jamaica

here's a thread about the island jamaica. i've been
listening to a lot of jamaican music, and it blows my mind
considering the sheer volume of tunes that have come from
this impoverished, politically troubled and fairly tiny
island. so much invention, irie and dread, enough for the
whole world.

i'd like to visit jamaica, but it seems like it might be
like going to detroit because you like motown. the golden
age of reggae music has come and gone.

has anyone been to jamaica? anyone keen on lambsbread?
enjoy a blue mountain brew? ska, rocksteady, reggae, roots
and so on?

They have no food but the boy have gun
In these days they don't throw the stone
Nor use the voice they use the gun alone
In these days to be an oddity
Be hunted down like a scarcity


May you too be hunted down like a fucking scarcity.

a girl i lived with about 6 years ago went to jamaica and
her stories and the pics she brought back were awesome.

there's definitely slums, but there's also a ton of pretty
places.

It's quite dangerous there. Not the kind of place you can
enjoy music and smoking dope. Come to Switzerland !

i've been there, jack. and lemme tell you, it was fucking
boring.

switzerland is a dead, dull, boring, piece of shit chunk of
rock with absolutely nothing going for it.

just kiddin'.

i heard a rumor that the young gods were from switzerland.
isn't fennesz from switzerland? that's good enough for me.

i'll get a zimmer in zurich, paint the town red, etc.

sure jamaica's got some crime, but i think they rope off
those areas to keep friendly tourists alive and spending
money.

whoa, waitaminit.

in switzerland, or in jamaica?

i don't want to risk being recruited into the lifestyle
while i'm all spliffed up and vulnerablized while jamming to
the sweet reggae vibration, or, uh the young gods cover
bands that are currently all the rage...

clarify my good sir!

it's cool, i mix in really well with the square swiss crowd,
pale and pink like the pale force. i'd stand out like a
sore uh tourist in jamaica, tho only infrequently mistaken
for gay, so i dunno it's a toss up.

cripes, man, my sister in law got married there! i hardly
think my sister in law would get married in some sort of
outlaw place.

according to this website, there are people being murdered
in switzerland practically every year! i'm not sure i want
to take that risk...

swiss killing machine

the statistics don't lie my friend.

you've just got this freaky pro-swiss bias, probably because
you are either especially fond of switzerland for reasons
unknown, or maybe you've even visited. maybe you even live
there, and you're living in denial about the consequences.

switzerland, isn't that the country where the guy agreed to
be eaten by the other guy, after they met on the internet,
and realized they were both from switzerland, and one of
them had the desire to eat a person, and the other guy had
the twisted notion to be eaten by a person, so they met up
in zurich or something? it was all over the news, i'm
surprised you didn't hear about it.

yeah sorry i'm pullin' yer leg.

jamaica's got one of the highest murder rates in the world,
switzerland has one of the lowest, the cannibal murder was
in germany, and unfortunately both peter tosh and king tubby
(rip) were tragically murdered in jamaica.

but i'm trying to focus on the good here, and the fact
remains that jamaica has generated more than it's share of
great music.

g'night!
