I find it pretty funny that a song about passing joints became a kids' novelty hit in the 80s.

When I was in London I went to a little record store rammed with Jamaican vinyl. They had the Mighty Diamonds' first album. Of course I decided not to buy it and when I realised my mistake and went back it was already gone. Hooray.

¿isnt that what everyone does?- ¿just not so forthright?

i quite like this, in fact i saw this post only two minutes after a friend told me he'd just bought some of their stuff and i'd like it.

Erlend Øye, the singer from the Kings of Convenience, did an album called 'Unrest' that I reckon is great. Seems no one else liked it, cos I got it cheap at Real Groovy. He travelled round meeting up and working with different producers in Europe and North America, so each track is kinda different, although most of it has a bit of an 80s synth pop vibe.

His DJ Kicks album that came out recently is pretty good too if you like house. Heard it in a bar on Friday night and it went down really well compared to your usual aural wallpaper. I get goosebumps when he sings the Smiths' 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' over an instrumental of Royksøpp's 'Poor Leno'.

its even better if you stop the song before the intro

there's a solitary mp3 on the soulseek network but you'll have to wait till the guy is online
failing that,
