A little wake up for the weekend vibes...

You raided my 90s cassette tapes! Long live the 90s!!! (somebody, please take me back)

Remembering the 90s - went to see '311' last night. I had a blast. And for once with an older established band, quite a lot of the audience appeared younger than me!

Good vibes bro...good vibes... 😎

Victor Wooten (The Wooten Brothers)...nuff said.

Byron Lee. Iconic for me in particular as I am only familiar with his stuff on the Soca scene. I only knew him as 'Byron Lee and the Dragonaires'. My dad had a record player, but only like 3 records I just remember two. One was a Salsoul Christmas record, and the other a Byron Lee (my initial interest had nothing to do with the album art as a young boy of course 😜 ). And some of those Soca tunes are ingrained in us, play that in any Fete and the crowd will just feel it!

That intro to the Towers of Dub. "Babylon an' 'ting".....I don't know if that is some sketch I should know or they did it, but man that whole thing had me rolling

The nostalgia is strong with this one. Plus, in my humble opinion, the greatest (and most fun) example....to show what one chord can do 😛

Finally saw Jazzbois tonight at Brick Lane Jazz Festival (Rough Trade East). Adds to the vibe seeing them perform in a record shop. They were a Youtube find about a year ago, and I've had them on repeat and been waiting to see when they come to London since. And talking to someone affiliated, I realised they were confirmed yesterday to play Jazz Cafe later this year...I am stoked!

Oh my goodness, that website is awesome! I did not know about that either....sweet.

I've had a melody (and its lyrics) stuck in my head for decades now from a song I heard in the 90s. It was a line in a dancehall song, but I just can't remember what that song or the artist was. So recently I actually tried in earnest to find that 90s song. I still have not found it, but in doing so, I realised that the melody is actually quoting another much older song (I should have known). And now, I've found a bunch of versions of that original song (it must be popular, I just did not know about it!). I see versions by Dennis Brown, The Skatalites, Anthony B and the Mighty Vikings. But I'll put the version here from Johnny Clarke cause I'm diggin that vibe today...I'm still on the hunt for my song, but the internet/youtube can be a wonderful thing.

Rotem Sivan Trio at PizzaExpress Jazz in Soho. I've not been there in over a decade, but I always treasure the 'jazz' experience of listening to top notch musicians in such a proper small jazz club where you sit down, have a drink, they are like 10 feet away from you and playing live. He and his group did not disappoint. Great music, ambience and vibe...makes me feel all grown up

A freaking classic. In the clubs, they would play this (I'm sure they still do back where I'm from). The whole crowd would start singing, and when he came down to the last 2 lines, we all would just go nuts. every. single. time.

Now returning from seeing Peter Collins. You probably don't know him. Heck, I did not know of him before 3 weeks ago. Not a bass to be seen, but for me, one of the best performances I've ever witnessed.

Oh the memories. As a young kid our family would go to Church Saturday evenings, and after I made sure they did not loiter or chit chat too much, cause we (I) needed to make sure to be back home in time for me to watch Knight Rider

I get that is ole' time Ska but from the moment I started listening to it, it just took me back to a feeling of hearing ole' time calyspo, especially through my Grandmother's little blue transistor Radio that never turned away from this particular AM radio station she would play every morning. That feeling and memories I just got was nice...thanks granny for the early morning melodies

I bought a wonderful bass from Wayne. Packaging was great and delivered super fast. Awesome gent to deal with!

Gargamel!

Thank You @peponbass for sharing your experience and helping everyone on this forum be more knowledgable and safe.

Yes people, flicking through that list had me remember some tunes (I'm a late 80's, early 90's boy). This one here, used to put me in a zone.

I was gonna say the same. If someone just wanted to start somewhere, the 'Legend' album by Bob Marley is where I would point them. They could then work back from there, or forwards depending, or branch out into something a bit specific (But you guys in here know way more about the lineage than I do)
