Sorry Chronic, but I did have you in mind when I linked that Codeine song. I guess I did go a little bit overboard. I must be KWAAAAAZY!!!
Joy Division.

Appreciate your friends
after that, I will listen to
I'm sorry that both of the links are videos from some amateur-kids.
I just couldn't find any official video of these songs at youtube.
So, for all the purists among us, I'd recommend to either close your eyes while listening to these fantastic songs from the links or try to find them as mp3 somewhere.
Artist: Ernest Ranglin
Track: Psychedelic Rock
Album:Sounds & Power
I am completely hooked on Ranglin now-a-days.
He has such a wide variety styles.
On each album I find tracks that surprise me and sound like nothing I've ever heard before!
And he has tons of backlog albums which should make him interesting to collect.
Anybody out there have some old Ranglin albums?:)

He played on hundreds of records in the rocksteady (early reggae) days, many times uncredited (since he was a session musician). They didn't make albums in Jamaica in those days, so it was all singles. Good luck collecting all that. ;)
Yeah, I know, and he's played on loads of jazz records as well.
Just imagine coming from all those rocksteady sessions on Jamaica and being booked as the resident guitarist at http://www.ronniescotts.co.uk/about/ jazz club in London. And isn't that his guitar on
Not to mention . What a contrast to jazz at Ronnie Scott's!
He's worked a lot with Monty Alexander over the years, like here: http://montyalexander.com/rocksteady/index.html
He jumps from reggae to .
He's even done the reggae with drum machines that you hate.;)
Always in a no nonsense playful way and he's not afraid to do things simple.
Reminds me of Grant Green in that aspect.
Did Green ever do any reggae?
Oh oh.
Link crazy!
Ahhh!
I'm stuck in a Ranglin loop on Youtube!:cool:

Well, the people who were involved in establishing that particular Jamaican sound early on were usually jazz musicians. If they were formally trained, anyway. The yard-schooled musicians played mento or one of the other Caribbean variations on that style.
But Ranglin was the mentor and inspiration to all of the early reggae guitarists; Chinna Smith, Hux Brown, Tony Chin, Peter Tosh... Bob Marley always named Ranglin when interviewers asked him who the top Jamaican musicians were. Ranglin played on quite a few early Wailers records.
All of those early guys were very versatile. It wasn't until the rocksteady era that young musicians who were schooled playing strictly Jamaican sounds started to dominate the scene. But even then, many of the musicians came up through the Alpha Boys School, where they were taught music in a more traditional way.

Hey hoochmonkey, thanks for that! I actually had never heard of them before. I just checked that out on youtube and also some of their other stuff. You were right. I liked it, i'll have to check out more of them for sure.
Were you familiar with the pink spiders, or did you recommend that based on the nirvana, beatles thing I mentioned?

no, I had to look them up. I listened to a few things on their myspace page. but I immediately thought of The Exploding Hearts. unfortunately, 3 of the 4 members died when their van flipped a few years ago.

There's a pretty good band from Chicago called "Company of Thieves".
This is a video from when they were guests on Daryl Hall's web-show. He shares vocals with Genevieve and it all sounds good because, uh, he didn't write the song.

She's got a distinctive voice. She should stop imitating whatever singer she's imitating (can't put a name to the voice at the moment, but you probably know who it is) and let loose.
Daryl Hall, what the fuck. Desperately clinging to a shred of relevance, is he? Well, that didn't suck anyway. But like you said, mainly due to the fact that he was just a sideman on the song.
