lee Perry in Zurich, Switzerland. Parts of the interview were used for articles in his 1994 book, Extended...

To be honest I really wanted to post the song "Shine" from this album, but I couldn't find it. Either way, "Repentance" is the 54th album for this crazy S.O.B., now that's a whole lot of weed.
